Line 88 ⟶ 89:
* Aaron Stampler from the film ''[[Primal Fear]]''.
* Frederick "Junior" Frenger from the film ''Miami Blues'' is a textbook example.
* Catherine Tramell of the ''[[Basic Instinct]]'' series is a rare example of a female sociopath in popular culture. A charismatic, seductive, {{[[Narcissist |narcissistic}}]] author, [[Femme Fatale]], pathological liar and [[Serial Killer]], she manipulates and causes the deaths of nearly everyone in the story, including many of her lovers and even her own parents, largely for her own personal gain, amusement and to inspire her novels with no real remorse whatsoever. She is even described as such by multiple characters in the films.
* Geaer Grimsrud from the film ''[[Fargo]]''. A mute, nearly emotionless man with a love of pancakes, he reveals his true colors when he murders a police officer and several innocent people nonchalantly, and later {{spoiler|kills an innocent woman for simply making too much noise and shoves his partner into a wood chipper for mouthing off to him}}. He does all of this [[Dissonant Serenity|without changing his emotionless demeanor whatsoever]].
* [[There Will Be Blood|Daniel Plainview]] is gradually revealed to be one as the film progresses.
