Max Cady (Cape Fear)
If you think Max Cady from Cape Fear isn't one of De Niro's GOAT performances, then maybe you need a refresher in chilling psycho 101. This dude tattooed the scales of justice on his back, quoted Bible verses like he's auditioning for the lead in Exodus, and made the Southern accent terrifying again. Fans are split—half are scoring restraining orders, the other half are too busy rewatching his scenes to argue with you. It's the kind of role that leaves you wondering, 'Should I be impressed or just really, really scared?'
