"American Psycho" with Christian Bale as iconic serial killer Patrick Bateman was released in 2000. It's based on a novel by Brett Easton Ellis. Most people are familiar with the movie due to it's over the top violence (which was pared down to get the movie an R rating instead of NC-17). Bateman is an unlikeable character (and possibly an unreliable narrator). The movie is a great depiction of the narcissistic, greed fueled 1980's.

But did you know there is a second "American Psycho" movie? It's the direct to video "American Psycho 2: All American Girl" starring Mila Kunis (from "That 70's Show"). Feel free to skip this studio cash grab. It's a sequel in name only and has been denounced by everyone involved.

In honor of the original film, I've included a link to 25 classic 80's foods from EatThis.com here Does anyone remember Funny Feet Ice Cream? How about Dixie's Snack Crackers or Dr Pepper Gum? And I'm still eating some items on this list including Lunchables, Lean Cuisines, and my favorite Tostino Pizza Rolls.
