1. Wuthering Heights (1992)
Heathcliff-
Those eyes can bore right through my heart. No matter what a vagabond he may be, I can't help but love him as my favourite character.

2. The Deer Hunter (1978)
Nick-
Crazed by his experiences of war and flippant about his existence Nick plays with death, holding a loaded revolver to his head in a game of Russian roulette. All life already drained from his body he pulls the trigger and takes on his odds against the house...

3. The Number 23
Walter Sparrow-
Jim Carrey's normally warm and joyfully expressive face is this time hauntingly passionate yet unhinged.

Dionysian Child's rating:

People who added this item 749  Average listal rating (475 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 7.8 
4. The Machinist (2004)
Trevor Reznik-
A man suffering from extreme insomnia hangs on the brink of life. His mind warped and reality altered by his inability to sleep. Bale rocks up another perfect performance.

5. Sin City (2005)
Kevin-
The silent soulless murderer Kevin stalks his prey before ripping apart his victims with his finger nails and devouring them. Elijah Wood's normally baby blue eyes are transformed into a chilling heartless void.

6. Twilight (2008)
Edward Cullen-
I guess the fact that he has been dead for over a hundred years helps to give Edward the detached soulless glare that is his tortured trade mark. Far worse for Edward than any other vampire though, is the fact that he is in love with a mortal; constantly torn between his love and equal desire to eat the girl of his dreams.

7. 28 Days Later... (2002)
'The Infected'-
The virally overrun inhabitants of England mean business with their blood red eyes of rage.

People who added this item 1053  Average listal rating (622 ratings) 7.2  IMDB Rating 7.1 
8. Girl, Interrupted (1999)
Lisa Rowe-
Psychopathic inmate Lisa, displays no attachment or empathy to those around her. Fulfilling only her own need and desires she easily manipulates the vulnerable around her.

Dionysian Child's rating:

People who added this item 1676  Average listal rating (1225 ratings) 7.6  IMDB Rating 8.5 
9. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
T-1000-
Cold calculated, robotic killing machine from the future. Played to perfection with an unflinching glare as he slaughters young John Connor's adoptive mum, with a spike through the throat as he talks to the poor boy on the phone.

Dionysian Child's rating:

People who added this item 713  Average listal rating (409 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.2 
10. The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
The Phantom-
The ultimate tortured soul. Living alone in the underworld of the opera house has not faired kindly on the Phantom. Then he finds inspiration, hope and love in the form of a young chorus girl Christine. Initially allured by the seductive nature of the dark phantom she later decides to live above ground with her childhood sweet heart.

A lifetime of abuse and neglect shines forth in Gerard Butler's eyes as he portrays the desperation and unrequited passion of The Phantom.

11. The Constant Gardener (2005)
Justin Quayle-
On hearing the fate of his beloved wife. His eyes turn to stone, yet reveal a world of pain.

Dionysian Child's rating:

People who added this item 303  Average listal rating (204 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.4 
12. Flatliners (1990)
David Labraccio-
When a group of young medical students play about with line between life and death they end up bringing back unwanted company from the other side. Kevin Bacon has always had a presence that terrifies me.

Dionysian Child's rating:

People who added this item 2976  Average listal rating (1971 ratings) 7.7  IMDB Rating
13. Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Edward Scissorhands-
Not quite 'stone cold', but timid, naive and scared. Edwards eyes dutifully reflect that innocence and tentative fear of a young man pieced together with love, but left incomplete to decay alone.

Does Edward Cullen have a stare good enough to make the list?
