Movies where a character snaps (i.e. Falling Down)?

Hey all, hoping you can help me. What movies out there have a character snapping and losing it, like Michael Douglas in Falling Down?

Thanks in advance.

Death Wish, which will be remade in 2010 starring Sylvestor Stallone.
The Last House on the Left (1972, remade in 2009).

"I think you're all fucked in the head. We're ten hours from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgeory to remove our godamn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're assholes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shit!"

Does it have to be a 2-legged character? If not, then:
