Top 10 Movie Characters

No combining characters though, that's too easy.

My List:

1) Tony Montana
2) Travis Bickle
3) Jules Winnfield
4) Hannibal Lecter
5) Derek Vinyard
6) Indiana Jones
7) Forrest Gump
8) Donnie Darko
9) Jeffrey Lebowski (The Dude, happy now David2000?)
10) Alonzo Harris (Denzel in Training Day)

and for the hell of it

11) Gny. Sgt. Hartman

In no particular order:

Michael Corleone (Godfather)
Captain Benjamin Willard (Apocalypse Now)
Brian Cohen (Life of Brian, my favorite movie. )
Rick Deckard (Blade Runner)
Sanjuro Kuwabatake (Yojimbo)
Eliza Doolittle (My Fair Lady)
McMurphey (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, can't remember his first name)
Verbal Kint/Keyser Soze (Usual Suspects)
Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird)
Jake Gittes (Chinatown)

Wow, tough to keep it to 10!

Edited to add movies. Sorry Batman976, I just assumed they were obvious!

I'd put The Dude at #1. If you were a true fan, you'd know that Jeffrey Lebowski in the movie is "the other Jeffrey Lebowski, the millionaire!" to quote Walter. Jeff Bridges' character, The Dude, is the real winner, and I think is the best movie character of all time.

Now, if you really were going for the millionaire, my apologies, but that would make me lose respect for the rest of your list.

Donnie Darko too, he's great.

Hmmm... I'll try to come up with a list off the top of my head, but I'm sure I'll miss a few good ones. And for cryin' out loud people, tell us what movie they were in. Not everyone knows all these.

Some of these may have originated in books, but I'll put them on here anyway. Here they are, in no particular order.

1) Tyler Durden (Fight Club)
2) R. P. McMurphy (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest)
3) HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey)
4) Darth Vader (Star Wars)
6) Henry Hill (Goodfellas)
7) Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver)
8) Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
9) Rocky Balboa (Rocky)
10) Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs)
11) Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction)

I would add Tony Soprano (The Sopranos) to the list, but I think he's out of the running.

Of all the characters from Reservoir Dogs, why did you pick Mr. Brown? He's barely in the movie! Go with Mr. Blonde or Mr. Pink or someone.

I think this list is far and away the best so far.

Just my opinion!

A couple I would add (no point in making my own that is nearly identical to the above) would include:

Macbeth (any of the Macbeth movies)
Richard III (Richard III with Ian McKellan)
Rick Blaine (Casablanca)


Nice idea for a thread.
