Film Room Top 20 Greatest Movie Characters

[Taadow]

Marlon and Robert played the same character, breh. He only takes up 1 space, just like you had Annakin take up just one space. Fix it.

Nope. Vito is that bomb that both renderings of him are worth 2 slots.

 

[Still FloW]

Just paled in comparison to every one in the series man. the 1st, the 3rd and the 4th eat it for lunch and there's a good chance the 5th will too

you loved the first one ? that was kinda boring to me, it was the action and twists in the 2nd one that got me hooked..

the only thing i love about the first one was that iconic scene with him dropping down the shaft

I actually agree. How many complicated black psychos have there been on screen? Whites get to be complicated and psycho all the time. Pac's Bishop is iconic and underrated.

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

1. Maximus (Gladiator)
2. Achilles (TROY)
3. Rubin Carter (Hurricane)
4. Steven Hiller (Independence Day)
5. Carl Brashear (Men of Honor)
6. Salt

17. Justice (Janet Jackson)
18. "Monsieur" Calvin J. Candie (D'Jango)
19. Jack (Titanic)
20. Minny (The Help) [you just ate my shyt ]

I was gonna put Maximus and forgot

1. Stephen (Sam L. Jackson) - Django Unchained (I hated him, but as a character he's fascinating to me.)
2. Kirk Lazarus - Tropic Thunder
3. Doughboy - Boyz n the Hood
4. Pacman - Colors
5. Hannibal Lecter - Silence of the Lambs
6. The Merovingian - Matrix Reloaded
7. WALL-E
8. Mickey - Snatch
9. Hans Landa - Inglorious Basterds
10. Ron Burgundy
11. Johnny Quid - RockNRolla
12. Billy Ray Valentine - Trading Places
13. Michael Corleone - The Godfather
14. Gollum - LOTR
15. Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder version)
16. Holly Golightly - Breakfast at Tiffany's
17. Tom (Viggo Mortenson) - A History of Violene
18. King Xerxes - 300
19. Mathilda - Leon: The Professional
20. Wikus - District 9

That was trickier than I thought.

Love the Merovingian pick. Really wanted him on my list but couldnt justify it with all the other candidates and his relative lack of screen time.

Nope. Vito is that bomb that both renderings of him are worth 2 slots.

I also have both renditions on my list. They have to be separated..two different actors, two vastly different ages/stages of his life and two classic performances. Both more than worthy.

I definitely considered Billy Ray, but in thinking about it I surmised that Billy Ray could've been played by anybody
and it would've been done just. But Dan Akroyd really kilt it with Louis imo...he was the perfect stuffed-shirt rich jerk
you'd love to hate...but then you really felt bad as he kept getting taken down. Kinda. lol

I realized the same thing when I was making my list.
Dark characters have more...well, character.

I almost put Riggs, John Doe, and Ike also...but I reasoned that Verbal Kint was a more
profound version of John Doe, and THE ONLY REASON I left Ike off because I told myself I would only list
fictional characters.


(you: "b-b-b-but you put Joe Clark, doe...")

stfu, I know. Eat ass.
