Greatest Movie Characters of All Time

what about that CAK-A-ROACH TONY MONTANA?!?!?!? and maybe leonidis (spelt wrong) from 300

1.) Peter McCabe (Michael Keaton) - Desperate Measures

2.) Eric Qualen (John Lithgow) - Cliffhanger

3.) Carter Hayes (Michael Keaton) - Pacifi Heights

Guess I’m more into the dark badass freaks

Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.

Also, that creepy kid with the camera in American Beauty.

Mena Suvari in American Beauty.

OK, so I’m half kidding with the last two.

Clarence Worley deserves a spot on that list.

When I saw the thread, I immediately thought of Kilmers Doc Holliday. There are so many though.

How about a funny one.
Jeff Spiccoli.

Indeed.

My initial reaction was that Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka and DeNiro’s Jake LaMotta should be on there.

I also wonder about Hans Gruber. Die hard was a decent flick, but what was so great about Gruber?

He was played by Alan Rickman…a great brit actor.

How about Clint Eastwood as Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Highway in “Heartbreak Ridge”[/quote]

totally agree with this post.

I’d also say John Wayne movies spawned some great characters.

Sloth from the goonies.

Jack from “Jewel of the Nyle”

Rocky Balboa - Rocky

I think Neo should be moved up on the list.

Carl Spackler (CaddyShack)

Vanilla Ice (Cool As Ice)

Bullet Tooth Tony (Snatch)

And don’t forget all the horror genre characters… like Chucky, or Mike Myers, etc.

Frank White.

Conan and Rambo get my vote also!

Hannibal Lecter should be #1, in my opinion

Gollum does not belong on that list. Neither does “Red” from Shawshank. He’s just the combined accumulation of typical Morgan Freeman monologues. If anyone from that movie should be on the list, it should be Andy Dufresne.

Some others worth mentioning:

1.) Martin Kreese from Karate Kid
2.) Kyle Reese (Terminator)
3.) Rambo (from First Blood…where he’s actually an interesting character with depth)
4.) Gomer Pyle (Full Metal Jacket).

Leonidas? Is that a joke? Not only did the character suck the movie was a joke.
