andy1702 24-10-2004, 00:59 Harry Burns & Sally Allbright from When Harry Met Sally have to be the funnies characters ever. Billy Crystal & Meg Ryan are good in other things too, but this has to be their masterpiece:thumbsup:

:hihi::hihi::hihi: I know what you mean!. If that Brad Pitt ever tries to take me off again, i'll sue him! :suspect:
omniotta 24-10-2004, 23:32 Darth Maul for the intent and dynamism of the character and the way he moves.

Jack / The Narator - Fight Club
Harold Zidler - Moulin Rouge (but only for his style!)
Sylvia - Brotherhood Of The Wolf (but only for her style!)
Amélie Poulain - Amélie
and last (for the moment) but most

crowefan 28-10-2004, 15:42 fin from the station agent
belle rosen ( shelley winters) Poseidon adventure
Bette Davis as margo in ALL ABOUT EVE
.and tell me I am not gay!!
Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry Callaghan, and The Man With No Name, Malcolm McDowell's portrayal of Alex in A Clockwork Orange, Robert De Niro's Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, and Lee Van Cleef's Angel Eyes. Me? Violent? Don't know what you mean.
Hey, what is your favourite film character ever. This would be due to the acting of that character but also the characters personality and attitude. Mine would be Forest from Forest Gump. He is played by Tom Hanks amazingly and also has an intresting element to him.
Patrick Bateman - Christian Bale -- American Psycho :)
Decon Frost played by Stephen Dorff in Blade, the guy is sooooo cool.
Toshiro Mifune as Kikuchiyo in "Seven Samurai"...awesome in any language.
good choice, a really gripping performance
Jack Nicholson playing The Joker from Batman
'Never Rub Another Mans Rhubarb'
pure class my fav movie villian
Swan_Vesta 07-06-2005, 09:39 Ray liotta's Henry Hill in Goodfellas. Nobody pistolwhips girlfriend harrassing punks into trembling submission like him.
His final tirade against the samurai class is very moving...especially when you consider the fact that Kurosawa himself is from a samurai family and the Japanese tendency to, shall we say "gloss over" the less desirable facets of their national history?
patrick bateman "your compliment was sufficient"
oh and stifler, some of the quotes.. classic
Another great character is Brando in The Godfather, that is pure class. The best film ever in my opinion.
Perhaps the best selection of characters must be the ensemble in "The Princess Bride".
Westley, Fezzik, Inigo and Vizzini.
A better cast?...Inconcievable!!!:clap:
DanSumption 07-06-2005, 10:35 Probably Marlon Brando as Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, but I also agree with Carmine: Mifune in any Kurosawa film is well worth watching (I love Yojimbo). Also Klaus Kinski in any Werner Herzog film creates the most compelling characters: I especially love him as Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald (Fitzcarraldo) and as Francesco Manoel de Silva (Cobra Verde).
Especially the look on Mifune's face as the old samurai is b*ggering off over the back fence in "Yojimbo" whilst all the lowlives are inside counting on him to save their hides in the turf war!
blademan 07-06-2005, 17:45 said in la haine, played by said tagmahoui, brings a sort of comedy element to a really 'gritty' film
SassyPam 07-06-2005, 20:24 Definitely has to be John McClane from the Die Hard trilogy.
Unfortunately the best line in the film contains a swear word (MF) so I will not type it.
if i could combine patrick bateman, stifler, and tyler durden, nw thats a movie
DaBouncer 08-06-2005, 08:33 Waiter: "Would you like to hear the specials"
Patrick Bateman: "Not if you wanna keep your spleen" :lol:
Bateman: I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.
DanSumption 08-06-2005, 09:17 Ooh, are we on to quotes now? Here are a few favourites from Kurtz:
"We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "*****" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"
"We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us."
"We must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig. Cow after cow. Village after village. Army after army."
"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving."
"What do you call assassins who accuse assassins?"
"Are my methods unsound?"
And, of course, straight outta Conrad: "The horror. The horror."
Actually, every line that Brando utters in that movie is pretty damn perfect.
