Which film character do like like above all others?
Is there anybody out there in film world that resembles you?
Or just somebody that you like, or want to be?

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:

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.

Ray liotta's Henry Hill in Goodfellas. Nobody pistolwhips girlfriend harrassing punks into trembling submission like him.

Carmine

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?

*Ryan*

patrick bateman "your compliment was sufficient"

oh and stifler, some of the quotes.. classic

Arnold

Another great character is Brando in The Godfather, that is pure class. The best film ever in my opinion.

Carmine
07-06-2005, 09:58
Perhaps the best selection of characters must be the ensemble in "The Princess Bride".

Westley, Fezzik, Inigo and Vizzini.

A better cast?...Inconcievable!!!:clap:

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).

Carmine
07-06-2005, 10:40
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!

said in la haine, played by said tagmahoui, brings a sort of comedy element to a really 'gritty' film

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.

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.

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.
