hes ridiculous in this an intersting VH1 series. Celebrity Rehab, its the only reality show that has ever intersted me.

Some other good characters…

Buzz Lightyear, if that counts

Judge Schmells from Cady Shack, A-uh-uh-uh-uh

Willy Wonka

Walter Sobchak- the big lebowski
Animalmother- full metal jacket :wink:
Trent- Swingers

I think Darth Vader should be #1. Mysterious, tough, vengeful, short tempered, and powerful. I wouldn’t mess with a guy who could choke your ass to death from across the room.

Cool Hand Luke

William Money - Unforgiven

John Creasy - Man on Fire

How about Sgt. Martin Riggs? Lethal Weapon 1&2 are two of the best movies ever 3 was ok and Ill stop there.

Ben Hur.

Wol your avatar makes me think of a movie character that may very well wind up on the list too if it’s done right.

-Rorschach in “Watchmen”

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates!!!

How did this character not make the list?

William Macy as Jerry Lundegaard in Fargo is another great character.

Tadanobu Asano as Kakihara in Ishi the Killer.

Randall Patrick McMurphy/Nurse Ratchitt
The Other Joker (Nicholson was born for it)
Bogart as Sam Spade /Rick from Casablanca
Nick Charles (I think.)

x2s to: the man with no name, Cool Hand Luke, Rocky

Ones I don’t like, but think are missing:
Shrek, Maverick & Iceman.

the biggest omission by far?
No Clouseau?

Gene Wilder as Young Frankenstein or even Peter Boyle as The Monster. Or while im on the topic of monsters Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s Monster and Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula.

…Brad Pitt Indeed!!

Capt. Augustus McCrae - Lonesome Dove

John Forbes Nash - A Beautiful Mind

Atticus and Scout Finch - To Kill a Mockingbird

How is Tyler Durden at #1 and Dirty Harry all the way over #23? There’s ALOT wrong with that list man. Where’s Conan?

Oh man, I was about to suggest the same thing. That scene at the beginning of Lethal Weapon where he busts those drug dealers is hilarious.

Overall, I’m not really digging this list. Jack Sparrow and Tyler Durden do not belong anywhere in the top 25. I wouldn’t mind seeing the FBI agent from Boondock Saints on there. That guy cracked me up, and was an interesting character.

I have no idea how Tyler Durden even makes the list. That had to be one of the top overhyped movies.
