What are your 3 most favourite films characters of all time?

Just out of interest and because I like films....

Ok I'll start

Don Jaun - Johnny Depp - Don Jaun DeMarco
Kit Carruthers - Martin Sheen - Badlands
Garret Breedlove - Jack Nicholson - Terms of Endearment

I'm not really a fan of actors or Actresses who find fame because of their good looks but Depp is a seriously good actor and plays the role of a delusionist in DJDM superbly - great film.

Badlands. Tarrantino who scripted 'True Romance' got a few ideas from this film including the haunting musical score. Sheen plays Kit to a tee, his best film by a mile.

Terms of Endearment is a classic but I doubt it would have had the same impact if Garret would have been played by anyone other than Nicholson. He was seriously funny!

Something to ponder upon

 

My film knowledge is more Dyslexic than eclectic so:-

Red (Morgan Freeman) in Shawshank
Wile-E-Coyote (you know the one)
Doug Ireland (Michael J Fox) in For Love or Money (The Concierge)

Make what you can of that lot.

 

So many films, so many characters but here is 4 I particularly like:

Red Metcalfe (Ken Stott) in Messiah
Nickie Dryden (Billy Connolly) in The Debt Collector
Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) in Schindlers List.
Last but not least James Bond (Sean Connery) especially Goldfinger.

 

Not sure if it is the characters or the acting performaces I like but here are my 3.

Robert De Niro - Jake Lamotta - Raging Bull

Brad Pitt - Mickey O'Neil - Snatch

Tom Hanks - Captain Miller - Saving Private Ryan

Rusty

 

I'm not much of a fan of films generally, because most of them seem to follow the same standard template. However, here goes:

Jackie Chan in anything. Especially his earlier films. Martial arts with the emphasis definitely on the 'arts' part. Almost comedy kung fu.

Arnold Schwarznegger in Commando, with the state of the art ammo that magically grows back just because the camera changes angle.

The Fembots in Austin Powers. They were terrifying.

 

For me, I love films so there are so many, but I like these;

Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) ~ the first 3 Bourne films.

Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) ~ all the rocky films.

Dutch (Arnold Schwarznegger) ~ Predator.

 

I'm not really a film buff but i'd go for....
Jack Nichollson....One flew over the cukoos nest.....
Gene Wilder......Willy Wonka....
Bet Davies...Baby Jane.....

 

A few not so well knowns but who could omit Sean Connery as Bond - good call!
I'm waiting for the ladies to comment......
There is one guy who is always mentioned and the film is probably the most liked by women of all time...any takers?

Edit: Lolimac beat me to it!

 

How strange, I was typing and my whole post disappeared ...

I would like to say the actual films and not the actors because there are very often more than one actor involved in a film that makes it special ... my first one is a testimony to that ...

1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Schindlers List
3. The Perfect Storm

... but then there are ...

... Young Frankenstein
... The Blues Brothers
... Dusk Till Dawn
... One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

... and many, many more ...

 

Jason Bourne. Borne series
007, any James Bond.
Jim royle. The royle family.

 

Here goes mine

Jason Bourne - the Bourne series
Tom Hanks - cast away
Daniel Craig - casino royale

 

Alan Rickman in the Harry Potter filums, he just so looks the part.

Arnie

Number 3, i'm torn between Eddie Murphy, Morgan Freeman & Johnny Depp.

 

I am not a movie watcher, so I am not really much qualified to answer...Anyway I like Gerard Depardieu character in the movie "green card", anthony hopkins all around, michael douglas, harrison ford - actresses: marcia cross (Brie in: desperate housewives), bette midler (in: Beaches), whoopy golberg although I cannot quite digest her face, but I think she is a good actress...
