DISCUSSION - Which are your (Top 10) favorite MOVIE characters of all-time?
DISCUSSION - Which are your favorite MOVIE characters of all-time?
Due to the fair amount of success with the other thread, I have decided to make the "sister" thread (as a public service). This list will probably be tougher (seeing as how there are sooo many movie characters....many of which I'll probably forget), but I'll try and think of the 1st few that come to my head. Here are my favorite movie characters of all-time: 10) "Cameron" ~ Ferris Buelers' Day Off 9) "James Carter" ~ Rush Hour I, Rush Hour II, (Rush Hour III...coming soon). 8) "Scorpion" ~ Mortal Kombat. 7) "Ace Ventura" ~ Ace Ventura I, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. 6) "T-1000" ~ Terminator 2 5) "The Joker" ~ Batman 4) "Biff" (younger version) ~ Back To The Future I, II. 3) "Steve Stifler" ~ American Pie I, II, III. 2) "Axel Foley" ~ Beverly Hills Cop I, II, III. . . . And your winner! . . . . 1) "Agent Smith" ~ The Matrix, Matrix Re-Loaded, The Matrix Revolutions Honourable mentions: "Borat", "Owen Wilson's character in Zoolander", "Grandpa from Little Miss Sunshine." Way too many others to list. :meh: p.s. Feel free to add much more than 10 (as The Miz did). btw, awesome list Miz. Last edited by Heyman; 07-24-2007 at 05:23 PM. |
