Great movie characters

Thought it would be fun to go over some of the great movie characters. Great characters can be almost any role, large or small, but they tend to steal the scene.

Here are five quickies:

- Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday Tombstone
- Antoniono Bandaras as El Mariachi Desparado
- Malcom McDowell as Alex Clockwork Orange
- Darth Vader The Empire Strikes Back

All of these movies I consider classics.
 
Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs (Anthony Hopkins)
Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver (Robert DeNiro)
The Joker in The Dark Knight (Heath Ledger)
Jack Torrance in The Shining (Jack Nicholson)
Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas (Joe Pesci)
Tony Montana in Scarface (Al Pacino)

All criminals :laugh:

I am ashamed to admit I never saw Taxi Driver or Midnight Cowboy, this might push me to finally watch them.
 
I have a lot of favorites, but how about Dennis Hopper in True Romance? Not a big part, but memorable. Lots of good characters in that movie, actually.

The one part about this movie that really turned me off, between Dennis Hooper & Chris Walken, how they brought up the **N** word and it wasn't any Blacks in the movie. I wonder why it had to be put into the script.

Just a thought!

He said it to piss off the Sicilian gangsters enough to kill him quickly instead of torturing him. He was pushing their buttons.
 
Clint Eastwood - Dirty Harry & Spaghetti Western
Bruce Willis - John McClaine (Die Hard Movies)
Gordon Liu - Buddah Monk (36th Chamber & Master Killer)
Wesley Snipes - Blade
So far these are my all time fav's in this order.

All true, but not as memorable as his character in David Lynch's Blue Velvet... Now that was some disturbing acting with the oxygen mask
 
Leonard Shelby in Memento. (Guy Pearce)
Oskar Schindler and Itzhak Stern and Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. (Liam Neeson/Ben Kingsley/Ralph Fiennes)

I love Memento. Picked it up on Blu-Ray recently for super cheap out of the bargain bin at Best Buy. Have it on VHS around here somewhere. Skipped the DVD lol.:p
 
Harry Callahan, of course.

Faye Dunaway in Bonnie & Clyde
Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon
Dustin Hoffman in Midnight cowboy
Mel Blanc - for all the voices in Warner Brothers cartoons.
Robert Mitchum in ... just about anything
 
Vin Diesel in Pitch Black-interesting antihero/unabashed killer
Sid 6.7 as played by Russell Crowe in Virtuosity-you could tell he was just having fun, and he was sure having fun again in The Man with the Iron Fists.
