Top ten Characters of all time
Will have to come back to this one

No order, just all goodness.

1. Captain Jack Sparrow
2. Ash from "Medieval Dead" (aka- the original title for Army of Darkness). I mean all the ED movies, BTW.
3. Peter Fonda's character in Easy Rider
4. Inspector Clousseau (Sellers)
5. The Terminator (Arnie)
6. Dr. Frankenfurter (tim curry, in rocky horror) (Brad coming in second for the wonderufl cheese factor)
7. Jay and Silent Bob
8. Rainman (Hoffman)
9. Whoever played Sean connery on SNL Jepordy. That's just plain funny.
10. And I'd like to end with a Shakespearian character, but had some trouble figuring out which one to pick. Hamlet's my personal favorite, but Macbeth is another good one. Then there's the drunken porter in Macbeth. Falstaff, Polonius, Titus (that psycho), Puck and Bottom, Prospero... so many good characters. I'd stick with Hamlet though- he thinks himself into his own death, but he keeps a dry wit about him until the bitter end. Love it.

Ash

Darth Vader
Indiana Jones
Charles Foster Kane
James Bond
Hannibal Lecter
Captain Bligh

im sorry but i have to say something about passenger 57, give me a break a great character, you should be ashamed, just shame. :crazy:

I agree with texasvenom I had a smirk on my face when I read Passenger 57 on that list. Must really like Wesley. You could have at least chose Blade or even the character from New Jack City. If you where going to go with passanger 57 what about his character in money train? just joking but I would like to know why you think his character in 57 would be a top ten character.

Another character that was great was Mickey Knox, Natural Born Killers
Woody Harelsons scene right before the riot. Where he is telling the jokes and then he gets a shotgun from the guard and all hell breaks out with Rage in the backround..that was cool.
