why so serious?

Simple question: not what actor, but who is your favorite movie character?

I'm watching Inglourious Basterds, and I'd have to say that Lt. Aldo Raine is my favorite of all time.

Dirty Harry could kick Aldo Raines balls so high he'd have to gargle with them

Hmm hard to pick one.

Off the top of my head I'd have to say Tyler Durdern and Ferris Bueller

'Hit Girl' is absolutely dangerously scary and hilarious.

I also like 'Bill Murray' when he plays 'Bill Murray' in "Zombieland". Gracious even in his death throes.

Sorry folks... but we have a tie for first.
Axel Foley
John McClane
Harry Callahan
Casey Ryback
Hannibal Lecter

This is just for starters... and the character has to have appeared at least twice to qualify IMO. This has eliminated Wade Garrett from Roadhouse.

I liked Michael Douglas' character in Wall Street = Gordon Gekko!


But the answer has to be Jules Winfield from Pulp Fiction :)
