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

Hit girl would kick both of their asses

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.

Billy Chapel, For Love Of The Game

Roy MacAvoy, Tin Cup

Costner plays some of the best characters

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.

Several characters from Pulp Fiction could be considered.

Also:

Tyler Durden
Nigel Tufnel
James Bond

Walter from Big Lebowski.

Vito Corleone
Dr. Evil
Tony Montana
Rocky Balboa
Freddy Krueger

I have a top 5 (not sure of order though)

I have a top 5 (not sure of order though)

Jason Bourne
Roy Munson
Ernie McCracken
Ishmael

Top 5, in no order:

Michael Corleone


Maximun Decimus Meridius


Jason Bourne

George McFly

Banjamin Martin


Paul Maclean

William Wallace
John McLane
Brother Bluto
Carl Spackler
...and Nico Toscani

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


But the answer has to be Jules Winfield from Pulp Fiction

My favorite movie characters tend to be the main antagonist in most films. . . I don't know why, I just think the bad guys leave a much more lasting impression.
