Your top-10 movie characters of all-time...

[OG Pooh]

I know it's probably been done before, but rather than dig up an old thread, I figured why not start fresh.

Anyway, with all the movies out there over the years, I was wondering who/what some of your favorite characters are. Here's mine in no real order (feel free to number yours if you like)...

Richard "Rick" Blane (Casablanca)
Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Severus Snape (Harry Potter)
Dr. Evil (Austin Powers)
Amelie (Amelie)
Roy Batty (Blade Runner)
Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)
Capt. Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Del Griffith (Planes, Trains & Automobiles)
Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Of course I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Jack Burton
The Man With No Name
Alan "Dutch" Shaefer
John McClane
Inspector Jacques Clouseau
Ellen Ripley
Leon
H.I. McDunnough
The Dude
Ashley "Ash" Williams

for some reason all the names that come to mind are either badasses, funny, or both. they dont necassarily represent my favorite movies but just the characters that stand out in my memory.

[Secretagentnumber6]

John McClane
Gangster (from Gangster No. 1)
Tequila
Rick (Casablanca)
Keyser Soze
Wilson (The Limey)
Kowalski (Vanishing Point)
Ash Williams
The Dude
Quint (Jaws)
Roy Batty (Yeah it is 11 but I forgot Batty and cannot pick one to take off the list.)

I notice that half of my list are villains. If I were to go past 10, I'm sure the percentage of bad-guys to good-guys would rise.

[Marcus Wright]

Ripley (alien)
Mcclain (die hard)
Marcus Wright
Neo (matrix)
Morfeus (Matrix)
Doc (Back To Future)
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale - American Psycho)

And many more.
