The Last Boy Scout is my favourite!

I'm rather a fan of his archetype roles. It means, John McClane followed by Joe Hallenbeck followed by Korben Dallas.

Performance? Dunn! Hands down.
McClane is a very close second, though.

Top 5 for me:

1. John McClane in Die Hard
2. Butch Coolidge in Pulp Fiction
3. Dr. Crowe in The Sixth Sense
4. David Dunn in Unbreakable
5. Old Joe in Looper

Even if I don't like the movie he's in Bruce Willis is still pretty good in it. Hard to choose, so many classics up there.

John McClane ('Die Hard') all the way!

Butch Coolidge in Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino, like Martin Scorsese, brings out the best (and good to excellent) performances from actors and actresses, regardless of how good or not so good (or even bad) they are otherwise.

John McClane

Dr Lenera · 04-24-2018, 06:11 PM

12 Monkeys for me, despite being a big fan of the first three Die Hard movies [not so hot on the last two though they're okay].

The best movies he's starred in are Pulp Fiction, Die Hard and Sixth Sense but the only one that just wouldn't be the same with any other actor is Die Hard so I went with that. Bruce Willis IS John McClane.

I know I'll most likely get sh*t for saying this, but, personally, I think Mel Gibson would've played John McClane in Die Hard better than Bruce Willis (who also played it well). But Bruce Willis would've blew as Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon.
