Who Are Your Favorite Movie Characters ?
Not the actor, not the movie, but the character in the movie. Characters in made for tv movies or miniseries can be included.
I think all of us have many favorite characters, but here are a few of mine.
Frank Bullitt in Bullitt (Steve McQueen)
Sully in Nobody's Fool (Paul Newman)
Rooster Cogburn in True Grit (John Wayne)
Viola deLesseps in Shakespeare In Love (Gywneth Paltrow)
Annie in Speed (Sandra Bullock)
Michael in The Deerhunter (Robert DeNiro)
Yvonne Biasi in It Could Happen To You (Bridget Fonda)

Walt kowalski
Good one.
One of mine, too
That's EXACTLY who I was thinking of for mine!!!
Charles Bronson (Paul Kersey) Death Wish

It is a tough one. There are quite a few I liked.
I'll narrow it down to these two:
Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle in "American Sniper"
or
James Woods as Roy Cohn in "Citizen Cohn"
Jack Ryan ..... numerous actors, numerous movies but Alec Baldwin in the Hunt for the Red October was up there .....
Bill and Ted.
"Excellent!"
Mr. Hobbs - quiet, patient, very patient, very very patient, and in the end surgically ruthless. The poster boy for "revenge is a dish best served cold."
And all for love.
I may watch it again tonight.
