John McClane (Die Hard movies).
Han Solo (Star Wars movies).
Spider-Man (Spider-Man movies).
Just about any character that's played by a former comedian.

RDJ in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang of course

The incomparable Bill Murray in anything but especially as Peter Venkman.

"You Hugh Davis' kid?"

"Yeah."

"How is he?"

"He's f**king great, as a matter of fact he's been asking after you."

Buddy Love (either the Jerry Lewis or Eddie Murphy version, but as I said; any character played by a former comedian!)

Spacey in American Beauty

Oscar Levant is an excellent choice!

Speaking of the 1940s... Eve Arden was one of the most delightful gals to uttersnarky humorous one-liners in cinema. I'm partial to her work in Anatomy of aMurder, but she really shined in '40s comedies.

Robert Benchley --of Algonquin Round Table fame-- wasn't too shabby either..

Eve Arden (1908-1990)

By the way, AMHmovie, excellent subject! :cool:

One of the all around great comedies that never grows old with age.

Can't leave Bruce Campbell outa this discussion - just watched Army Of Darkness for the Eleventeenth time and, well, Damn...

"...and Jack left town..."...

My main character in Death at 6:17. It's amazing the hot chick dated a character identical to her character's brother.

The one and only Sergeant Gunny Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.

Re: Sarcastic movie characters
 

Has anyone remember Jack Sparrow from The Pirates of Caribbean? I think its the most sarcastic character ever in Hollywood flicks.

Re: Sarcastic movie characters
 

How could we neglect to mention Jack Nicholson? - in almost any role but 2 favorites of mine are:

from:As Good as it Gets- The noodle salad philosophy of life speech

from: Five Easy Pieces:
I want you to hold it between your knees LMAO

Re: Sarcastic movie characters
 

Oops, I see Jack in 'good ' was mentioned in the very first post. But I still think the chicken salad san was the best classic sarcastic line and scene and character in filmdom.

Re: Sarcastic movie characters
 

Can't believe it took this long for someone to mention Eve Arden...and how od you mention Arden without mentioning Thelma Ritter?
