Re: Lou's 50 Favorite Characters
 

Even though Forrest Gump wasn't one of my favorite movies, I loved Gary Sinse as Lt. Dan.

Thanks Juno.....I just started remembering characters and scribbling them down on paper. Hopefully it turns out pretty decent.

Re: Lou's 50 Favorite Characters
 

Another + rep for a character I really liked portrayed by Tom Hanks(Chuck Noland in Cast Away). I didn't like the ending of the movie much though.

20. (Larry Flynt) The People vs. Larry Flynt

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...mTTvtA1V_hDz4=

19. (Forrest Gump) Forrest Gump

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...p6beIrjxeRWqY=

18. (Sky Masterson) Guys and Dolls

17. (Karl Childers) Sling Blade

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...2Wp74-YUZ_Teo=

16. (Joker) The Dark Knight

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...rsmTmeP6v4JG4=

Yeah, ending to Cast Away was a bit of a downer. But Chuck gives us a great example of the attitude that is neccessary for the tough times of life. Just gotta keep breathing...."who knows what the tide could bring".

15. (Ron Kovic) Born on the Fourth of July

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...U1gCYpiaBsilE=

14. (Ratso) Midnight Cowboy

Re: Lou's 50 Favorite Characters
 

Kilgore!!!

One of the best characters in Apocalypse Now.. makes you wish he had a bigger part in the movie.

Yeah, I would definitely prefer more screen time for Kilgore. It so great how every one hits the deck when the mortars fly in and he just stands around talking as if nothing is happening.
