32. (Sean Maguire) Good Will Hunting



31. (Sheriff Buford T. Justice) Smokey and the Bandit

I really like your list so far. Bender and Ferris Bueller are two classic characters.

30. (Euliss "Sonny" Dewey) The Apostle



29. (Drexl Spivey) True Romance



28. (Lt. Dan Taylor) Forrest Gump



27. (Raoul Duke) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas



26. (Dr. Evil) Austin Powers

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.

There are always some you will kick yourself when you realize you missed them, but you have some great ones on your list so far.

25. (Annie Wilkes) Misery



24. (Oliver Rose) The War of the Roses



23. (Chuck Noland) Cast Away



22. (Maximus) Gladiator




21. (James "Jimmy" Conway) Goodfellas

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



19. (Forrest Gump) Forrest Gump



18. (Sky Masterson) Guys and Dolls



17. (Karl Childers) Sling Blade



16. (Joker) The Dark Knight

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



14. (Ratso) Midnight Cowboy



13. (Ricky Roma) Glengarry Glen Ross



12. (Jules Winnfield) Pulp Fiction



11. (Nicky Santoro) Casino

Awesome list, plenty of rep from me.

Looking forward to the top 10!

10. (Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore) Apocalypse Now



9. (Randle Patrick McMurphy) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest



8. (Luke) Cool Hand Luke



7. (Dr. Hannibal Lecter) The Silence of the Lambs



6. (Henry Gondorff) The Sting

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.
