Same way we did the best film ever polls way back when. Slowly but surely we'll narrow this huge list down. I will tally the results and start round two in three days time. Just pick one or the other. That simple. There are some pointless ones in there [the two Quentin Tarantino played characters] but what are you gonna do?

Ratso Rizzo VS. William Munny
The Man With No Name VS. Tucco
Noah Cross VS. T.E. Lawrence
Charles Foster Kane VS. Marshal Will Kane
Michael Corleone VS. Vito Corleone

Nyeh. Screw them. They don't need to answer the ones they don't know. Those characters will eventually get kicked out anyway [though in some cases that sure is a shame]...
