Most Memorable Character(s)?(Good Or Bad)

There are a couple of people I want to use it with, but none as yet.

by all means put me on ignore, Scarlette O'Hara is more memorable because shes the most interesting dephted character and she also gets out to the book crowd too. And all children grow up and the ones that have seen the Wizard of Oz will most likely see parts of or all of GWTW and if not will certainly know who the character is though

I don't know who is the most memorable Vid, it is subjective. Just because you feel that you are right about it, doesn't necessitate it as fact. As far as Scarlette O'Hara being known because she is a household name, doesn't mean she is the most memorable in the truest form of its meaning. Hearing of and remembering a character are seperate things compared to a character being memorable. I've heard of, and remember Howard the Duck, does that make him memorable? Not in my opinion, I usually don't want to think about him, but Indiana Jones? Hell yes! He's memorable. We all love that character, and might recall him favorably. Maybe it's just me that see's it that way, but my kids love Dorothy. If they've heard of Scarlette, she isn't memorable to them. Not like Dorothy.

As far as putting you on my ignore list...I know you could give a rat's behind whether I do or not. It would be nice if your attitude changed so maybe the people here could enjoy your opinions and desire dialogue with you. It seems that a lot of times I wind up cringing when I see your posts, and that's not fun at all. This forum has been known to have people that can debate and even argue without lashing out. I'm really not saying I'm perfect, because I've been pissed before and attacked someone here, but I've learned that it's more enjoyable by giving some respect. Obviously your an intelligent person, just try to be civilized as well.

And understandy the wonderful world of subjectivity.

Was that last one for real, or were you just getting the ultimate kick out of adding a monkey?

Correct me if im wrong, but does the title still say "Most Memorable Character(s)?(Good Or Bad)"?
Fact or not, who really cares about Scarlett O Hara? i sure as hell dont,gimme Micahel Corleone any day but thats me, i respect the fact that you like this character,thats great,grand,wonderful, let me buy you a beer, but i wasnt asking for THE most memorable character.these are opinionated threads here, lets not tell each other who the most memorable character is, but lets say who YOUR most memorable character is.everyone is entitled to their say, so go ahead and say it. LordSlayton is right, no need to lash out

Bill pullman isn't memorable in lost highway, he's only in a small part of the movie and he's hardly a character but more of a guy that just walks around, he has no defining scenes on screen in that movie, if anyone is memorable in that movie its the mystery man with the video camera.

I thought that choice might stir up something. Yes when YOU watch the movie he probably is the most memorable. You're not wrong at all. I see Bill as being the most memorable because he is the main character, even though he is two people. You see him at the beginning (if it is the beginning - different thread) and at the end.

Ok my list, now, no one has to agree with me, although some people have already listed a few i like so I will put a few they haven't mentioned.

I'm so glad you mentioned him! When discussing Dr. Strangelove, his name almost never comes up as a classic character. Sure, people love talking about George C. Scott and Peter Sellers, but they leave my man Sterling to die. I don't know why this is..to me he has always been one of the most memorable characters ever (much less villains).

Oh and last but not least

Scarlet O' Hara - Definitely the best Star Trek Captain yet!! The fact that she was in the olympics also puts her over the top for me.

I can't believe nobody has said one of the best comedic performances of all time (okay, maybe in my opinion)...

Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray)

A couple others on nobody's list.....

Phil Connors (Bill Murray - Groundhog's Day)
Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine - Muppet's Christmas Carol - amazingly the best Rendition of Dickens' work I've ever seen, and you try acting along side Muppets!!!!)
the Devil (Al Pacino - Devi's Advocate)
Pres. Andy Shepherd (Michael Douglas - American President)
Louis Rothschild (Michael J Fox - American President)

Oh, and to help settle an argument, I am 23 and have never seen Gone with the Wind but have seen The Wizard of Oz.
