I honestly went on YouTube this morning before even reading this and watched the drug scene from Boogie Nights where "Sister Christian" is blaring. One of my top five favorite movies ever.
- Walter Sobchak (The Big Lebowski) - number 1 with a bullet.
- Batman (Bale edition) - just because using Batman voice for everything is fun. Literally no other reason.
- Forrest "Forrest" Gump - quotable and memorable, even if the movie doesn't really hold up.
- William Cutting (Gangs of New York) - "I die a true American."
- Han Solo
Like the characters in those movies. More Gene Hackman, Harrison Ford fan for favorites.
This is way too difficult for me. Some off the top of my head.
Bodhi- Point Break
Mickey O'Neil- Snatch
Bill the Butcher- Gangs of New York
Tyler Durden- Fight Club
(T) Alfred Borden- The Prestige, Nathan Algren- The Last Samurai
Honorable mention:
Dirk Diggler- Boogie Nights
Doc Holiday- Tombstone
Russell- Almost Famous
Joker- Nolan's Batman

I know a lot of folks love Anton Chigurh. @DaBossIsBack included him as well. I just didn't get the appeal. I didn't see him as any different than a killer in a slasher flick like he was Michael Myers or something.
[laughing] at the Buford T. Justice pick. Well done.
Little Big Man (Dustin Hoffman)
The Man with No Name
Harry Callahan
Cool Hand Luke
Jack Torrance (Nicholson in The Shining)

Tuco Benedito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (The Good, the Bad & the Ugly)
Jack Burton (Big Trouble in Little China)
O-Dog (Menace II Society)
Cheyenne (Once Upon a Time in the West)

Some more:
Major Smith Where Eagles Dare
Colonel Kurtz and
Photo journalist Apocalypse Now
Shooter Hoosiers
Bill Cox and Scooter from Sling Blade are the most realistic characters ever...if not for Doyle Hargraves.
GUNNERY SERGEANT HARTMAN

These two almost made my list. Love both of them. Heat is in my top 5 of all-time.
As posted earlier, it's HARD to see a character in a book you've read perfectly executed on the screen. Javier Bardem did just that with Anton Chigurh.
