Geez Kye everything was going along Swimmingly with a recurring theme and you go and change it with a wholesome character !

A serious stick to the topic thread is not allowed on this forum

lol
1000's with concession if there ever was one.

And yeah most of the above are/were very wholesome dudes, just misrepresented.

Superman for me, except for the time he turned bad in Superman 3

John Holmes

Peter North

You've started it now Crow.

Linda Lovelace

Let's Elope ( Back to the Future )

Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason, in The Hustler)

The PIG - Babe

Santiago  ( Spencer Tracey) - The Old Man and the Sea. Santiago, has gone 84 days without catching a fish. Santiago is considered "salao", the worst form of unlucky but then he lands the biggest Marlin ever caught.

Tony Montana

Officer Jimmy Malone - The Untouchables (Sean Connery) Unforgettable character with all the great lines.

no respect
wonby10 - wonby10 The Betfair Forum Movie 2008 - for changing of the Melbourne Cup to a Saturday for racehores (sic)

Your comment not exactly going to be a life changing moment for me Secong, in fact care factor zero. But something that has been playing on your mind  for five years on what I've said in 2008 about the Melbourne Cup may mean you need to get a life or perhaps seek some professional help should it continue to bother you. Good luck with it.

Michael Sullivan - Tom Hanks, Road to Perdition.

The single most under rated movie that was ever made, with possibly the greatest cinematography in the history of motion picture. Brilliant actor Hanks, you would question him being cast as a gangster, but he pulls it off effortlessly. This character is exceptional.

Homer Simpson ( a God )

Johnny Strabler(Marlon Brando)in The Wild One.
"What are you rebelling against, Johnny?"
"Whaddaya got?"

Characters from movies you respect, that's an interesting concept wonby10.

I'm with on Harry Calahan, Rick Blaine and Paul Kelsey from your list, but the Corleone's and Danny Ocean (despite all being great characters) are just too self serving to gain respect.  I'm not familiar enough with the others on your list to comment.

Here are some more for consideration, in no particular order.

Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver, Alien franchise)

Capt. Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen, Apocolypse Now)

Sgt. Elias (Willem Dafoe, Platoon)

Carl Fox (Martin Sheen, Wall Street)

'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman, The Shawshank Redemption)

Henry Brubaker (Robert Redford, Brubaker)

Robert Shaw - Quint - Jaws
Roy Scheider Amity Police Chief Martin Brodie - Jaws

Two classic characters both with great lines.

sorry wonby i forgot jokes dont get a run with you....ffs
it was so long i hadnt seen your name that instantly made me think of the cup, sorry for having a memory
how is tending to writer nowadays?
shame his printing press broke down laying all them winners

Francis the Talking Mule (as himself, Francis Goes To The Races)

an object lesson to all punters in how to pick winners.

Can't believe we all over looked this up until now, almost a criminal omission.


Jay Trotter - Richard Dreyfuss - Let It Ride

One of the finniest movies of all time

funniest movies of all time
