Your Favourite Movie Characters

Post by GLCQuantum »

There's loads of stuff about favourite films knocking about. Who are your favourite characters from the films you've watched?

My number one will always be 'Lee Loo' played by the fine Milla Jovovich in, 'The Fifth Element'. When I watched this movie I had my first real super star crush. Mesmerising at the time. :mrgreen:



Number 2 and 3 are probably from the same movie franchise. 'Bane' played by Tom Hardy in the Batman movie. Thought he was excellent as was the late Heath Ledger playing 'Joker'.

Character rather than actor I think was GLC's question, but going for the latter it would be Morgan Freeman for me - absolutely superb.

Here's a list of top 100 characters from someone else. Surprised that I knew all but a couple of them. Includes a little fascinating fact about each one (I had know idea Mel Gibson was originally cast for Maximus in Gladiator... dodged a bullet there!).

No place for my 'Lee Loo' on the list. I tell you, I'd marry her in a heartbeat. Not Milla Jovovic, no.... Lee Loo. :laugh:
