Who is the best movie character?

[number11]

Seems like I was not the only one watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade yesterday (so who was watching Brokeback Mountain then.....).

During the film I stated to the missus that Indy is probably the coolest movie role and if I could actually be any film character it would be him. Other contenders.....well, Luke Skywalker is whiny, Han Solo is similar character but without the brains, Bond is a good shout but relies on gadgets, the superheroes (superman, spiderman etc) are generally wimps in their every day persona (Batman / Bruce Wayne would be a good shout).....

So, if you be any film role, who would it be??

Sam Spade.

Bill Murray's character (Peter?) in Ghostbusters was ace.

I'd still put Han Solo just ahead of Indiana Jones even though, as number 11 says, Indy has the brains. Indy also shagged about a bit more, but Han has the Millennium Falcon.

also Indys best friend was a young Chinese boy... whereas Han Solos best friend was a Wookie!

Wilson from Castaway. I thought the Ball was incredibly unlucky not to pick up an Oscar for the Best Supporting Actor in a film.

agreed... I bet Tom Hanks wasn't happy to be out-acted by a piece of sports equipment!

Though the young Chinese boy was also friends with the Goonies....:)

that is true... but if a Professor in England went out with a woman called "Willie" and was best friends with a pre-pubescent Chinese boy then his address would be on the front of the NOTW!

I hear Hugh Grant draws all his inspiration from that performance.

I did a half chuckle half groan when I read it :thump:

No. He was the detective in the Malteste Falcon, played, inter alia by Bogart.

Bond for his record with women.

Rambo. John J.

Not strictly a film, but Henno Garvie. ;)

I would like to be somebody cool but would probably end up as Uncle Buck.

Not really a revolutionary character but I loved the main character in Goodfellas.
