top-list Top ten Characters of all time

No order, just all goodness.

1. Captain Jack Sparrow
2. Ash from "Medieval Dead" (aka- the original title for Army of Darkness). I mean all the ED movies, BTW.
3. Peter Fonda's character in Easy Rider
4. Inspector Clousseau (Sellers)
5. The Terminator (Arnie)
6. Dr. Frankenfurter (tim curry, in rocky horror) (Brad coming in second for the wonderufl cheese factor)
7. Jay and Silent Bob
8. Rainman (Hoffman)
9. Whoever played Sean connery on SNL Jepordy. That's just plain funny.
10. And I'd like to end with a Shakespearian character, but had some trouble figuring out which one to pick. Hamlet's my personal favorite, but Macbeth is another good one. Then there's the drunken porter in Macbeth. Falstaff, Polonius, Titus (that psycho), Puck and Bottom, Prospero... so many good characters. I'd stick with Hamlet though- he thinks himself into his own death, but he keeps a dry wit about him until the bitter end. Love it.
 
Couldn't narrow it down:

Darth Vader
Indiana Jones
Charles Foster Kane
James Bond
Hannibal Lecter
Captain Bligh
Yoda
Travis Bickle
The Terminator
T.E. Lawrence
The Wicked Witch of the West
Han Solo
The Little Tramp
Rocky Balboa
E.T.
Scarlett O'hara
Norman Bates
Eve Harrington
Forrest Gump
Annie Hall
Michael Corleone
Antonio Salieri
Raymond Babbet
Amon Goeth
Norma Desmond
Dr. Strangelove
Mary Poppins
HAL-9000
Luke Skywalker
 
It is difficult to choose only 10 from millions of characters,
i won't make a top ten list, but here are my favourit characters:

Michael Myers
Freddy Krueger
Jason Voorheese
Predator
Terminator
Darth Vader
Darth Sidious
Frank Drebbin, Leslie Nielsen Characters!!! all great!

T-Rex (from Jurrassic Park)
Bad Boys (the new films with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith)
Topper Harley (Hot Shots)
Ash (Evil Dead films)
a.m.m.


that are only some of many great characters...
 
Bob (Reflections of Evil)
Montag (The Wizard of Gore)
Coffin Joe
Bud (Repo Man)
Quatermass
Santo
Ming, the Merciless
