A New Top 25

     Here is a new movie list for y'all. This time, it is my TOP 25 MOVIE CHARACTERS of all time. Once again, these are not necessarily the best, they are my personal favorites. I haven't seen a lot of pre 1975 movies, so give me a break on that. Plus, it was VERY hard to narrow this list down to only 25. I had to weed out great characters such as Dr. Evil, Frank Drebin, and Jack Torrence just to name only a few. One last thing, I did not include characters that were actual people; like Hunter S. Thompson, Ghandi, Doc Holliday or Andy Kauffman and the like. This is my list, let me know what you think...click on the comment link at the bottom of the post to leave your ideas. Here it is:

25) The Old Man (A Christmas Story)
24) Ricky Slade (Made)
23) Penny Lane (Almost Famous)
22) Raymond Babbit (Rain Man)
21) Bill Lumberg (Office Space)
20) Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee (Crocodile Dundee)
19) Chet Donnelly (Weird Science)
18) Man with no name (man with no name trilogy - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
17) Dr. Hannibal Lector (Silence of the Lambs)
16) Bernie Lomax (Weekend at Bernie's)
15) Inspector Cluseau (Pink Panther series)
14) Joker (Batman)
13) Jack Butler (Mr. Mom)
12) Otto (A Fish Called Wanda)
11) Han & Chewie (Star Wars Trilogy) - Sorry, come as a package to fit them both on the list
10) Lloyd Christmas (Dumb & Dumber)
9) Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump)
8) Ferris Bueller (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
7) Jerry Lundegaard (Fargo)
6) Edward Rooney (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
5) The Dude aka Jeffrey Lebowski (The Big Lebowski)
4) Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory)
3) Darth Vader (Star Wars Trilogy)
2) Clark W. Griswold (National Lampoon's Vacation series)
