Classic characters in movies

[zipper]

A buddy & I were discussing this today. You know,parts in movies that you couldn't imagine being played by anyone else. My all-time favorite might be Ted Knight as Judge Schmales in "Caddyshack". We also had to give kudos to Jackie Gleason in "Smokey & the Bandit".Got any favorites? Seems I can always name a dozen until I really want to,then the mind goes blank.

 

[nm2285]

Might be a kids movie, but I've always found his performance in it priceless-Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka

 

[zipper]

How about Dudley Moore in "Arthur"? ( Where's the rest of this moose?)

 

[hopjohn]

Marlon Brando as Godfather
Clint Eastwood as Dity Harry
George C. Scott as Patton
Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins
Peter Sellers as Inspector Clusoe
Christopher Reeves as Superman
Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell (Basic Instinct)

 

[zipper]

Good ones,especially Sellers & Reeves. How about Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" or Nicholas Cage in "Leaving Las Vegas".

 

[Audioholics]

Not my favorite, but Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter.

Unforgetable Character

Don't forget Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke" and of course
Struther Martin in the same film "What We Have Here is Failure to Communicate".

 

[Rob Babcock]

Claud Raines as Inspector Renault (Casablanca)
Bill Paxton as Hicks (Aliens)
Patrick Stewart as Piccard (all the series & movies)
John Cusack as Rob Gordon (High Fidelity)
Jack Black (can't recall his name right now, also High Fidelity)
Bruce Willis as McClain (Die Hard)

 

[Shinerman]

I always liked Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. He was real. He was cool, smart and messed up quite a bit. Just like me.

Shinerman, downing number 3 as we speak!

 

[zipper]

Newman was great in Cool Hand Luke. Which reminds me he was also great in "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid"(Who are those guys?).

Loved Paxton as Hicks.

Classic Characters in the movies

I always thought Thomas Banacek in Mystery movie series he shared with Columbo and Macmillan and Wife, he found the impossibe for a 10% finders fee. Some of those capers I would have never thought of, George Pepard was a classy/classic character for he used his last name except for the art dealer Felix who called him Thomas. My favorite "$500,000 a Page" with Stella Stevens in her prime also. I have all of his episodes on VHS tapes when we were allowed, to copy movies of our paid for monthly cable bill.
