What’s the most memorable film charcters you’ve seen in your time?
I’d say Robert De niro as Max Cady in Cape Fear, The guy who played the panicky cry baby in Aliens 2, Steve Martin as the two bit film producer in that film with Eddie Murphy (can’t think of the name right now), and for desi films, Amjad Khan in Sholay.
Any more come to mind?
There should be some females on this list somewhere, but blow me if I can think of any right now.
Oh yeah, the little kid who played the role of a robot in AI. That was really some performance for a youngster.
err...I'm not asking about best film actors, I'm asking about best film roles. So you need to pick a particular character which you think he played well in a particular film.
Another one which comes to mind is Billy Zane as his role as a nutter in Dead Calm.
You posed a very good question Mr Xtreme, and yet u come up with Steve Martin from Bowfinger as one of the most memorable characters u have seen in a movie!...its like saying a brit and nice teeth in the same breath!
well here are a few that I think are the most memorable
Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather
Robert De Niro as Michael in The Deer Hunter
Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver
Sean Connery as Jim Malone in The Untouchables
Joe Pesci as Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas
George C Scott as Gen. Patton in Patton
Harvey Keitel as Charlie in Mean Streets
Samuel L Jackson as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction
Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct
Marissa Tomei as Mona Lisa Vito in My Cousin Vinny
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Eric Bana as chopper read in ‘CHOPPER’.
Eli Wallach as Tuco in ‘The good, bad and the ugly’
there r many more, deniros n paccinos n gladiators n bravehearts and kevin spaceys etc etc.
but the first two kill em all.
Steve Martin is a genius and his role in Bowfinger was one the most memorable ever. Have you ever seen another film like that one or a more unique character? I doubt it. I agree about Joe Pesci in Goodfellas btw. I was thinking about that myself.
KAKA-ATOM-BUM
Eli Wallach as Tuco in ‘The good, bad and the ugly’
Steve Martin sure is a genius, but I would pick him for his character Vinnie in My Blue Heaven, or long nose Charlie Bates in Roxanne before Bowfinger even crosses my mind.
Fine I’ll give you Steve Martin, but Billy Zane in Dead Calm?!!! no comments!
