    I agree! It's so different from a Top 100 movies, but I'm not sure why.

    So glad you chose Marge Gunderson. If I was to make a list like this she'd be in my top 5

    Your list is awesome. I'd do my own, but it would have at least half of the people on yours, so I'm not sure people would care. My favorites from your list in no particular order:

    The Dude--should have been higher
    Travis Bickle--my same number one

    The Joker
    Frank T.J. Mackey
    Daniel Plainview/Bill the Butcher Cutting
    Jakes Gittes
    Jake LaMotta
    Indiana Jones
    Dirk Diggler

    Fine list. Very fine job. Can't say I'd change much knowing what I "know about" characters. They "ought" to be a little bit quirky and flamboyant, I feel.

    P. S. P. T. Anderson sure writes some great characters.

    5. Frank TJ Mackey (Tom Cruise)



    4. Randle Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson)



    3. Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant)

    You don't understand how tempted I am to put Raylan Givens at number 1. It just wouldn't be fair, Justified is only one season deep - but I have watched it over and over again already. I absolutely loved the show, I should also have the character Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), but I can get my Justified fix on the list by just adding Timothy Olyphant's excellently acted Raylan Givens here at number 3.


    2. Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis)



    1. Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro)






    The end.

    9. Larry David (Himself)

    God, what can I say about Curb Your Enthusiasm? This is the perfect sitcom, and Larry David is a comedic genius. Mr. David admits that not every great actor can be given an idea and asked to improvise a situation in front of the camera, but CYE and Larry gather the best of them and execute it flawlessly!

    "Pretty. Prettttyyy...Pretty Prettty Good"

    "There's no way I'm goin' down. I don't go down for nobody."

    7. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford)



    "You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together, I've got nothing better to do."



    6.John Malkovich (Himself)



    "This portal is mine and must be sealed up forever. For the love of God."

    I really enjoy Daniel Craig as James Bond, too!

    Thanks everyone, I look forward to others making a characters list as well - this is fun
