Iconic movie characters

Post by papahet252003 »

Hi all,

i have an idea to start another topic, this time it`s - as the topic title sayes - about your favourite movie characters. I`m a big movie fan myself and i have at least 30 favourites, but it`d be interesting to see yours. So, i start with this fella: Begbie from Trainspotting!

This is one of my favourite movie characters:

Edward Norton as skinhead Derek Vineyard in American History X

See pic:

Because of the way how he plays his role, so convincing

Not convincing in the way that one should be a racist or should use violence against minorities but where those 2 can lead to.

Edward Norton is my all time favourite actor.

Watch him in Fight club, another great movie and another great role of Norton.

Fight club is a true masterpiece by David Fincher and yes, Norton is out of this planet! I like the way he truly falls appart in this role.

For me one of them is:

1991-1992-1993
Touring for two years was more than my body could take.
You're there and your head tells you that you have to go on,
but your body is close to giving out. Five to six days a week,
i was on stage for about two and a half hours every night.
Doing that for over two years, my larynx didn't feel great,
it felt like my vocal cords were just falling apart

Dude by Jeff Bridges from The Big Lebowski!

By the way, Edward Northon is my favorite actor: 25th hour, Primal Fear, American Story X. He was great in all his films. 25th hour is actually my fav.movie, very underrated.

Another one of my all-time favourites. Till 1995 Brad Pitt was just the pretty guy, but than he played 2 roles which changed it IMO: the first role was in Twelve Monkeys and the one - Dt. Mills in SE7EN. He is just brillant in this movie, the total opposite of his investigating partner - Dt. Somerset, Pitt plays the overmotivated Mills, who tryes to catch the unknown clever serial killer, till the shocking twist after 110 minutes:
