Sorry if this has been covered before, but advanced search didn't help me find such a thread.
Also sorry for such a silly topic. Anyway.
Who's your favourite movie/series character, and why?
My choice is: Lieutenant Columbo. Because he is — Columbo, you know.

Eric Cartman. Because he is — Cartman, you know.

Hellboy. Because he is — Hellboy, you know.

Beatrix Kiddo - She's my hero because nothing keeps her down.

Gadzooks Kira, that actress doesn't even look old enough to vote. Did she get her mom's permission to be totin' that heater on the set?

Here's one

Ellen Ripley, (the first that came to mind) for the same reasons that Kira said!

Eden.

Indiana Jones - Because he's Indy.

That's Uma Thurman, Jim. Despite the Hollywood make-up I'm sure she's old enough to, um, vote...

OK, now you've done it, Sheena. We're gonna have to have a Kill Bill fest here tonight and warm up this rainy evening.

Robert Donat: "Good-Bye, Mr. Chips". From the book by James Hilton, who also wrote, "Lost Horizon".

Simply the best film and actor from an era when we had time to count our blessings.

It's a cult classic, but I loved Martin Short in 1994's Clifford

You wouldn't lie to me, would you Uncle Martin? 'Cause if you did I'd be so angry I don't know what I'd do.

Kira: Kiddo is a longtime favorite character of mine. The first 'Kill Bill' film is a modern classic.

Paul: I love 'Lost Horizon'. Who can argue with a steamline moderne paradise in the middle of the Himalayas?

Favorites change from day-to-day. Here are three from different eras:

Space cowboy and likeable rogue, Han Solo:



Romain Duris as Xavier in 'L'Auberge Espagnole'/'Russian Dolls':



Gene Kelly as Jerry Mulligan in 'An American in Paris':

Who else?

Tie:


Blake (played by Alec Baldwin) - Glengarry Glen Ross




Thomas Crown (Thomas Crown Affair)





runner up agrees with George----nothing like Sean Connery Bond.

Richard E. Grant as Withnail:



Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach:
