good list..a blend of everything..
pretty impressed at the inclusion of fred C.dobbs at#2..excellent characterisation here.. how he slowly loses himself in the greed for gold and transforms from good to bad to ugly was beautiful..his character along with excellent direction of john huston were the major factors in making this film an all time classic..
my other favrts:
Vito Corleone from The Godfather
Margo Channing from All About Eve
Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs
Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver
Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard
Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange
missing from the list:
jake la motta from ragingbull
Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade from scent of a woman
henry fonda from 12 angry men
Melvin Udall from as good as it gets(good one chalam..bhale untundhi character..a little out of the way ..yet so close to reality..some people weave a web around them and could never come out of it and live in their own world..least bothered about any change or the outside world..this film stands for that newly coined word IDIOSYNCRASY)..

Peter sellers did a great job in Dr. strangelove. But George scott stole the show.

Hmmm..We Were Soldiers is a great mention here...a solid movie no doubt about that. Mel Gibson excelled in the role of a leader who goes flat out to protect his people...this movie has a great soundtrack with songs emphasising the virtues of a leader.
"THE FIRST ONE IN....
THE LAST ONE GONE
I WILL BE THE ROCK FOR YOU TO HOLD UPON
I WILL LIFT YOU UP WHEN UR SPIRITS ARE DOWN"
great song and a real great movie!

Regarding Iraq, there are a few passable films made on the war wages by Sr,Bush. But it takes a director with enormous passion to make such movies, RIdley Scott, Cameroon, Mel Gibson or one of the Jew Stevens(Speilberg or Sodenberg) |

Excellent words from the great Brando. The expressions on his face whn he is talking to Sheen and his expression when he goes to the boat to kill the informer...priceless.
Platoon is good and if I remember good, it got an academy award.
The Thin Red line was not that good, Rules of Engagement was also OK for the drama.
The list that Jam Mama has provided is also really good and comprehesive. It has equal weigtage drama,action,comedy etc.
That is way they say that in Hollywood, it is very hard to say which "actor" is better than the other, it is always correct to compare the "roles".
More later....

I guess this is the same situation in Iraq. I wonder how hollywood make most this war like it did on world war and vietnam war.
It would be intersting to see if some good director takes up the project and make an unbiased film on the iraq war. |

Spitfire mama.
I agree with you on Mel gibsons "We were soldiers". Since i have mentioned the climax dialogues Between Brando and Sheen , I am pasting brando's dialogues here for clarity
Kurtz:
I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary, to those who do not know what horror means. Horror! Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.
I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God… the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men… trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love… but they had the strength… the strength… to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling… without passion… without judgment… without judgment. Because it’s judgment that defeats us.
Awesome..isn it.
I have seen the movies except Ridley scotts Black hwak down. I will watch it surely.
On vietnam war , apocalypso now tops my list and after that "Platoon" is the next best one. I somehow didnt liked "The thin red line".

Hustler Mama:
Excuse me for my unformed words and spelling mistakes in the previous post. Yes, you are right about the cast and the story.
But, I think "We were Soldiers" was as near as a person can be to war while watching a movie in my opinion. The movie was average but the taking was good.
Ofocurse Enemy at the Gates, Saving Ryan and Ridley Scott's epic "Black Hawk Down".
Longest Day, and All Quiet on the Western Front are honorable mentions.
But the most gripping movie with excellent screenplay is Tora Tora Tora. Please see this if you haven't yet .. But the movie fan you are I doubt if you have not.

Spitfire mama.
Yes I did. It was probably one of the star studded movie in hollywood with Marlon brando, robert duvall, martin sheen. lawrence fishburne and Harrison ford.
One of the best climaxes I ever seen in my enitre movie life. Especially the dialogues by brando to sheen on Horror were just great.
I feel the war scenes in this movie were shot better than in the movie "Saving private ryan". |

Hustler Mama:
Exceleent movie. No doubt, Did you ntice that Lawrence Fishburne is an yound kid in the movie.
Anyways, Brando immortalized the role of the Colonel. it you also see the laternative ending.
And ofcourse the new movie that is out "Apolycalyse REDUX".

Col.Walter Krutz character from the movie apocalypso now should have been there. That role soo splendidly played by Marlon Brando. Robert duvall character was ok but somehow it doesnt beat that of marlon brando's.
One of my favorite movie. |

A leading filmi magazine published an article that traced the 100 great screen characters of all time! While the Godfather Vito Corleone tops the table, the list also encompasses characters from several major blockbusters from time to time like Casablanca, Rocky, Terminator, Forrestgump, One Flew Over Cuckoo's nest, Dr.No, Gone With the Wind! The article also published the defining moments from the films, which probaly enabled the characters to feature in the list! An entertaining read I must say!
