So far an excellent list, including Goldfinger, Denzel's character in Training Day, Tom Hanks in Philadelphia (Oh no! I have AIDS) and Verbal Kint.
Watch it.

... I forgot this shit was on... I just caught the Joker....
Looks like they have a top 50 of each category, hereos and villains, and they just alternate back and forth counting each one down. I can't find a complete list anywhere.
Yes.
Charlie Chaplin - The Kid
Damn I totally forgot about this.
Nicholson's Joker is a no brainer, that should be top 20.
I'd really need to think on this one though.

Christian Bale in American Psycho
Bale gets no love. He wasn't even nominated for an Oscar the year he should have won in a landslide.
very underrated movie and performance, the book is better but still a fine flick nonetheless
Antonio Salieri - Amadeus
nice choice, gonzy.
No way. American Psycho the movie is way better than American Psycho the book.
I agree that normally book > movie, but the movie in this case is way better. The book just seemed to beat you over the head with gore trying to be overhanded, the movie was a lot more subtle and Bale did better than my imaginary Bateman ever could have.
what about Harvey Korman as Hedley Lamar in Blazing Saddles?
no respect
Quote:Antonio Salieri - Amadeus
nice choice, gonzy.
One of the most amazing scenes in movie history, when salieri describes how he has finally come to the realization he wants to kill Mozart. After the Don Giovani scene "god powerless to stop it, I for once in the end laughing at him".
Another great villian that pops into mind
Mr. Blonde - Resevoir Dogs
and I am sorry but Nicholson doesn't make it for any of atleast 20 movies, namely Cuckoos Nest but fuckin Erin Brokovitch?
Quote:very underrated movie and performance, the book is better but still a fine flick nonetheless
they both sucked and i will bet $20 neither keyser nor galt know what the book is really about.
what are you talking about? Are you saying that I didnt' read American Psycho? Had my roommate not stolen the book and moved to Jersey, I could read you passages from the book.
reading it is not the same as understanding it. you probably thought it was a book about a psycho killer.
