[Munglai]

I'm enjoying trying to figure out these best of the decade lists

1. Shaun (of the dead)
2. Steve Zisou (Life Aquatic)
3. Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men)
4. Patrick Bateman (American Psycho)
5. Randy the Ram (The Wrestler)
6. Amelie
7. Ron Burgandy (Anchorman)
8. The Joker
9. Wall-E
10. Hans Landa (Inglourious Basterds)

I am partial to Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed.

oh yeah he was pretty great

[Topcatyo]

Hans Landa and Ron Burgundy are two for me, I'll need some time to think of other characters.
I am quite partial to McLovin from Superbad, but I'm not quite sure he's one of the "best".

I had Seth on my list for a while because he has such a great personality and loads of good lines but I'd have to put him at about 15 or 20. All the main characters in Superbad are pretty great to be honest.

1. Daniel Plainview - There Will Be Blood
2. Anton Chigurh - No Country For Old Men
3. Ron Burgundy - Anchorman
4. Randy the Ram Robinson - The Wrestler
5. Hans Landa - Inglourious Basterds
6. The Joker - The Dark Knight
7. Maximus - Gladiator
8. McLovin - Superbad
9. Borat - Borat
10. Gimli - Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Plainview ftw

[Biblo]

Yeah Plainview probably wins. Followed closely by Eli Sunday

I would also like to add:
Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney, Burn After Reading)
Captain Vidal (Sergi López, Pan's Labyrinth)
Simon Skinner (Timothy Dalton, Hot Fuzz)
Diane Selwyn (Naomi Watts, Mulholland Drive)
Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell, Moon)
Sy Parrish (Robin Williams, One Hour Photo)

[patriotclock]

I forgot Maximus from Gladiator oh no

4. Randy the Ram Robinson - The Wrestler
5. Hans Landa - Inglourious Basterds

Yeah I had the majority of these on my list before I chopped it down. It's tricky to make a top 10.

Hmm, if I had to choose a character from Born After Reading it'd probably be Pitt's character, although it'd be a very close tie between Harry and Chad.

Another one I'd have as a contender on that list is at least one of the characters from Snatch.
This will require a bit of thought...

Oh yeah I did consider Chad but just thinking about Harry's bullshit allergies and floor obsessions put him on my list

No particular order:
Brick Top - Snatch
Archie - Rock'N'Rolla
Hans Landa - Inglorious Bastards
Joker - Dark Knight
Rorschach - Watchmen
Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Caribbean
Agent Smith - The Matrix
Maximus - Gladiator
V - V for Vendetta
And Paul Rudd in 40 year old Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Role Models, I Love you Man, Anchorman etc.  Paul Rudd is always my favorite character.

Oh shit I forgot about Agent Smith. The Matrix doesn't even feel like it was this decade.

[TheClockNessMonster]

Allan Quartermain & Rodney Skinner (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)

[Biblo]

Oh shit I forgot about Agent Smith. The Matrix doesn't even feel like it was this decade.

The first (read: good) one  wasn't

Aha that's why then. The Matrix and Fight Club and American Beauty are all really hard to place. They feel almost like 00's movies and it's confusing.

Fuck I forgot Rorschach, but fuck it not revising the list again
