Re: Favourite Characters

Roads Less Traveled:
1. Robert Preston as the Music Man: maybe the most underrated performance ever
2. Catherine Keener as Harper Lee in "Capote": not a big role, but a great one
3. W.C. Fields as Cuthbert J. Twillie in "My Little Chickadee": comic genius
4. Nick Nolte as Tom Wingo in "Prince of Tides": his best performance in a movie that had its problems
5. Mary Steenburgen as Sister Ida in "The Grass Harp": stole the show from a cast of greats
6. Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salandar in the "Dragon" trilogy: the queen of movie detective fiction
7. Fred Willard as Ron Albertson in "Waiting for Guffman": the dinner was the winner
8. Burt Lancaster as Lou in "Atlantic City": great performance in a fine movie that has been lost in time

Big Time, Deservedly:
1. Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos in "Monster": Best Actress Oscar, Best Performance Ever?
2. Spencer Tracy as Henry Drummond (Clarence Darrow) in "Inherit the Wind": gets your blood boiling
3. Peter Sellers as several people in "Dr. Strangelove": sneakiest, most subversive movie of all time
4. Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird": a lesson on man's best possibilities
5. Uma Thurman as The Bride in the "Kill Bill" series: could anyone else have played that role?
6. John Belushi as Joliet Jake Blues in "The Blues Brothers": he's dead, and I'm still laughing
7. Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins: almost perfect in every way
8. Humphrey Bogart as Charlie Allnut in "The African Queen": well, I had to pick one his roles
