Kurt Russel as R.J Macready in "The Thing". Love that character. ~BH

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Robert Mitchum as Max Cady...........spot on performance.

YouTube - ‪Cape Fear 1962 Trailer‬‏

That's a great role, no question. But I think Mitchum's best was Harry Powell in The Night Of The Hunter.

[Shooter]

Anything with Audrey Hepburn in it.

But my all-time favorite character in a film is Quint from Jaws. Classic. Should have won an Oscar.

[mudwhistle]

my favourite character is Jerry Maguire played by tom cruise.

It wasn't much of a stretch for Tom Cruise to play a neurotic.

I think the little squirt in Jerry Maquire was more engaging.

 

[IanC]

Scariest child movie monster of all time. Rhoda Pendragan just before she burns Leroy to death.

Just about everyone in the cast was nominated for a Oscar, or should have been.

YouTube - ‪RHODA PENMARK - The Bad Seed (1956)‬‏

great movie! but the ending in the book was much creepier---the mom tried murder suicide but the little girl survived, much better than the flimsy ending in the movie.

 

[IanC]

seeing as Dirty Harry has already been named..... how about Dr. Smith in Lost in Space?
