A brilliant movie, no doubt, and a fantastic character. However, Michael Douglas didn't have to stretch himself too much to play that part. That's my impression of how he behaves in real life. Kinda like Jack Nicholson in the Shining, or Courtney Love in that movie that she played a drug addict. That's not acting, that's just being yourself.
Or Jack Nicholson in any movie. But dayum..I love that character. Doesn't matter which movie he's in.
I like Samuel L. Jackson in any movie from XXX to Fresh to Pulp Fiction to School Daze to Goodfellas and so on and so on........ "Anything lost can be found again, except for time wasted." "Your queen is just a pawn with some fancy moves, nothing more. "

We actually agree on something. Top ten, top of my head: 1) Sam Spade in the Maltese Falcon 2) Harry Palmer in the Ipcress File 3) George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life 4) Either of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Stoppard's film. 5) Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything 6) Willy Clark in the Sunshine Boys 7) T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia 8) Dr. Strangelove in Dr. Strangelove ( Etc.) 9) Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird 10) Ghandi in Ghandi
Eargh! Or even Gandhi...the problem with hunting and pecking is that you're looking down at the keys, so you can get letter orsers mixed up and not even realize it.
I knew I never should have started this: Now others are popping up in my head... Patton, from Patton, Thomas Moore from A Man For All Seasons, Bud White from L.A. Confidential, J.J. Gittes from Chinatown, etc. etc.
Rick Deckard in Blade Runner. And several others, but I wanted to get this dude in. Ford's best role, in my opinion.
My four favorite characters come from the same movie..."The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh." #1 - Mona Mondieu...played by Stockard Channing #2 - REV. GRADY JACKSON...played by Meadowlark Lemmon #3 - MOSES GUTHRIE...played by Julius Erving #4 - SETSHOT...played by Jack Kehoe
