    This one's a bit tougher...

    Saw some great movies listed in the other thread. There were a lot of movies that made me say "man that movied sucked balls but <enter char name here> was awesome or hilarious". So throw out your top 5 favorite characters from a movie. Doesn't have to be from a favorite movie of yours.

    Here's mine:
    1) Doc Holliday - Tombstone - Val Kilmer
    2) Donkey - Shrek - Eddie Murphy
    3) Franky 4 Fingers - Snatch - Benicio Del Toro (this movie had a lot of great characters btw)
    4) Han Solo - Star Wars - Harrison Ford
    5) Frank "The Tank" Ricard - Old School - Will Ferrel


    Honorable mentions:
    Jangle Leg - Life - Bernie Mac
    Basher Tarr - Ocean's Eleven - Don Cheadle
    Sgt. Hartman - Full Metal Jacket - R. Lee Ermey
