    I have tons of movie characters whom I love, but it's kind of difficult to naorrow it down to ones who stand out enough to actually call them favorites... but here's what I came up with, off the cuff.

    1. "To Kill a Mockingbird" - Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch
    2. "Gladiator" - Russell Crowe as Maximus
    3. James Bond (Sean Connery version only)
    4. "Silence of the Lambs" - Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector
    5. "To Sir with Love" - Sidney Poitier as Sir
    6. "Zorba the Greek - Anthony Quinn as Zorba
    7. "Funny Girl" - Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice
    8. "Back to the Future I, II, III" - Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly
    9. "Young Frankenstein" - Marty Feldman as Igor
    10. "Annie Hall" - Diane Keaton in title role

    Some honorable mentions that I especially loved too - Kirk Douglas in "Spartacus", Jack Lemmon in "Some Like it Hot", Cary Grant in "Arsenic and Old Lace", Gary Sinise in "Forrest Gump", Tommy Lee Jones & Will Smith in "MIB I & II", Russell Crowe as Sid 6.7 in "Virtuousity".
    Yep, knew I could never list just 10... :guffaw:
