My Favorite Screen Characters

I was tagged by Susan Kicklighter in this blog hop, but this subject is fun for everyone. Even if you’re not a blogger, you can leave your top ten favorite screen characters from movie or television in the comments section.

It’s really difficult to narrow it down. I wonder if it’s the actors who make me fall in love with the character rather than the writing. I guess good screen characters are a perfect synergy of acting, directing, and writing.

Anyway, here is a list off the top of my head in no particular order except I’m saving my all-time favorite for last *sigh*.

1. FRANK N. FURTER from ROCKY HORROR

World’s most lovable drag queen.

2. ELAINE BENES from SEINFELD

3. GENE WILDER’s WILLY WONKA

Even when I was ten I thought Willy Wonka was sexy. Must be the top hat.

4. SATINE from MOULIN ROUGE

A tragic heroine at her best.

5. THE DUDE from THE BIG LEBOWSKI

I love ALL the characters in this movie. White Russian, anyone?

6. VIVIAN WARD from PRETTY WOMAN

Impossible not to fall in love with a hooker fairy tale.

7. COUNT DRACULA in BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA

“See me. See me now…”

8. JEN YU from CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON

Kicks ass on so many levels.

9. MARQUIS DE SADE from QUILLS

A true writer pens his novel on bedsheets with his own blood.

10. VICOMTE de VALMONT in DANGEROUS LIAISONS

This is one movie I can recite quotes from (besides Dracula). LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIM!

So who are your favorite all time screen characters?

I tagged some new bloggers who I thought would enjoy this, but if you’re not into blog hops, just ignore. If I didn’t tag you, you’re still free to take it and run with it!

Rules: Name your ten faves, tag ten bloggers, link back to this post http://wp.me/p4qRsP-ja
