The overwhelming thing about Ace Ventura is that it DOESN’T make sense…. not even a little bit.

Completely agree with you, Dan, that Sgt. Hartman makes the first half of “Full Metal Jacket.” I saw it for the first time a couple months ago in a packed theater and in the first scene his spitting dialogue had the audience in stitches. I can’t come up with five characters right now, but here’s a few of my favorites:

1 – Alex DeLarge, portrayed by Malcolm McDowell in Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange.” As despicable as his character is throughout the first portion of the film, I loved him. I’ve always had a thing for a character that knows how to get whatever he/she wants. His “Hi hi hi!” is a line I’ll never forget. His performance is one of reasons that “Clockwork” is one of my all-time favorite films.

2 – Lester Burnham, portrayed by Kevin Spacey in “American Beauty.” Another one of my favorite films… I couldn’t help but to go my favorites to find what I think are the greatest characters. I love the transformation that Lester undergoes throughout the film. Spacey delivered every line impeccably. I wouldn’t say he makes the film – Annette Benning’s character is equally as important to the film, and another one of my favorites – but Lester’s development into someone that learns to love life makes him stand out for me. Lester reminds me to slow down and live in the moment.

3 – Thelma and Louise, portrayed by Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, respectively, in “Thelma & Louise.” Like Lester, Thelma and Louise completely transform throughout the film, from suppressed to utterly empowered women. You can’t help but cheer for them as they rob a convenience store and wreak havoc with two pistols. Love them.

Having a think about this i’ve come up with a couple.
Firstly Short Round from Indiana Jones, the little Chinese (though actually Vietnamese) boy. He’s very funny (“No time for love Dr Jones”) and makes me smile every time i see him.

Next is Clarence Worley from True Romance. There needed to be a character from this film as it is my all time favourite film. I adore his passion for Alabama and Elvis and love the fact that he will do anythin for his Love. Wonderful.

Finally just got to add Stewie Griffin. My child will be an evil genius too!

I don’t have any :/
I don’t watch enough films to be honest.

And even if I had to choose, I would go for Brick from Anchorman, just because he makes me laugh every time I watch the film. And now I am stuck.
