"We're in some real pretty shit now man!"

There are numerous jokes to be made here. Unfortunately, I'm not witty enough to come up with any of them, so I'll just have to check in regularaly to see other people post them.

Forest, Forest Gump

I can't disagree. Any mentally retarded or handicapped person or Jesus is always the correct answer. And Morgan Freeman. Especially if he plays a retarded person or Jesus.

Elias from Platoon.

Jack Twist

Phillip Seymor Hoffman in Magnolia
The Absent Minded Professor (my vote for most likable of mad scientists)
The hero in Ballad of a Soldier
The little girl in Spirited Away

Mouse (Don Cheadle) in Devil in a Blue Dress.

Oh, hell no.

Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Pink Panther films)
George Bailey (It's a Wonderful Life)
'Luke' Jackson (Cool Hand Luke)
Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird )
Indiana Jones
Irwin Fletcher (Fletch)
Mr. Miyagi (The Karate Kid)
William Wallace (Braveheart)
Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)


Or any of these guys:

Ed from Good Burger

Toshirô Mifune role in The Seven Samurai
Han Solo (Star Wars)
Henry Gondorff (Sting)
Wolverine (X-Men)

Robert Shaw's Quint. The true definition of a real man.

Arnel in Hustle & Flow

Graham Greene in anything

Definitely not Forrest Gump!!!!!!!

I'd say Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Hector in Troy
Vincent in Pulp Fiction
Superman in Superman duh
The Thing in Fantastic Four
Doc, Marty and George McFly in BTTF
The four kids from Detroit Rock City
Hicks and Hudson in Aliens

Billy Ray Valentine in Trading Places

+1 he's such the definition of a hero. unlike that bastich achilles

Amélie Poulain in Amelie.

Brodie in "Mallrats"

If Morgan Freeman ever played a retarded Jesus, he'd win every Oscar category, hands down. And the Lifetime Achievement Award, and probably even some Emmys and Grammys.

the Gremlins

And some Golden Globes. A few People's Choice Awards as well. Hell, he'd even take home a blimp from the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

What about Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption ?

ditto

Andy Dufresne (or however you spell that) in Shawshank
Willie in V (not technically a movie, but still...)
Jack Dawson in Titanic
Young Owen and Beru Lars in Star Wars II/III
Lt. Werner - Das Boot
Tom Hanks in many of his roles (esp. Paul Edgecomb/Green Mile and Andrew Beckett/Philadelphia)
Babsi - Christiane F

Chet Ripley :up:

Not to hijack this thread, but i could never figure out what the plate under that steak said.

I am guessing the plate under the steak says, "Big 96er". I can't clearly make out the last two letters.

Yeah, he'd win a bunch of hero cookies and medals and possibly American Idol.

James Braddock in Cinderella Man

Denis Leary's character in The Thomas Crown Affair

Johnny Depp in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

Max Fischer’s Dad- Rushmore

Dean- The Iron Giant

Batou- Ghost in the Shell 1 & 2

Deb- Napolean Dynamite

It'd never happen. Morgan Freeman can only play Morgan Freeman.

He has zero range as an actor.
