I'm sorry, but while they may be great characters, Gollum, and Jeff Spicoli beating Atticus Finch and Charles Foster Kane seems like an insult. Also, was Dil even on screen in to kill a mockingbird?

I got the issue a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't been able to get past the cover photo of Rebecca Romijn as Bonnie Parker

No Vincent Vega? No Fletch? Come on...........what were they thinking when they made this list!!!

pics?

Neither Jules Winfield nor Travis Bickle made the top 20?? Nonsense.

no Nurse Mildred Ratched - for shame

where the hell is John McClane??? he started it all for action flicks of the 90's into 2000's..that list is tilted!

never mind..just saw him at 46!! sowwy!

I love Ace Ventura ......but, c'mon one of the top 100 characters ever. Get the @#$% outta here. How can you take this list seriously.

No Han Solo?? And no Butch Cassidy or the Sundance Kid?

I have to applaud Annie Hall at number six. That's a great choice.

wheres Aragorn?

I think the better question is where is Gandalf?

Looking over this list, a few things surprised me.

First, Gordon Gekko from Wall Street is amazingly high up there. It's a good role, but I'd say it's a better performance than a character. I'm surprised he made the list at all.

Secondly, Frank Booth and Hannibal Lecter are both far too low. Lecter should be in the top 5. Frank Booth in the top 20 or at least the top 30.

Speaking of Frank Booth, I watched Blue Velvet for the first time this past week and felt Hopper should have had more screen time. That was a great character for him that didn't seem utilized enough. Didn't know anything about the guy except he was a raving psycho, or what his original reasons were for his actions. Though, I guess one can draw their own conclusion.

No Rick or Ilsa? No Jaws? I'm disgusted I say!

Not surprising at all - I keep noticing references to him in business articles and broadcast commentaries. Gordon Gekko has very much become the icon and point of reference for a certain business philosophy and persona.

no han solo, no sale...

Yoda? Where is YODA???

BOOOOOO! This list sucks! Any list that has Dr. Evil above Darth Vader is a shitty list! And why must the Godfather always be #1...christ I'm tired of hearing about the Godfather...its good but is it the best movie ever made? Hell no!

Number 19?

But if you get Jaws, I get Dracula and Frankenstein.

These lists are always so meaningless because they come from magazines run by 20-somethings with no sense of history. The fact that they chose Vito instead of Michael as number one prooves that they have no idea what The Godfather movies were all about.

Not to mention, no Buford T Justice of Texas?

Who is this "Darth Vader" I've been hearing about lately?

Nice list and all, but where is my boy Trent Walker ( Vince Vaughn ) from Swingers ?

James Bond should be #1. period.

No Mr T. or Kahn?

How the s**t can Gollum be #10...the movie character is only a year and a half old...that is so not right when Vader is back at 84!
