chasmmi Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 59th: Amy - Gone Girl - Rosamund Pike 33pts - 4 Votes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNKbm4u_NxY And onto the stand out female character of 2014. Gone Girl was an event of a film with two great lead performances (although Affleck only came in 231st), and it is reflected in a finish close to the top 50 for Pike's Amy. She may well me the scariest female character to make the list and blew away a lot of people with the intensity and commitment to the role. This was one of the ten best films of last year in my opinion, also the best female performance for many a year. Well worth watching and well deserving of a place on the list in my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 58th: Colonol Hans Landa - Inglorious Basterds - Christoph Waltz 34pts - 3 Votes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn35dWgffTk So we have an appearance from the imagination of Quentin Tarentino (two other films are yet to receive their top recognitions), Inglorious Basterds helped to launch Waltz into the stratosphere of great supporting actor roles and considering the great characters Tarentino has produced over his filmography to stand out among them must mean something quite positive. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 57th: Augustus - The Fault in Our Stars - Ansel Elgort 35pts - 2 Votes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drwdXDPKA6Q Well so this happened. Not much to say, hateful looking film has 2 fans (one massive). Therefore a small number of visitors to this thread will be happy as can be, the sensible majority will feel as i do and be fine with me moving on right now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 56th: Loki - Thor and Stuff - Tom hiddlestone 35pts - 4 Votes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-h4ulFK2Ek Well that's better now . Still the best Marvel cinematic universe villain and arguably a top 3 comic book villain on screen full stop, Loki is a wonderfully complex character. Yes he was good in the Avengers, but the complexity of his character in both Thor films are some of the highlights of the whole Avengers world. Hiddlestone owns this role and as good as Ultron still was in my eyes, it was kind of sad to see no room for Loki in AOU, he is the best villain Marvel have going for them. Part of me hopes that he can somehow turn hero by Infinity Wars though, you can feel the character wants it too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Hunt Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yas!!! Augustus made the top 60! He totally deserves to be higher but oh well... Loki belongs on a worst character list not a best character list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Cap will definitely be higher than Iron Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 55th: Travis Bickle - Taxi Driver - Robert Deniro 35pts - 4 Votes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e9CkhBb18E Best known for the scene pasted above, Taxi Driver is one of the great characters in cinema and possibly Deniro's defining role in a career of defining roles. Insanely this is his only character in the entire list (no votes for Corleone, or Raging Bull [although that one would have been against the rules ]), it's a bit crazy considering some of the other faces I see on my excel spreadsheet. At least one great character made it though. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 54th: Freddy Krueger - Nightmare on Elm St - Robert Englund 36pts - 2 Votes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc2k9pm3UeM A second Robert in a row and a very different actor. Englund has played a lot of questionable roles in a lot of questionable films, but Freddy Kreuger was a instant classic. A horror icon of the highest order and that is down to the character Freddy has. Whether one prefers Halloween or Friday more, it would be harder to vote for those characters as they could kind of be portrayed by anyone, just walk slowly and stab things. Krueger however only works as Englund, he's pretty irreplaceable in the role and on a personal note, I am very happy that he made it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Cap and Iron Man don't deserve to be on the top list. I hope they are only in the 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misafeco Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Loki? Augustus Waters? Cap and Iron Man don't deserve to be on the top list. I hope they are only in the 40s. Cap in the 40s, Iron Man possibly in the 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Loki? Augustus Waters? Cap in the 40s, Iron Man possibly in the 20s. Captain America is going to be higher than Iron Man. I'll bet my life on it. yes there is nothing special about him. BUT HE'S THE GREATEST CHARACTER IN ALL FICTION.

misafeco Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Do you have a problem with that? I liked The Fault In Our Stars, but Shailene Woodley is the MVP, not Ansel Elgort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I liked The Fault In Our Stars, but Shailene Woodley is the MVP, not Ansel Elgort.

Fancyarcher Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) All these characters from 2014 movies....... I can't say I'm surprised. Most of these users would probably pick recent popular films for best characters, since that would be the first thing that pops into their minds. Still, Freddy Krueger and Travis Bickel being on this last, made up for that. Edited May 27, 2015 by Furiousarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
