Greatest movie character of all time...

In the November issue of EMPIRE magazine, a list of the 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time (as voted by the readers) were revealed. You really couldn't argue with the top 10:

1. 1. Indiana Jones (pictured, left) - Indiana Jones series, played by Harrison Ford
2. 2. The Joker - Batman (Jack Nicholson), The Dark Knight (Heath Ledger)
3. 3. Darth Vader - Star Wars eps 3-6 (David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones)
4. 4. Jack Sparrow - Pirates 1-3 (Johnny Depp)
5. Hannibal Lector - Lector trilogy (Anthony Hopkins)
6. James Bond - 007 series (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig)
7. Tyler Durden - Fight Club (Brad Pitt)
8. Han Solo - Star Wars eps 4-6 (Harrison Ford)
9. Forrest Gump - Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks)
10. The Terminator - Terminator series (Arnold Schwarzenegger)

Only one that raised my eyebrow in the top 10 was Tyler Durden. But there's no doubt he is a truly memorable character. Agree, disagree with the list?

Interesting to note was of the 100 characters only 12 were female. And the first female character does not appear until no.18 with Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz. Proving that there are no real "strong" female roles in Hollywood or else where these days. It's a shame because there are so many talented actresses.
