Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 1. Ted the Bellhop-(Tim Roth)-Four Rooms 3. Dr. Gonzo-(Benicio Del Toro)-Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 5. Bricktop-(don't know his name)-Snatch 2. Leo Bloom-(Gene Wilder)-The Producers 4. Verbal Kint-(Kevin Spacey)-The Usual Suspects
Guest Mindless_Aggression Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 1. Quint from Jaws. It gets no saltier and hilarious than this guy. Jaw dropping speech plus constant quotable lines. 2. Jules from Pulp Fiction. Similar to Quint in that he's got a million lines worth quoting, plus hilarious throw away lines, but his shining moment is his very serious speech at the end. 3. Budd from Kill Bill Volume 2. I just love every sad, pathetic thing about this character. 4. Kiriyama from Battle Royale. Book version is more interesting, but the movie one is great too. His hair alone makes him a top fiver. 5. Derek Vinyard from American History X. Poor guy is just a mess, gets it all together and then in the end, it essentially all goes back to shit.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 I bet there's going to be a lot of Verbal Kints on this list.

Holly Golightly -- Breakfast at Tiffany's 5.) Sonny -- Dog Day Afternoon Didn't put a lot of thought in it so those might not necessarily be my top five... but they'd all definitely make my top ten.
