Favourite Characters in Movies?

[LEGION]

Cool man, I'll go buy it tomorrow. Any movie I like I just buy it on DVD and rewatch it over and over, lol. Sounds like a good one.

Even though it's a different type movie, 30 Days of Night was awesome IMO. The sheer brutality and the way they communicated, plus the whole visual aspect of being in total darkness in Alaska was very cool to me.

Thanks for the tip.

I've bought it at Blockbuster for those 3 for 15 deals twice now. Usually I do the same. I only have a 40 GB harddrive so I can't usually keep movies for long when I download them so I download them and if I like them I buy them and watch them again like you said.

With Children of Men I had a friend put me on to it, loved it, bought it and then gave it to my brother to watch on his plane ride back. Then just bought it 3 days ago and can't believe I was without it for so long. I'm trying to do a marathon of John Adams watching that every night but Children of Men interrupted that for a night. Let me know what you think of it.

As for the thread topic, another.

Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale both in The Prestige. Another favorite of mine, excellent direction and perfect casting. Had either of these guys performances not been as great as they were, the movie wouldn't have been nearly as good with 1 character lacking. But no, they were both great. Jackman though stood out because I had never seen anything of his past X Men and Van Helsing which were both cool movies but nothing extraordinary in either performance. I knew he was an acclaimed but never knew he was capable of this.

He also did a very good job in The Fountain which is easily the weirdest movie I've ever seen. And not in a Brazil sort of way but in it's own level of weirdness, just a bizarre movie that I have never fully understood because I've been high each time I've seen it. With visuals like that it's to hard to pass up.

I keep meaning to watch The Prestige but I always got something else on. They show it every day on the Drama Channel or whatever its called.

Never heard of The Fountain.

With Batman and Heath Ledger and all that going on; I just remembered The Four Feathers, IMO Heath's best movie. Loved it.

The Fountain isn't worth buying anymore. It really is made for people who are high I'm convinced of it's waaay out there.

The Prestige, that's a must see. Literally. One of the best stories you will ever see and with top notch acting too. Michael Cain, Christain Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson and with one of the craziest plot twists I have ever seen. Make sure to watch it next time you see it. I have the Starz package too I'll give you a heads up if I see it on the guide. You won't regret that really. I've never heard a bad word about it. About two magicians and their separate rises to the top and their attempts to sabotage one another. Also, David Bowie does a great job playing Nikolai(I think) Tessla, the Tessla electricity guy.

This has turned into a really good thread. Really interesting to read through all the responses. I havent seen the Prestige yet though I have seen clips of Bowie playing Tesla. That children of Men film looks interesting too. Will have to check them out out. Cheers Amat!

Is Micheal Caine a scouser?
