@Charlie Concord,
Ferris Bueller in Ferris Bueller's day off - for being able to be so persuasive and to live life with ease, comfort and style through his wits. I never tire of watching it.

@motorace,
Ferris Buellers day off is a must see flick.

The autistic savant, Raymond Babbitt, in Rain Man (portrayed by Dustin Hoffman).

@firefly,
Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd. It could be caricature in someone else hands, but Gloria was perfection. A great actress is a great actress

Oh and Lillian Gish in Night of the Hunter, hands down one of the most frightening films I've ever seen. She was more than enough force for Robert Mitchem's character. It's rawness is chilling.

I saw that movie about 5 months ago, I liked it better after some years had passed.

@glitterbag,
I saw it in one of the tiny theaters they had, in Kansas City, in 1969, and then again a few years ago. Strong stuff, but I enjoyed all of the actors.

Nick and Nora Charles in The Thin Man series. And let's not forget Asta.

@Charlie Concord,
Personally, for me - is Leo DiCaprio as Jack in Titanic.
This character was so simple, so honest with the pure heart and so selfless. He wanted to help Rose so desperately and he did. He saved her in all ways.
And it doesn't matter how many times I watch it - the end is always so sad when he dies. It's unfair, I think Smile.

Did anybody but me see Christian Bale in The Machinist? It wasn't a big box office hit, but once you see him in it, you can't forget it.

Every character in 'Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World', it was chock full of great actors and entertainers, I laugh every time I see it. Another old movie that is even funnier today than when it was made in the 60's, 'Dr. Strangelove: or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb'.


Another film made in the 60s, chock full of talent and just as funny today is The Wrong Box

@Ragman,
I recently watched Taxi Driver with my daughter, prior to viewing she was under the impression it was a Rom Com. She still hasn't told me at exactly what point she realised it wasn't.

@izzythepush,
hahaha. Very good!

What a movie! Sadly, this was a movie that presented a certain sort of view about urban violence in America ...in a sense, raising consciousness. Sadly, it somehow may have triggered a deranged loner Hinckley, who had an obsessive fixation on Jodie Foster. He was the one that attempted to assassinate Prez Reagan.
