Clark over at Clark Kent’s Lunchbox tagged me for a very fun (and hard) meme. Top Ten Favorite Movie Characters (click for his picks)
Seriously, how do you pick? He already called out Daniel Craig in Casino Royale but a character like that deserves a lot of recognition. I mean James Bond, come on he’s just dreamy no matter what. (I know CK that wasn’t exactly the angle you went with for his talents…)
Ahem. Anyway, in no particular order here are my top characters/movie picks.
1. Quantum of Solace – Daniel Craig He’s an awesome actor and fab Bond and even if he wasn’t? He’s gorgeously hot so who cares what the movies like when you just get to look at him the whole time??
2. The Bourne Identity – Matt Damon Again another great performance full of action and adventure (and someone else to have fun watching.)
3. Ocean’s Eleven – Brad Pitt He’s not an actor I like really at all except for this movie. His character of Rusty is just great. He’s always eating too which I find funny.
4. Cast Away – Tom Hanks Who else could hold nearly an entire movie all on his own? I love Tom Hanks.
5. Enemy of the State – Will Smith This is a great movie that makes you think hmm, because it could really happen (and probably already does).
6. Sweet Home Alabama – Reese Witherspoon I love Resse Witherspoon and her character is sharp and cute. Another favorite movie.
7. Vacation with Chevy Chase – Need I say more??
8. Sneakers – Robert Redford I can’t even say how many times I wore out my parents video card renting this movie. It has such a great cast and a mysterious story line. Pre Big Brother 🙂
9. The Hunt for Red October – Sean Connery Fantastic movie by a superb actor.
10. Cheaper by the Dozen – Steve Martin Can you even imagine 12 kids? I can’t but the movie (and the second one) are hilarious. I love the line “You have a dark gift Sara Baker.” Soaking his underwear in meat, hehe. (one day my kids will probably come up with something similar…)
Okay, I own all these movies except Hunt for Red October for some reason. Now I want to have a movie marathon. Anyone else want to share their top favorites?

I love Sneakers! I had it on tape, and I would watch it all the time, back when I had time! River Phoenix was awesome, along with so many of the other actors.

good job on the awards. HEY – you only like Brad Pitt in that one movie. I don’t know if I care for him as a person (well, we haven’t had lunch or anything, so maybe that is unfair) but I LOVE HIM in Legends of the Fall!!!!!!!!!! Be still my heart, he was freaking gorgeous. and I love Sean Connery. Camelot – with Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave, is my favorite movie of all time.

I do like romantic too these were just my mood at the moment I guess.Ginny Marie – I had to go dig it out (vcr tape even!) I love that movie.Wendy – Really? I don’t think he’s attractive actually. But I like his character in Ocean’s.Crash – You and Nacho, you’re joined at the hip!K -You said it.Bex – Mmm, hmmm, Matt Damon.
