After seeing those forums about the worst or best movie, favourite movie quotes and one-liners, I have the following question.
Who is your favourite movie or TV hero (and WHY?)
So some examples could be:
Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford)
Rambo (Stallone)
Terminator
Lt. Gruber from Allo Allo (Guy Singer)
Kelly, from Kellies Heroes (was it Clint Eastwood?)
Al Bundy
Just open your heart here!
Paul
PS:
One of mine is Liam Devlin (by Donald Sutherland)
I just love that lone character in movies based on Higgens novels.

Mine isn't a character, but an actor. James Stewart. I will watch him in anything, any time. Not only did he play heroic characters, he was a hero in real life. He left a promising movie career to fly in the Army Air Force and stayed in the national guard after the war, finally rising to brigadier general. To me he was a true American hero.

Gene Hackman. That guy can play anything. Comedy, drama, you name it. He was good as Lex Luthor in the old Superman movies, did a great job as an ex CIA agent in Enemy of the State. I just love that guy.

I’m the comedy kind of guy,
Steve Martin…Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Jerk, SNL, and just about everything else.
Gene Wilder…Silver Streak, Blazing Saddles
Brendan Fraser…Blast from the Past
Tim Robbins…Nothing to Lose
And last but not least , the big man himself, John Candy. I have every movie this man stared in. Shame is life was cut short.
It feels like bible camp…Only I’m not crying pretending I’m somewhere else.
