opentoe Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Me? 1. Quint (Robert Shaw) from Jaws 2. Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis) from Gangs of New York 3. Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer) from Tombstone John I like your selections but they were good acting scenes for those parts. Give them another role, aren't as good. Bill The Butcher was fantastic. I have some weird ones myself. Best three movie characters in what movie. Not overall best movie actor. There is none. American Hustle - Christian Bale A Few Good Men - Jack Nicolson Monster - Charlize Theron There are many others.
RobJ Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 It's impossible to limit yourself to only 3, so many to choose from. You did say 'favorite' not 'best acting', so here's some top favorites for me. Matt Damon as Jason Bourne - anything with him in it, probably the top spot After that, there's a crowd, and I can't pick just 2 more - Matt Damon AND Robin Williams - Good Will Hunting (actually any Robin Williams in his 'serious' films) Sandra Bullock - While You Were Sleeping (pure lovableness for a lonely guy) Leonard Nimoy as Spock - anything with him as Spock The robot from Short Circuit Gollum - from any Lord of the Rings Any Indiana Jones Jodie Foster - Nell Noomi Rapace - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Rooney Mara was great too) etc (I know I'm forgetting even better ones)
trurl Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 The reason I could never limit it to 3 is because my taste in movies is much longer than my life. I was born in the 50s and there are many movies I love from the 30s for example.

TSM Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Everyone forgot the best of all time. ***Tyler Durden(Brad Pitt) - Fight Club*** "WHOA! WHOA! OK, you are now firing a gun at your imaginary friend NEAR 400 GALLONS OF NITROGLYCERIN!" Other honorable mentions Lt. Aldo Raine(Brad Pitt) - Inglorious Bastards "You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, business is a-boomin'."

SpaceInvaderOne Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Not quite sure how i found this old thread buy hey its a good one! My favorite 1. Lee (Bruce Lee) Enter the dragon -- but in that movie Williams (Jim Kelly) had to say one of the best lines ever in a movie. "When it comes I wouldnt even notice...because i would be too busy looking good! 2. Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) The Fith Element -- one of my all time favorite movies (all the characters are great in it but Gary Oldman my favorite) And third Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) Preditor another great line "so you cooked up a story and dropped the 6 of us in the meat grinder!"

Captain Kirk - Star Trek (any of them) Just that cocky attitude and respect for his crew is awesome. 3. E.T - First movie I every cried at.
