[Chichiri]

Poll question: ROUND SIX -- Greatest Movie Character Ever, Semifinals

The winners of the first five rounds are The Man With No Name, Ellen Ripley, Indiana Jones, Dr. Strangelove and The Blues Brothers. Time for round 6.

Note that I'll be posting round 7, and possible more, tonight as well -- we may lose polls at any time.

Here are the round 6 contestants:



MRS. ISELIN
Angela Lansbury, "The Manchurian Candidate"

"I keep telling you not to think! You're very, very good at a great many things, but thinking, hon', just simply isn't one of them."


AURORA GREENWAY
Shirley MacLaine, "Terms of Endearment"

"Do you have any reaction at all to my telling you I love you?"


GUNNERY SGT. HARTMAN
R. Lee Ermey, "Full Metal Jacket"

"Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel faint! Jesus H. Christ! I think you've got a hard-on!"


COL. NATHAN R. JESSUP
Jack Nicholson, "A Few Good Men"

"You can't handle the truth!"


FREDDY KRUEGER
Robert Englund, "A Nightmare On Elm Street" and sequels

"Daddy can't help you now."


JANE CRAIG
Holly Hunter, "Broadcast News"

"Just what do you want from me anyway, permission to be a fake? Stop whining."


NORMA DESMOND
Gloria Swanson, "Sunset Boulevard"

"All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up."


INIGO MONTOYA
Mandy Patinkin, "The Princess Bride"

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."


MARGO CHANNING

4. Not only was Mrs Iselin the greatest, Angela Lansbury was

beyond great in that role. I watched it the first time without ads on a movie channel a few years ago after watching Jessica Fletcher for years. I forgot it was her at one intense point. I'd love to tell her that one day. She was fucking awesome.

5. Crawford portraying a parody of herself is clearly the winner.

I'm a straight woman, btw, but I haven't seen that flick often enough after at least two dozen viewings.

6. Sgt. Hartman ruled in "Full Metal Jacket".

"I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach around!" Classic.
