Top 10 Favorite Characters in All of Cinema

[Warhammer]

I started this thread because it seemed very interesting to me. My love of cinema and loving so many characters made me make this thread. I'm sure that this has been done before, but I maybe only saw a thread like this once or twice in my time on the Hype. This thread is not only about Heroes or Villains, but any cinematic character. It can range from Han Solo to Jack Ryan, from Michael Corleone to Captain Kirk, from Luke Skywalker to the Terminator, from Darth Vader to Hannibal Lecter, from Spider-Man to Jack Sparrow. This is your undisputed Top 10 favorite characters in all of cinema.
