feetsdontfailmenow Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Interesting question! For my list, I will cite the actor and the movie only, since, in most cases, I do not recall the name of the character portrayed by the actor. For listing uniformity's sake then, even though I know, for example, that George C. Scott portrayed Patton in Patton and Wallace Beery portrayed Pancho Villa in Pancho Villa and Humphrey Bogart portrayed Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny, I will still just list the actor's name and the movie - kindly understand as well that I just do not memorize character names, so I do apologize for that. I will list the male characters first, then, the female characters, saving the best for last - normally, the ladies are first, but I'm saving the best for last this time! Male Characters: Humphey Bogart in The Caine Mutiny Humphrey Bogart in The Treasure of Sierra Madre Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca Humphrey Bogart in The Roaring Twenties Wallace Beery in Pancho Villa Wallace Beery in Min and Bill Wallace Beery in Dinner at Eight Clark Gable in Mutiny on the Bounty Richard Pryor in Jo-Jo Dancer George C. Scott in Patton Errol Flynn in Robin Hood Spencer Tracy in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World Charles Laughton in Ruggles of Red Gap W. C. Fields in every W. C. Fields comedy Kirk Douglas in Paths of Glory ----------------------------------------------- Female Characters: Marilyn Monroe in every movie she ever made! Bette Davis in every movie she ever made! Marie Dressler in Min and Bill Marie Dressler in Dinner at Eight Doris Day in Calamity Jane Dorothy Dandridge in Carmen Jones Eartha Kitt in Anna Lucasta Shirley Maclaine in Irma La Douce Susan Hayward in I Want to Live Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz ------------------------------------------------- Because of this very interesting post, I am inspired to post a query regarding "B" movies - watch for it! Have a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipcress Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 A lot of people on here just use IMDB or other sites to "memorize", if you will, movie info. Or the many books/magazines they own/collect. Anyway, I suggest using http://www.imdb.com for movie info. (character names, reviews, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
