Jason Schwartzmen as Max Fisher in Rushmore.
Woodie Allen as Harry in Deconstructing Harry.
- I sort of identify with the intelligent fuck-up who redeems himself through art existentialist motif.
Woodie Allen as Alby Singer in Annie Hall.
- The whole neurotic incredibly overly self analytical and daydreamy personality.
Audrey Tautou as Amelie in Amelie.
-I'm sort of a romantic who holds onto my childhood a little.
Ron Livingston as Peter Gibbons in Office Space.
-I'm sort of nihilistic when it comes to the corporate world and stuff.

The Tramp - from Charlie Chaplin films
Jeffrey Beaumont - Blue Velvet
Frank Booth - Blue Velvet
(& along with that Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde perhaps hehe)
Dr. Dave Bowman - 2001: A Space Odyssey
Jeffrey "the Dude" Lebowski - The Big Lebowski (great mention, HaydenAsche)
Luke Skywalker - Star Wars IV-VI (I identify with many of the other characters too though)
Wyatt (Captain America) - Easy Rider
Randle Patrick McMurphy - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Bruce Wayne/Batman - Batman
Atticus Finch - To Kill a Mockingbird (someone actually once wrote at the old board that I reminded them of the character)

Hip Priest 07.19.2006 05:27 PM

Kind of a cross between Max Cohen (played by Sean Gullette) in Pi and Kati (played by Anna Maria Mühe) in Big Girls Don't Cry (Große Mädchen Weinen Nicht, if you prefer).

I'd quite like to see myself as Angelo, Olivier Martinez's character in The Horseman on the Roof (Le Hussard Sur Le Toit, if you prefer). But that's a bit far fetched.

Savage Clone 07.19.2006 05:28 PM

Atari always struck me more as a Marvin type (BBC version, of course):
 

jon boy 07.19.2006 05:30 PM

venkman, but probably more like hanibal lector.

atari 2600 07.19.2006 05:30 PM

okay (just for The Clone)

Hal 9000 - 2001: A Space Odyssey

(another paranoid machine)

haha

I have to laugh at that

Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) from Ghostbusters

brilliant, jon boy!

when I was younger friends who marvelled at my prowess called me Don Juan (& not from those Casteneda books!)
so I guess I should include

Don Juan DeMarco

a far cry from "Marvin"

Savage Clone 07.19.2006 05:35 PM

Marvin the Paranoid Android!
"Brain the size of a planet," underappreciated by all around him.
Seriously, I thought you would enjoy this comparison.

atari 2600 07.19.2006 05:36 PM

now I do, thanks

after all, I am prone to paranoia & depression.

So much for my planet-sized brain though.

I would have definitely related to Artoo Detoo.
I love R2D2.

First I get schooled on jazz today & now this.
Yesterday, someone beat me to the punch with the Lee doing Hoarfrost on Spanish TV thing too.

I'm feeling like Vizzini from The Princess Bride.

Inconceivable!

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 07.19.2006 05:39 PM

I love Marvin!

afterthefact 07.19.2006 06:15 PM

Either Joel from Eternal Sunshine, or Mark from Empire Records, it all just depends on my mood...

static-harmony 07.19.2006 06:19 PM

Samara from The Ring, I'll be popping out of your t.v.

I dont know who Tom Sizemore is, but, Cantankerous, I think Courtney Loves character in that Larry Flint movie is very apt for you.

krastian 07.19.2006 07:11 PM

Travis Bickle
 

Sike, I don't know.

qprogeny79 07.19.2006 07:20 PM

extra #3 from that 1973 b-movie you've never seen.

Rob Instigator 07.19.2006 07:21 PM

isn't tom sizemore the actor? which role dude? which role?


I am exactly 50% Dude and 50% Walter
 

acousticrock87 07.19.2006 08:26 PM

Joel from Eternal Sunshine, or Adam Sandler's character from Anger Management. You know, those character that are hard to play because they're so fucking boring.

John Violence 07.19.2006 08:42 PM

I know it's not a movie character but what the hell


 

Norma J 07.19.2006 09:36 PM

Al Bundy. HAHA. Thats a good one. So is the Dude.

It surprises me how the members of this messageboard go for more of the stoner/degenerate/lazy characters. As opposed to most messageboards which go more for the likes of Johnny Depp etc.

atari 2600 07.19.2006 09:44 PM

A way out west there was a fella,
I want to tell you about, fella
by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At
least, that was the handle his lovin'
parents gave him, but he never had
much use for it himself. This
Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
Now, Dude, that's a name no one would
self-apply where I come from. But
then, there was a lot about the Dude
that didn't make a whole lot of sense
to me. And a lot about where he
lived, likewise. But then again,
maybe that's why I found the place
so'durned intarestin'.

They call Los Angeles the City of
Angels. I didn't find it to be that
exactly, but I'll allow as there are
some nice folks there. 'Course, I
can't say I seen London, and I never
been to France, and I ain't never
seen no queen in her damn undies as
the fella says. But I'll tell you
what, after seeing Los Angeles and
thisahere story I'm about to unfold--
wal, I guess I seen somethin' ever'
bit as stupefyin' as ya'd see in any
a those other places, and in English
too, so I can die with a smile on my
face without feelin' like the good
Lord gypped me.

Now this story I'm about to unfold
took place back in the early nineties--
just about the time of our conflict
with Sad'Om and the Eye-rackies. I
only mention it 'cause some- times
there's a man--I won't say a hee-ro,
'cause what's a hee-ro?--but sometimes
there's a man.

And I'm talkin' about the Dude here--
sometimes there's a man who, wal,
he's the man for his time'n place,
he fits right in there--and that's
the Dude, in Los Angeles

( GEORGE BUSH, SR.:
This aggression will not stand. . .
This will - not - stand!

The Dude, peeking over his shades, scribbles something at
the little customer's lectern. Milk beads his mustache.)

...and even if he's a lazy man, and
the Dude was certainly that--quite
possibly the laziest in Los Angeles
County.

...which would place him high in the
runnin' for laziest worldwide--but
sometimes there's a man. . . sometimes
there's a man.

Wal, I lost m'train of thought here.
But--aw hell, I done innerduced him
enough.

-- it's so fucking hilarious how the Dude later tells Jeffrey "the Big" Lebowski, "This will not stand, ya know, this agression will not stand, man. I mean, your wife owes money all over town..." mimicking the George Bush, Sr. telecast about the Gulf War from the opening sequence...& the whole "parlance of our times" spiel he picks-up from Walter...too much...one of the absolute best comedies ever.

kingcoffee 07.19.2006 11:53 PM

I'm an amalgam of Slater from Dazed and Confused, The Dude from The Big Lebowski, Raul Duke (Hunter Thompson) from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Rob Gordon from High Fidelity.

Alex's Trip 07.19.2006 11:57 PM

Well either Max Fischer from Rushmore, or Richie Tenenbaum
