Feel free to add your own.

[MissDecember]

Gollum ranks higher than Atticus Finch?

[kingcap72]

I guess Jar Jar Binks didn't make the cut? And where's Han Solo at?

[HWBL]

I'm gettin' dizzy from that list, so I don't know if
I just missed Lt. Frank Drebin, or he isn't on it?

He was always my fave in the series

[Just Kill Me]

The first one I looked for was Frank "Baby wants to fuck" Booth; I honestly think the guy who did Donnie Darko was inspired by Blue Velvet.

[radha]

a lot of those are really great characters

[pinkbunnyslippers]

Hey, what about Ceilie from The Color Purple????

Premiere is no longer published, so we won't see this list from them again.
