These are in no particular order and are by far not all of my favorites, but are a good handful of them.

01. Chunk from the Goonies
Who couldn’t love Chunk with scenes like being locked up with Sloth, being tied to the chair, screaming and jumping and telling the Fratelli’s about the time he fake puked in the movie theater. 
QUOTE: “Look at this. They’ve got Misissippi Mud and they’ve got Chocolate Eruption and they’ve got… what?  It’s a stiff!”

02. Hannibal Lector from the Silence of the Lambs
With the bone chilling way that he says “Clarice”  and his smooth monotone way with words, Hannibal is definitely on my list of favorite characters!
QUOTE: “I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti”

03. Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High
This is one of my all time favorite movies and Spicoli is my favorite character.  I have had many friends that were complete burnouts like Spicoli.
QUOTE: “Relax, alright? My old man is a television repairman, he’s got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.”

04. Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction
Jules Winnfield along with his partner Vincent Vega are two hitmen on the hunt for a briefcase whose contents were stolen from their boss, Marsellus Wallace. They run into a few unexpected detours along the road.
QUOTE: “Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster’s Choice, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?.”

05. Henry Hill from Goodfellas
The small time Irish-Italian American gangster that we get to watch climb up through the hierarchy of the mob and see how he lives his day-to-day life in the process.
QUOTE: “You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like, you’d say to somebody: “You’re gonna like this guy; he’s all right. He’s a goodfella. He’s one of us.” You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.”

06. Max Fischer from Rushmore
A precocious 15-year-old whose reason for living is his attendance at Rushmore.  He becomes involved in a love triangle between his friend the depressed millionaire and Miss. Cross, the Preschool teacher.
QUOTE: “You think I got kicked out because of just the aquarium? Nah, it was the handjob. And you know what else? It was worth it.”

07. Donkey from Shrek
As Shrek’s faithful steed, Donkey is one of the funniest animated characters ever created.  Because of him, I can watch this movie over and over with my kids without losing my mind!
QUOTE: “You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain’t never seen a donkey fly.”

08. Dr. Evil from Austin Powers
The villain with a “soft side” that lives in a volcano, surrounded by liquid hot magma and attended evil medical school for “six frickin’ years”, and he didn’t do so to be called “‘mister,’ thank you very much.”  I LOVE HIM!
QUOTE: “Are those fricken’ sharks with fricken’ laser beams attached to their fricken’ heads?”

09. Jay from the duo Jay and Silent Bob
Jay is a foul mouthed punk whose main goals in life are getting high and getting laid.  He represents someone we have all known at some point in our lives.  I really have no good explanation as to why he is one of my favorite movie characters, he just is.
QUOTE: “Oh, I’m Jay, and this is my hetero-lifemate Silent Bob. I don’t know who those kids were, but they would’ve kicked yours and Lunchbox’s asses if I hadn’t represented.”

10. Gaylord Focker from Meet the Parents
He is a jewish, male nurse with the name Gaylord Focker – if that is not a perfect movie character, I don’t know what is!
QUOTE: “You can milk just about anything with nipples.”
