Fictional character from a movie that you fell in love with

[RFKHumphreyObama]

I’m not talking about the actor or actress who portrayed the character, I’m referring to the actual fictitious character in the context of the movie or TV show. For example, you could fallen in love with or had a crush on Jed Bartlett from “The West Wing” or Lorelei Gilmore from “The Gilmore Girls”. You can list the name of the actors or actresses who portrayed the character but I emphasize that this is about the character and not the actor or actress. And please keep this thread clean

Any takers?

[Parrcrow]

1. Meg Ryan as Sally in When Harry Met Sally.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

4. I'll second that

Actually I've fallen for the characters that Meg Ryan portrays in almost all of her movies

[mr_hat]

2. Sally Bowles, Cabaret. Sigh...

[wryter2000]

3. Atticus Finch

It didn't hurt that he looked like Gregory Peck, though.

[Skittles]

33. you stole my answer!

OMG, he was a sexy devil. And that VOICE!

[2bfree]

5. Captain Whentworth....

From Persuation.

[MrsMatt]

7. You'd have to fight me for

Capt. Wentworth.

Or, I suppose I could console myself with either Fitzwilliam Darcy (from the BBC production of "Pride & Prejudice") or George Emerson (from "A Room with a View").

[Lavender Brown]

26. As long as I can have...

MARK Darcy from Bridget Jones' Diary. Colin Firth, I just love him. :)

[LDS Jock]

6. This is embarrassing but here is mine

Ivan Drago in Rocky IV as played by Dolph Lundgren. He was the icy cold blond boxer from Russia with the great body and sexy accent. I know he isn't really Russian but the character is and that made him all the sexier to me. Russia still have a forbidden quality to it which I find strangely attractive. OK, go ahead and laugh now.

[VelmaD]

8. Rob Roy, Qui-Gon, Oskar Schindler...

the dad in "Love, Actually". I fall in love with a lot of characters played by Liam Neeson. :)

[non sociopath skin]

9. Betty Boop. I still have the hots for her.

.. I even forgive her for when she compromised with the Hays code and went all schoolmarm-y on me.

The Skin

[dbt]

22. Right ON, Skin!!!

Betty Boop RULES to this very day!

:bounce:
dbt

[Burma Jones]

10. Amelie Poulain

From the movie Amelie.... Played by Audrey Tautou

[jobycom]

17. geeze, who didn't?

What a great character, great film.

[JCMach1]

21. I agree... what a babe...

[GR]

11. Eliza Doolittle In Pygmalion...Wendy Hiller the Actress...1938

fyi

[m-jean03]

12. Definitely Willy Wonka as portrayed by Gene Wilder

I know I'm nuts, but he's just so charming!

Sam (whatshis last name?) from the West Wing

Hawkeye Pierce (Alda) from M*A*S*H*

MacGyver

David Starsky

This list goes on...:eyes:

[SOteric]

13. "Stewie" on The Family Guy and Bender the Robot from Futurama.

[DS1]

37. Yeah, you keep thinking that, meatbag!

[sir_captain]

14. When I was 18

I had the biggest crush on Sloane from Ferris Bueller's Day off

[catzies]

15. Kevin Costner as Crash Davis in Bull Durham.

But that was a long time ago, before I was aware he was a Repuke. Forgive me?

[jobycom]

16. Tia Malone in "Escape to Witch Mountain"

Hey, I was her age at the time, so it's not sick! For some reason that movie and that character affected me. I wrote a sequel to it in fifth or sixth grade, even. I used to lay in bed at night and try to turn the lightswitch on with my mind, because I wanted to be like her brother in the film.

[ET Awful]

18. LOL . . . I thought I was the only one :)

I even bought a harmonica :) and wasn't it Tia Castaway? :)

[jobycom]

20. That was at the end

They went by Malone, but when they were being interviewed by a sheriff at the end, he asked their names, and they both said Castaway. It was tied to their visions.

And no, I don't remember it that clearly all these years later, I've watched it with my kids recently. It's still a good movie, I was glad to see. A lot of stuff I liked when I was little was really bad.

I went to DisneyWorld a couple of years ago, and they had the miniature of the flying RV on display on the backlot tour of the MGM park. It's gone now, but it brought back memories, so I tracked down a VHS copy of the film.

Incidentally, Tia is played by Kim Richards, whose sister is the mother of Paris and Nicky Hilton, according to IMDB.

[ET Awful]

35. Interesting :). . . didn't know about that family relation hehehehe.

n/t

[WillParkinson]

41. I had a HUGE crush on her brother, Ike Eisemann...

[jobycom]

42. Ah, how many hearts has Disney set aflutter?

That picture was from the sequel, Return From Witch Mountain. Not nearly as good. But I still loved her in it! :cry:

[WillParkinson]

46. Ooh, I loved Return!

Especially the scene with the two of them fighting with those big smelting pots bashing in to each other...

[rucky]

54. totally n/t

[Ready4Change]

19. Hana in "The English Patient"

Not a big fan of the movie itself, but Hana needed to be kissed. A lot.

An awful lot. More. No, a little more. Nope, still not enough.

God she needed kissing.

[TrogL]

23. a variety of anime characters

eg. the princess from Warriors of the Winds

[AmericanErrorist]

30. "Warriors of the Winds" is disowned by Studio Ghibli

Both in the dub itself and the name; the official U.S. name of the film you are thinking of is Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

[TrogL]

40. OK, I was wondering about that

I saw it as the "warriors" film quite a number of years ago, then saw it again at an anime film festival in Japanese presumably under the proper title. It was barely recognizable as the same movie.

[Dedalus]

24. "There's a new sheriff in town"

Hello? Winona as Veronica Sawyer in "Heathers?" (I'll also accept Winona as Lelaina Peirce in "Reality Bites," but to a much lesser extent).

[indigo32]

25. I'll second that

eom

[ET Awful]

36. Hell, I had the hots for her character in Beetlejuice :) . . .

Hey, I was a lot younger then, what can I say?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

56. I quite liked Winona's character in "Edward Scissorhands"

[noonwitch]

27. Robert Scorpio on General Hospital

I still wish they'd bring him back from the dead. I swear, he's the only soap character that has stayed dead, even though the actor is very much alive (or at least his voice is still doing the ads for Outback Steakhouse).

[buddhamama]

28. Nino from Amelie

he's quirky, sweet and very charming; a different way at looking at the world.

[More Than A Feeling]

29. Juliet from Franco Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet

The beauty of Olivia Hussey blows my mind. Her Juliet was so full of life.

I'll second Sloane from Ferris Bueller as well.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

57. Welcome to DU PrayforSane!

:toast: :toast:

Hope you like it here and look forward to reading more of your posts!

[NicoleM]

31. Lloyd Dobler

from Say Anything.

[slackdude]

32. Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi

That gold bikini that Jabba had her wear was SMOKIN!

[Whitacre D_WI]

34. My first love was Clarissa Marie Darling.

She could "explain it all" to me anytime.

[mvd]

38. Good topic, SD1981

I think Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol (all versions) is the most likeable character I've seen. Who can forget the "God bless us, every one."

[RFKHumphreyObama]

60. Good choice MVD

And "A Christmas Carol" is one of my favorite tales -and probably my favorite story by Dickens-and they do some wonderful movie versions of this one which I have enjoyed immensely.

Having started the thread, I should probably provide some answers. Here they are in list of preference
(1) Dr Eva Warden (Maternal Instincts) -portrayed so very well by Beth Broderick
(2) Sabrina Crane (Maternal Instincts)-portrayed by Sandra Nelson
(3) Dr Valerie Somers (Lantana) portrayed by Barbara Hershey
(4) Jackie Harrison (Stepmom) portrayed by Susan Sarandon
(5) Aunt Hilda (Sabrina) portrayed by Sherry Miller
(6) Aunt Zelda (Sabrina) portrayed by Beth Broderick
(7) Aunt Hilda (Sabrina the TV series) portrayed by Caroline Rhea
(8) Aunt Zelda (Sabrina the movie) portrayed by Charlene Fernetz
(9) Jamie Carter (in the episode "Designing Women" of Family Ties) -portrayed by Deborah Engle
(10) DA Karen Fitzgerald (in I can't remember what episode of "Law and Order"). Admittedly we don't see her because she is murdered but her character and personality made me fall in love with her


I better stop there because this list could go on forever

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. ARAGORN

from lord of the rings

[Catshrink]

45. Oh yeah. What a hottie!

[fudge stripe cookays]

43. "Richie White" from Over the Edge.

Matt Dillon's first role (1978). It was that whole "bad boy" thing. I never got tired of him telling about the time he broke into a bike shop.

[U of M Dem 07]

44. Christian from Moulin Rouge

*sigh* :)

[Ramsey]

47. Mr. Darcy

As played by Colin Firth in the BBC miniseries of Pride and Prejudice.

I also really love Mr. Knightly from Emma, played by Jeremy Northam.

When I was little I had a big crush on BOTH Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Mark Hamel as Luke Skywalker.

And finally, as hot-blooded 30-something, I'll admit to drooling over both Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Legolas (Orlando Bloom).

[Blue_Tires]

48. Tatum O'Neal

in the "Bad News Bears," don't remember her character name... naturally i was 10 when i first saw the movie

[bleedingheart]

49. Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility

so sensitive...so sweet...I like that type.

however Aragorn if we are just talking about lust...

[Red State Rebel]

50. Rhett Butler

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

51. Teri from Project X (Helen Hunt) (nt)

[tigereye]

52. Chris from Northern Exposure ( Miles, too sort of)

Aragorn, Bill Pullman in pretty much anything ( one where he was a widower- professor- father of a high school daughter, don't remember the title.)

Jeff Daniels character in Something Wild

[lolly]

53. While you were sleeping . . .

That's the Bill Pullman I fell in love with.

(He plays kind of a yutz in "Sleepless in Seattle"--the guy with allergies who gets dumped for Hanks.)

But my first love--the Prince in "Slipper and the Rose"--played by Young Dr. Kildare, aka Richard Chamberlaine.

(Yes, I know now that he's on the other side of the fence, but he was gorgeous in that. Costumes, singing, romance.)

[CBHagman]

55. Definitely Gus in "Lonesome Dove"

Both in the novel and in the mini-series. Gus had more faults than I could possibly name, but he was NEVER at a loss for words -- or wit. Come hell or high water (and there was plenty of both in LD), he could keep you laughing. No wonder both Clara and Lorena fell for him.

[bobbieinok]

58. Character Dana Andrews plays in the classic 'Laura'

[lolly]

59. Must have been a good movie

And my dad must have had a thing for the title character--he named me after her.

He used to have a Frank Sinatra recording of the theme song, played it all the time.

[SarahB]

61. John Cusak in both Say Anything and Serendipity

John Cusak doesn't inherently give me that huge "oomph" (although a great looking man), but his determined devotiom in those movies did it for me. Same goes for (*gasp*) Adam Sandler's character in 50 First Dates. Gotta like those truly devoted types.

[Serenity-NOW]

62. Venus from Baron Von Munchausen n/t

[NMDemDist2]

63. i don't think i can spell it == Iliya Kuriacin

from "I Spy"

he was soooo dreamy and dangerous


my first crush

[uhhuh]

64. Nora Charles

From any and all of The Thin Man movies.

[Babel_17]

65. Sean Young as Rachel in Blade Runner

Ms. Young totally nailed the character IMO. Her performance encompassed a wide emotional gamut and demonstrated a very complex individual.

She was visually striking and the delivery of her lines was piercing. Such a sexy voice.

[nuxvomica]

66. Diana the model in "Darling"

For TV: Katy Holstrum in "The Farmer's Daughter". Yeah, I know. I'm old.

[Sticky]

67. Goldi Hawn's character in Overboard

Her usual effervescence but in a character that was well developed.

[The Lone Liberal]

68. Jessica Rabbit

"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way"
