Cool Names in Movies

[Susan]

I always noticed alot of heroes in movies have pretty bland names, usually John. It's the villians with the memorable names. I mean, where would "Silence of the lambs" be if hopkins character was Bob lawrence?I thought it might be interesting to list some cool character names  After all - dosent' that add a little spice to the character? If you can also think of any cool movie names in general, whether or not it's a good or bad guy , list it!

Hannibal (the Cannibal) Lecter
Cruella DeVille

[Harry]

Thurman Murman
from Bad Santa...I thought the movie would suck, but a friend made me watch it, I thought it was hilarious

Clint Eastwoods name in Every Which Way but Loose and the other Orangutan movie was Philo Beddo.

The most interesting name of a character to me was Jan-Michael Vincent's character in the series Airwolf   "Stringfellow Hawke" , his brother's name was St. John  (pronounced sinjin).

[Ash]

Marty McFly

[BoyScoutKevin]

Emil Minty's role in "The Road Warrior" aka "Mad Max 2" The Feral Kid. Nicknames don't come any cooler then that. (IMHO)

Although i have to give props for Long duk Dong..lol

I always loved Lex Luther even tho you can't attribute it to the movie. Boogie nights has a few - does it get better than Dirk Diggler?

Well on that note a few james bond women come to mind....

I NOTICED THE SAME THING! EVERY OTHER GOOD GUY THAT HAS THE LEAD ROLE IS NAMED JOHN OR JACK!

[Pus]

How about "Ford Lincoln Mercury" in "The Postman"?

Kinda off the topic, but you ever notice that Schwaezenneger's characters in general have rather non-Austrian names?--Harry Tasker, John Kimble, Douglas Quaid, John Matrix, Jack Slater, Jerico Cane, to name a few
