Ritchie Valens bro Bob was awesome... "I'm flying this coop."

I loved that movie. I was young though when it came out and didn't catch on to some things until later.

Peter Falk-Columbo
Larry Hagman-Major Nelson
Peter Sellers-Inspector Clouseau
Raymond Burr-Perry Mason
Rod Serling-Twilight Zone Narrator
Sally Field-The Flying Nun
John Travolta-Vinnie Barbarino
William Shatner-Captain Kirk

I think I'm dating myself here.

they aren't so promenant here but it's the best I can do on short notice:

Which character do you see Jack as?

In order of the movie coming out:


George Hanson


Buddusky


Gittes


McMurphy



Jack Torrance

For me it is either McMurphy or Gettes but he had me at Hanson and Buddosky.

The universal association has to be Jack Torrance for Jack Nicholson...everybody and their brother had a "Here's Johnny" Shining Poster in college.

Other obvious ones that should be universal for everyone...

Tom Cruise - Jerry Maguire or Maverick (probably JM)
Keanu Reeves - Johnny Utah or Neo (probably Neo)
Sigourney Weaver - Ripley
Mel Gibson - William Wallace
Arnold - Terminator
Michael J. Fox - Marty McFly
Bill Murray - Carl Spackler
Chevy Chase - Clark Griswold (wins over Irwin Fletcher due to longevity of the Vacation movies.)
Tim Robbins - Andy Dufresne
Morgan Freeman - Red
Clint Eastwood - the man with no name
Brad Pitt - Tyler Durden
Humphrey Bogart - Rick Blaine
Ingrid Bergman - Ilsa
Vivien Leigh - Scarlett O'Hara
Anthony Perkins - Norman Bates
Anthony Hopkins - Hannibal Lecter
Jimmy Stewart - George Bailey
Kevin Spacey - Keyser Soze
Tom Hanks - Forrest Gump
Peter O'Toole - T.E. Lawrence
Leonardo DiCaprio - Jack Dawson
Paul Newman - Butch Cassidy
Robert Redford - The Sundance Kid
Marlon Brando - Don Vito Corleone
Frances McDormand - Marge Gunderson
Robert DeNiro - Travis Bickle
Al Pacino - Michael Corleone
Jeff Bridges - the Dude

He will always and forever be Ross from Friends.

Bruce Willis = John McClain

Powers Boothe = Curly Bill

Samuel L Jackson = Jules

Travolta had 2 careers.

Early Travolta = Tony Manaro

Later Travolta = Vincent Vega

One really obvious

Mark Hamil = Luke Skywalker

Morgan Freeman - God/Narrator

Jennifer Anniston will always be Rachel. Mostly because she always seems to play Rachel, same hair, same mannerisms, etc (though I have to admit, I haven't seen Horrible Bosses yet. Maybe she comes off as less "Rachel-y" in that)

---

she absolutely does. she's a slutty whore in horrible bosses and looks better than she's ever looked with the brunette hair.

anthony hopkins - hannibal

Thinking this is one that everyone would agree with.
