Is Gort the robot or the cracker from another planet?

I know the title of the thread is "single" greatest movie character ever, but I'm going to name two:

Takashi Shimura as Kanji Watanabe in Ikiru
Burt Lancaster as Elmer Gantry in Elmer Gantry

Michael Corleone

I don't like Nirvana, but I was a hipster in the 90s so I had contempt for them while sitting in the back of the classroom telling everyone that Mudhoney is the band that should defines 90s alternative rock.

With that in mind, if you look at whole body of work, I'd have to say Nirvana is one but that's just because they ended before the crap stuff they would inevitably produce. 2. would probably be Pearl Jam 3. SP and 4. GD.

If you look at the band at their peak, 1 would be Pearl Jam, 10, Vs., Vitalogy, No Code is a good peak run and the kids forget that at the time, PJ was huge and people loved Vs. more than In Utero but since then IU gets the suicide bump. 2. Nirvana 3. SP and 4. GD.

Green Day shouldn't be in the conversation, they had a moment with American Idiot but then tried to become pop punk's version of The Who.

Still Doc. Always Doc. It’s one of the only subjective opinions on art that I have remained consistent on ever a decade plus.

Absolutely loved Doc in Tombstone. His exchanges with the Clantons and Johnny Ringo were some of the best lines ever in movies.

Doc is the first one that came to mind.

Add the Outlaw Josey Wales and John McClain to the list as well.

Um, love how you just completely dismiss Soundgarden like they never existed.

They could very well be at least #2 on that list.
