God (as played by morgan freeman in Bruce Almighty)

Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black)

Joe (from Empire Records)

Lucas (also from Empire Records)

Col. Jack O'Neill (Stargate SG-1)

Pilot (Farscape)

Rygel (Farscape)

I'll second Yeahduff's Daryl Zero vote.

Alan Rickman (in various movies, Galaxy Quest, Dogma, need I go on?)

Sam Jackson's character in Long Kiss Goodnight

Maverick (Mel Gibson in the movie of the same name, James Garner in that movie also)

And then I agree with a lot of what's already been said.

I agree with much of what has been said but would add, somewhat randomly, Chihiro and Yubaba (Spirited Away), Wladyslaw Szpilman (The Pianist...yes, it's sort of cheating because he was a real person, but Brody's interpretation of the character is wonderful), Mouse (Ladyhawke), Charlie and Donald Kaufman (Adaptation), Edward Scissorhands, Hellboy, and--for kicks--Belle (Beauty and the Beast). Oh...and Verbal (The Usual Suspects), too.

Ha ha! That was a fantastic movie! Jesus had go go dancers!

He actually looks a lot like a guy I knew in college, too, once he gets the haircut.

I was so disappointed they didn't keep him in the robes and long hair for longer. After a while, it was like I wasn't even watching a religious movie any more.

Spock -- From any Star Trek movie or the show
Lt. Commander Worf -- From Star Trek: The Next Generation; You've gotta love his line in First Contact where, after having inexplicably repaired the hole in his spacesuit by tying a knot with the tube attached to the arm of a Borg drone, he shoots another with his phaser rifle, exclaiming: "Assimilate this!"
Data -- From Star Trek: The Next Generation; He's Data! Enough said.
Richard "Data" Wang -- From The Goonies; "Slick Shoes!"

God, I loved the book, can't believe I watched the movie.

You guys missed out the big ugly mu'fu'er from Sin City, whatshisname

Marv, I believe.

But, hey, Kevin from the same movie was cool, too. Prior to Sin City, I wouldn't have believed Elijah Wood could do anything like that.

The MacManus family - The Boondock Saints
Detective Paul Smecker - The Boondock Saints
The Tremors - Smokin' Aces
Buddy "Aces" Israel - Smokin' Aces
James Bond (particularily Sean Connery) - The James Bond movies
Mumble - Happy Feet (don't judge me!)
Batman - Batman Begins
Catwoman - Batman Returns

That's all I can really think of for some reason.

Remon was far better than Mumble...you big Hobbit lover.

I enjoyed Batman and Scarecrow out of Batman Begins, but nothing tops Nicholson's Joker.

these are not nominations for the list, but as terrible as the Schumacher Batmen were, I still have a special place in my heart for Jim Carrey's Riddler and even Tommy Lee Jones' Two Face, despite the fact it's an entirely different character from the comics. the two of them just seemed to enjoy the roles too much to stop me from enjoying it.

I approve of the list so far, I'd have to really put much more thought into it than willing at the moment to add anyone.

Whenever I think of Dianne Weist, I think of her character in Edward Scissorhands.

And then I get choked up.

Wolf for teh win! I love the 10th Kingdom!
Max Bialystock-The producers
If we can do TV shows as well, I nominate Dr. Cox from Scrubs
Elwood Blues-The Blues brothers
Tim the enchanter-Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Sir Didymus-Labyrinth
Willy Wonka-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
A lot of characters from the Raggedy Ann and Andy movie, because man...that's one screwed up movie.
Plus I know I've forgotten a lot, and there've been more already mentioned.
