Surely someone besides myself has seen Vertigo, Targets and Peeping Tom?I did not read the rules and foolishly made more than 5 nominations earlier, so would it be impossible for me to nominate John 'Scottie' Ferguson from Vertigo?
Um, how exactly is Walter Sobchak mentally ill? He has some anger problems and talks about Vietnam alot, but I don't think he's nuts.Eh, quite right. Adios, Walter.
Erik: he's on there.
Richard: I'll go ahead and throw Vertigo on the noms list.
IMO, this tournament could easily go to 64.Probably, but with a few problems. We'd end up with too many run-of-the-mill nutcase villains for one thing. Take the three Dennis Hopper badguys already nominated. While I will never be able to forget Frank Booth, I remember next to nothing of the Deacon or Howard Payne. And I'd really like to stay away from outright horror villains like Leatherface - if I include him, I'd be obligated to open it up to Freddy, Jason, etc.
Basically, this is what I had in mind: an eclectic selection of memorable performances.
As I stated earlier in this thread, I'd like to stick primarily with human characters, though I'll make a few exceptions for the sake of variety. Some noms are tough to call: I threw out Billy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest because, despite being crazy, he just didn't seem to fit. On a side note, I probably wouldn't accept Karl Childers from Sling Blade due to his mental retardation - some might find his inclusion here to be in poor taste.
List updated.
Brook, good call on Dr. Pretorius!
