For a dude that prides himself in loving old movies, and by old movies I mean anything before 1980, Timothy H. Time has six new movie characters to four old ones. This is such a slap in the face to the 300 dvds he has from the 50s and 60s. While we're on the subject of list making, during the summers I worked at the fabulous DeLorme Map Company, T-time and I would make lists of everything and anything and then vote on them. One of our original goals was to end up with a master list of the greatest people in the world (actors, athletes, musicians, actual people we know, etc.) Due to the fact that I am now residing in CT this never happened, and aren't we all sad because of it.
T-time's Top Ten
10. Captain Ron- Kurt Russell- Captain Ron
9. Mr. Miyagi- Pat Morita- Karate Kid
8. Ivanhoe Martin- Jimmy Cliff- The Harder They Come

6. Eddie Felson- Paul Newman- The Hustler
5. Captain James Hook- Dustin Hoffman- Hook

60. Terry Malloy- Marlon Brando- On the Waterfront Terry: “You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.”
59. Neil- Seth Rogan- You, Me and Dupree Neil: “Guys Night! Give it up for the guys night”
58. David Ruffin- Leon- The Temptations David Ruffin: “Ain't nobody comin' to see you, Otis! You wish you could work it the way I do, but you can't! Because there is only one David Ruffin. And without him, the Temps ain't nothin' but a group in SEARCH of a David Ruffin. Matter of fact, I been thinkin'. We should call the group David Ruffin And The Temptations. Yeah, that sound good to me. Y'all beggin' me not to leave you. And I refuse to let you go.”

53. Danny Ocean- George Clooney- Ocean’s Eleven Rusty: “Why do this?” Danny: “Why not do it? Cause yesterday I walked out of the joint after losing four years of my life and you're cold-decking "Teen Beat" cover boys. Cause the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes. The house takes you. Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet and you bet big, then you take the house.” Rusty: “Been practicing this speech, haven't you?” Danny: “Little bit. Did I rush it? Felt I rushed it.”
52. Fred Randall- Harland Williams- Rocketman Julie: “I guess I'll see you in eight months.” Fred: “Boy. I wish I had nine hundred twenty-eight dollars for every time a girl said that to me!”
