I'm going with Private Joker from Full Metal Jacket. I love the whole duality of man thing,

(Born to Kill / Peace Sign)

Joker was great, but Ermy was gold in that. Animal Mother gets a nod too.

An unsung forgotten is Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax in Paths to Glory. Excellent movie, great role..

[Meat-O-Rama]

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and it's not even close.

Oddball and Crap game in Kelley's Heroes
Steve McQueen as the Cooler King in the Great Escape
Rocky and Peacock in the Devil's Brigade
Smith and Shaffer in Where Eagles Dare
Carey Grant and Tony Curtis in Operation Petticoat
Most of the characters on Band of Brothers

I'll kick in a few.

Adrian Cronauer - Good Morning Vietnam

Lt. Col. Hal Moore - We were soldiers

[viman96]

Bill Murray as John in Stripes

[trickblue]

George C. Scott - Patton. I guess that may not qualify since it is biographical...

[Hostile]

Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway in Heartbreak Ridge.
Sergeant John Stryker in The Sands of Iwo Jima.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket.
Pinkley, Franco, and Maggott in The Dirty Dozen.
Captain Hilts the Cooler King in The Great Escape.

George C. Scott - Patton. I guess that may not qualify since it is biographical...

Screw that... It counts.

The best ones are the real ones anyway...That's why I liked the Band of Brothers character so much.

Another one of my favs, Sgt. First Class William James:

Not really a military character but a character that was kind of pushed into a duty to help the military.

Carey Grant in Father Goose.

The scene with the fish always cracks me up...

[catching a fish barehanded. A fish swims toward them]
Walter Eckland: [In a hushed voice] Hey, here she comes again.
Catherine Freneau: How do you know it's a "she"?
Walter Eckland: Her mouth is open, now be quiet.

[bbgun]

Sgt. Hulka and his big toe

[Alumni2k11]

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and it's not even close.

Agreed. Hard to pick anyone but this guy.

Col. Robert E. Hogan - Hogan's Heroes.

Ugh. "Bombs."

Try IEDs.


But my fave is Gunny Emil Foley from An Officer And A Gentleman.

Tom Hanks in forest Gump.

He was a hero and a guy that lived a crazy life without much want in the world besides a girl that he loved.

He gave almost everything he had away and got shot saving 5-6 guys lives.
