Don't have time to make a list right now - I'm on the run, and DON HO, you never answered the question I emailed you twice, and I'm put out about that! Grrrr!
But, on the films...
Man On The Moon certainly had an unforgettable main character...have to point that out...
My favorite recent film is "Magnolia", where ALL of the characters are captavating.
My favorite "classic" film is "Sunset Blvd", and it's 100% for the character of Norma Desmond, played by Gloria Swanson.
