Along Came PollySandy Lyle (Philip Seymour Hoffman) Let's face it, This guy is the ONLY reason to see this movie. Hoffman's performance enhances it big time. "I tried to fart and a little shit came out. I just sharted. Now let's go."

Garden StateAndrew Largeman (Zach Braff) The modern day Holden Caulfield, this sarcastic, apathetic individual longs to simply FEEL something. "We may not always be as happy as you always dreamed we'd be, but for once, let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is we are."

Garden StateSam (Natalie Portman) The eccentric girl who can't stop lying, yet just has that overall likeability to her. "Ooh, great job man! I really thought you were retarded. I mean, you're better than that Corky kid and he's actually retarded. If there was a retarded Oscar you would win, hands down, kick his ass!"

Saved!Cassandra (Eva Amurri) A Jewish girl who ended up in a Christian school, and has learned NOT to put up with the Christian schoolgirls' shit. Instead, she has some wicked fun with these people. Still, deep down, she has a heart of gold. "Piss off, asshole! Oh, and another thing? No more muffins for you! The muffin shop is closed!"

The Perfect ScoreFrancesca Curtis (Scarlett Johansson) This wasn't exactly the perfect movie, it wasn't even that good, really. But Scarlett Johansson is great in everything she's in. And let's face it, I just like looking at her.

MiracleHerb Brooks (Kurt Russell) Yeah, I know. Not a character, but still a great performance by Russell, wouldn't you say? "Great moments are born from great opportunity. That's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played them ten times, they might win nine, but not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate. Tonight, we stay with them, and we shut them down, because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players, every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done, it's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"

HidalgoFrank Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen) Again, not quite a character, but they way Disney altered the story, he'd might as well be one. One of the rare instances where that was not necessarily a bad thing. Hopkins was cool. "Mister... you can say anything you want about me. I'm gonna have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way."

The Passion of the ChristJesus (James Caviezel) Again, not a character, but still a powerful performance by Caviezel. "Woman, behold your son. Son, behold your mother."

The Passion of the ChristMary (Maia Morgenstern) Quite possibly the greatest female performance of the year, Maia Morgenstern's lines were few, but powerful. If she doesn't get nominated for an Oscar, I will be pissed. "Why is this night different from every other night?"

Starsky & HutchDavid Starsky and Ken Hutchinson (Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson) Talk about one awesome satire of the series, Stiller and Wilson were great. "I like your style." "I like your moves."

Starsky & HutchHuggy Bear (Snoop Dogg) Let me start by saying Snoop Dogg will never, ever be this cool again. Ever. But he was cool here. What can I say? "It's a '76. Won't be out 'til next year. But I know some people that know some people that robbed some people."

Napoleon DynamiteNapoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) The character I quote most. This guy has some of the greatest one-liners ever. "Last week, Japanese scientists explaced... placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Lochness to blow Nessy out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessy Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally."

The Girl Next DoorEli (Chris Marquette, far right) The porno-obsessed teen who found out his friend's girlfriend was a porn star. This guy was the best part of the movie. "Fine! Goddamnit Matt! I swear to God if you don't fuck her, I'll kill myself! Matt! Please! Please! Matt! Fuck her for me! For me!"

13 Going On 30Jenna Rink (Jennifer Garner) An entertaining character made that way by Jennifer Garner's heart-stealing performance. "Can you tell I'm wearing underwear? 'Cause I totally am."
