I'm often drawn to characters who are going through personal changes based on the given situation. For example, in The 13th Warrior despite that Banderas is a big name, I far more enjoyed seeing how he learned from a group of "noble" barbarians, taking the time to dwell on comments or situations with which he was presented.
However, one of the finest movies for this was Never Cry Wolf, based on the book by Farley Mowat. The central character is not heroic, not statuesque or especially noble; in point of fact the opening scene is all about his fears and doubts as he sets off on this highly personal adventure of spiritual change and the shift of his weltanschaaung.
It's always hard to create a memorably compelling film. So much depends on the screenplay and the casting, and even when both are excellent, a bad director can still make something that should be solid gold into a pile of mud.
It's interesting to read the comments here- the supporting actors are often the key to a good movie, and I see that a lot of folks here appreciate the good supporting actors.
