Memorable American Movie Characters

[Lucky Lady123]

Robin Williams plays a real life doctor named Hunter "Patch" Adams who connects with patients in a different way according to the know it alls who feel he should be treating the disease instead. He brings humor to his patients and in the end some of the "Know It Alls" come to understand his way of practicing even if it is alittle of the wall. This movie will make you laugh,cry and cheer.

There was a *very* long thread about that movie here in this forum.
Reaction to the movie was mixed.
I agree that Alexander Supertramp is a memorable character, very well-acted, and Into the Wild is quite a compelling film.

Lots of memorable characters in "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" but Agnes Moorehead as the maid is delightful:

Velma Cruther: So you're finally showin' the right side of your face. Well, I seen it all along. This is some kinda drug you been givin' her. It's what's been making her act like she's been. Well, Ah'm goin' into town and Ah'm gunna tell them what you been up to.


Velma Cruther: Think I don't know a due bill when I see one?
