From the Terminator to Hannibal Lecter through Wall-E or the man without a name immortalized by Clint Eastwood to name a tiny handful, the cinema has scrolled through a number of characters who have become iconic. Here are 20, to start!
With a fixed eye and a threatening gaze, like a challenge to the spectator, Alex DeLarge opens Clockwork Orange by getting ready for a small session of ultra violence orchestrated by Stanley Kubrick. The role of a lifetime, that of Malcolm McDowell, who will have a lot of trouble thereafter to get rid of a character who has become iconic and bulky.

Foreword...
The cinema has given us - and still delivers - galleries of memorable characters, to varying degrees. Hence the idea of drawing up a list of 100 characters, all genres combined, including animated films. Here is a selection of twenty of them, to start! One rule: one choice per film. See you soon for a volume 2!
