Friday 5: Movie characters... who would I be?

So, in order to satisfy my compulsive desire for making lists, I've decided to create a regular outlet--the Friday Five. Oh so clever. So basically, a new top five list every week. Yes, this is quite indulgent, but I'm pretty excited about this. And, to start things off, this week shall be...

If I could be any movie character, who would I be?

Now, this was much more difficult than I anticipated... mostly because every time I think of a ridiculously cool character (Wolverine, Jason Bourne, Bruce Wayne, any of the Spartans from 300, etc...) I realize that they are not actually very happy people. Or they die. Who would actually want to be Batman? So depressing. So, anyways, here you go.

5. Juno (Juno) - She's sarcastic, witty and clever, plays guitar and dates Paulie Bleeker. And she has a hamburger phone.
4. Marty McFly (Back to the Future) - He travels through time, rocks out to Johnny B Goode on stage, and saves the day.
3. Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice) - She's clever, ahead of her time, makes fun of people, and marries Mr. Darcy.
2. *TIE* Eowyn (Lord of the Rings) or Mulan (Mulan) - This is a tie since both of these are really similar. They both disguise themselves as men, go to war, bring down the biggest bad guy (the Witch King and the chief Hun) and go home to marry the love of their life and be awesome for the rest of their lives. Just fantastic.
1. Robin Hood (all versions of Robin Hood movies) - Need I explain? He's an outlaw, a leader, the best archer, a savior, and he constantly outsmarts his enemy and gets to camp out in the woods with his best friends and the love of his life. And, when he dies, he becomes a legend. Pretty sweet.

Honorable mentions: Cosmo Brown (Singing in the Rain), Dana Scully (X-Files), Princess Leia (Star Wars), Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon), Tyler Durden (Fight Club), Maximus (Gladiator)

So, if anyone reads this and feels inspired, comment with your list. =)

Here goes:

Anne of Green Gables: One word--Gilbert. Need I say more?

Kathleen Kelly from You've Got Mail: She's desperately perky and friendly--also a bookworm. Killer apartment, too.

Dan Burns from Dan in Real Life: He's sincere--to a fault but totally and completely loveable.

Victoria Everglot from The Corpse Bride: I don't know why. She's just innocent and somewhat intriguing.

Elizabeth Bennet: Again, a bookworm. But, completely witty and secretly a big of a romantic. The Darcy thing helps a little too :)
