Boots Greatest Movie Character List lists Gollem

CBC Arts news today includes a brief mention of a rating on Greatest Movie Characters, taken from the online zine Premiere. Gollem makes the top ten, but, interestingly perhaps, neither Gandalf nor Frodo make the top one hundred. However, how credible is a rating that lists Jame Bond ahead of Atticus Finch or Randle McMurphy? And what's Carl Spackler of Caddyshack doing ahead of "Bluto" Blutarsky of Animal House?

Quote:
The most recent character to break the top 10 was the "slithering, tragicomical" Gollum, as voiced by British actor Andy Serkis, from The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Here's the link:
