Movies' Characters

[jimv]

We've had such fun on our current Movies thread that I thought that I mind turn it in a different direction.  By placing a character's name on the screen we'd be asking the others if they can come with the name of the movie.  You can tell me what you think of the idea by the way you join this thread.  So, here goes:

1.  Dorothy

2.  Leonard S. Vole

3.  Pontius Pilate

4.  James J. Braddock

5.  Richard Rich 

6. Apollo Creed

7.  Aleta

8.  General Turgidson

#1 - Wizard of Oz
#2 -
#3 - The 10 Commandments
#4 - Cinderella Man
#5 -
#6 - Rocky
#7 -
#8 -

Fun thread idea, Jim!

Thanks, Ozzie!  Good start.  You got1 & 6 correct.  But, as a hint,  Pontius Pilate is associated with Jesus, not Moses.

I'm going to guess again then and say #3 - Passions of the Christ?

Ha Tim. I was going to include Captain in there also, but that would have been just too easy.

You should know a few more--several are from 'older' movies, but all from big time movies.

Elwood Dowd and Sam Spade ring a bell... I just can't place them in their movies. I'm sure someone else knows it though.

I have a wonderful picture of Harvey that was drawn and signed by Jimmy Stewart hanging in my dining room.  One of my favorites.
