Some more:

I also loved Indiana Jones and have watched all three films countless times as a child. He's sort of like Mal with his foolish sense of nobility and he's a character you can really come to like and not root for the bad guys like in many films.

Alex Conklin in The Bourne Identity. Pretty much a real scumbag CIA director who leads the unit trying to catch Bourne, who was a former member. For some reason I liked Chris Cooper's direct to the point and determined performance that made the character very believable, and I much preferred him over Pamela Landy in the Supremacy.

Captain Rich in Flightplan, played by the great Sean Bean. I really want to be a pilot and I think he plays the role very well and I like his cool performance, especially in decision-making.

I like all of the Ocean's Eleven characters. They're all so cool.

Adhar Ru'Ofo in Star Trek: Insurrection. Represents me in a bad mood pretty well, as well as the darker side of me I'd rather hide and not show.

And finally, I'd just like to offer this quote from the Purifier from Riddick, "We all began as something else. I've done unbelievable things in the name of a faith that was never my own, and he'll do to her what he did to me." Linus actually improvised this line and I have heard very few lines that struck me as hard as this. Such an amazing character and the fact that he is not named really says a lot about his role. If any of you have seen the extended director's cut of Riddick he's even more amazing. You can just feel the angst and resentment he has felt his entire life, and I can definitely relate to this with some of the things going on in my decision of my future profession...

I am evil, I am sly, and if you get eaten no one will cry.

There are a lot of great characters, but ones that come to mind:

Frank Bullitt in "Bullitt" - great police officer and it helps that Steve McQueen is THE MAN

Andy Dusfrene in "Shawshank Redemption" - one word...hope

Michael Corleone in the Godfather trilogy - wonderful character dealing with his demons and Al Pacino is awesome

Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver" - DeNiro is great and I think everyone feels on the outside from time to time like Travis

Admiral Adama in Battlestar Galactica - great leader and holds strong to his morals

Thought of some more:

Chris Vaughn (Walking Tall)
Ok, so the war veteran returns home, get's tortured and left for dead. So what's he do?? Beat up a bunch of people with a HUGE FKING PLANK OF WOOD, before becoming the sheriff. Now, call me a simpleton, but there's just something so satisfying about watching a 270lb man hiting people with a plank of wood

Beavis & Butt-Head (Beavis & Butt-Head Do America)
These two dudes remind me of me and my mate Scotty so much it's unreal. Bunghole!

Gimli (The Lord Of The Rings)
A short, hairy dude with an axe. What's not to like??

Maximus Decimus Meridius (Gladiator)
A general in the Roman army, who successfully conquers all of Germania. He is promptly betrayed, escapes execution by being a total badass. He returns home to find his family raped, burned and crucified alive. He is then kidnapped, and as a slave, forced to become a Gladiator. he promptly rips anyone that comes near him a new one, goes to Rome, hands some people their asses on a silver platter, whilst attempting to return Rome to it's people, and it's former glory. He is stabbed, then forced to fight the Emporer, who he promptly kills, makes sure Rome is safe, his ex-girlyfriend and her son are safe, his fellow Gladiators are freed, then dies, to be reunited with his family in the afterlife. If that ain't the definition of a hero, I don't wanna know what is.
