I am of the generation that grew up with all the characters in the "vintage" John Hughes films, and sadly, shared more in common with Anthony Michael Hall's characters (especially Brian Johnson in The Breakfast Club)than I cared to admit at the time.
The main point of this post though is to react to something I came across through another link on IMDb.com - the coolest film characters of all time. This is a debate I have had many times when drunk with fellow film nuts and I can honestly say, hand on heart, that I do not think anyone has ever created a better character than that of Duncan, so wonderfully played by Elias Koteas.
The scene where he etches a carving into the desktop then proclaims to Keith "this is what my girlfriend would look like without skin" still kills me, even after nearly 20 years of knowing that line is coming.
Just wondered what you lot think? I think none so cool as Elias!!!!
