Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
so will there be votes for each group?
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Oh noes!! Why didn't I look in here? No-one said Chris Chambers from Stand By Me, or Ace Merrill, or Westley from princess Bride and...and...
In Group A, Lon Chaney is the actor, not the character. That should be changed before the voting. Perhaps just clarify the source, in fairness, as (The Phantom of the Opera, 1925)
In Groups C, I, J, and L, the film The Lion in Winter currently is misnamed "The Lion in the Winter." (Look: Eleanor and Alais are already up against each other.)
In Group P, I suggest changing to Vinny Gambini (My Cousin Vinny).
I highlighted in blue the characters that will be advancing to the next round.
I'll be posting a few more groups tonight
I just want to interject that I'm shocked that 118 other characters came up before James Bond. I really am.
These are some hard groups, feev. You are a sadist. I admire that.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I realized that I missed Snake Plissken!
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
We missed a lot of good characters. I went blank whenever I tried to name people. I mean, I submitted names, but there are others that only came to mind after the nominations were closed.

Well, there's one oversight that's just unforgivable.
I don't much care who actually wins here.
The real greatest movie character of all time is plain and simple.
I would agree with you that The Tramp IS one of the greatest movie characters of all time, but I'm sure there are many here who have never seen the character in action.

Hmm i like a lot of the characters, i can already tell this is gonna be fun
that's their error and should be remedied as soon as possible.
It's not that easy to remedy though since there is very little GOOD quality video of the Chaplin films available. It's been a few years since I tried to get some, but back then most of the Chaplin films I could find (many of them classics like The Gold Rush and The Great Dictator) looked like they had been xeroxed twelve times before they were transfered to video.

I could agree that the Tramp is one of the best characters of all times, but only with my mind: because I know that it is so, and because I understand how great what he did was; but it's all purely mental activity. I am terribly bored by all Chaplin movies and his characters do not touch me in any way that would matter; I could vote for him, as it were, intellectually, but never with my heart and soul (although, once again, I understand that he is supposed to be very touching, and I believe it, and I know he is the main predecessor and essential ancestor of many a character I love). I mean, he is important for me historically, but not actually.

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
