Likable Characters in Movies?

I'll start with Charles Driggs(Jeff Daniels) in Something Wild.

 

Navin R Johnson

 

Not a movie but I'm reminded of Simon the Likable from Get Smart

 

My list-
1. Christopher Reeves' Superman
2. Indiana Jones
3. Doc from Back to the Future
4. Butch and Sundance
5. The Dude from Big Lebowski
6. Jake and Elwood Blues
7. Woody and Buzz from Toy Story
8. Yoda
9. Andy and Red from Shawshank Redemption
10. Sam from Lord of the Rings

 

Woody in everything thru Manhattan and sporadically afterword
Walken in Biloxi Blues
Hanks in Big

 

Emma Stone in "Easy A"...also, her parents from the same film (Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci).

 

I've pretty much liked him in all of his movies...

 

who can deny Don Knotts in all of his characters in film!

 

Sam Rockwell

 

You think Sam Rockwell is likable in all his movies? He's played some seedy characters...

 

Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird
Frances McDormand in Fargo

 

Pruitt Taylor Vince

 

Bruce the shark in Jaws III in 3D since there were no likable characters in that one.
King Kong in the original and the Peter Jackson remake.
Samwise in LOTR

 

Dennis Quaid usually played likable characters, even his take on Jerry Lee Lewis.

Tom Hanks, the same, even when he plays a crank like the FBI guy in Catch Me If You Can.

I think Tom Hanks is the most notable actor in recent times who almost always seems likable in his roles.

 

Ed Wynn's Uncle Albert from Mary Poppins comes to mind. I actually like him more than Mary Poppins herself!

Jon Cryer's Duckie from Pretty in Pink made me wonder what Molly Ringwald's character ever saw in that other guy

Paul Dooley was a great dad in both Breaking Away and Sixteen Candles

The Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy

Pretty much any character played by Peter Ustinov was likable, but my first thought was his old man from Logan's Run (this cats scene was particularly charming):

 

When your younger and you watch films like Ferris Buellers day off or Police academy you obviously think Ferris & Mahoney are cool, as you I got older I realized I despise people like that, James Bond as well, he's a horrible psychopath dickhead.

 

most def on Quaid...and Hanks...2 of my favs.

 

Seymour from Ghost World.

Sad and pathetic, and yet, ultimately likeable:

 

Michael J Pollard in anything, but especially Bonnie and Clyde.

 

Just another random bastard! He hates these cans!

 

Cary

 

SCRAT from the first ICE AGE movie.
I greatly enjoy the simple humor in this character.

 

Gromit, from any of the Wallace and Gromit films and shorts.
He is a very likable character, and a great character as well.

 

Mr Bobby Duvall.

 

James Garner in just about anything.
