Characters You Just Couldn't Help Falling in Love With

[flemtone]

For whatever reason...

For me, it's Audrey Tautou's title character in 'Amélie', Katherine Hepburn in 'Bringing Up Baby', Drew Barrymore in 'The Wedding Singer'.

You?

I'd have to say Vesper Lind (Eva Green) from Casino Royale ... I loved how she matched wits with James Bond and put up a substantial challenge for his bullet-proof bravado. She was still able to break through all his defenses and charm and still fall for him (rather than regard him as an inferior).

Less of a heroine, but still lovable, was Audrey Farmer (Virginia Madsen) in The Astronaut Farmer. She tried to snap her husband out of his "fantasy", but she realized she was mistaken and encouraged him to fulfill his dreams.

Battlestar Galactica has two heroines I love - President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Sharon "Athena" Agathon (Grace Park).

Bryce Dallas Howard in 'The Village'. She's the best part of the movie.

Scarlett Johannsen in 'Lost in Translation'. I knew how Bill Murray felt.

Deborah Foreman in 'Valley Girl'. Ah, early 80's big-hair chicks.

I agree with Drew Barrymore in The Wedding Singer

Naomi Watts - Mullholland Drive

Jennifer Connelly - A Beautiful Mind

Renée Zellweger - Chicago

Not necessarily falling in love, but these particular characters made them very like-able.

[Marshall Jeffer]

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Secretary.
Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 weeks.
Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare In Love
Liz Taylor in Suddenly Last Summer
Tina Louise in Gods Little Acre
Doris Day in Pillow Talk

[jamesp]

Lili Taylor in Dogfight
Naomi Watts as Ellie Parker
Holly Golightly
Mina Badie in the Anniversary Party
Phobe Cates.
Natascha McElhone in Laurel Canyon.

[MikeV]

Sally Albright - When Harry Met Sally...
Kathleen Kelly - You've Got Mail

Hmmm... come to think of it, maybe I've just got a thing for Meg Ryan.

Slightly off topic... Lorelai Gilmore. I know she's a TV character, but what the hell!

[kpfluger]

Jenna Rink - 13 going on 30
regina george - mean girls
sands - once upon a time in mexico
clementine - eternal sunshine
wolverine - xmen

[Ed A.]

Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element.

[AllmanBrosFan]

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

[jbviper4]

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (especially at the polo match)

Renee Zellweger in Jerry Maguire (she had me at hello)

[karlw]

Gisele Bündchen as Vanessa in Taxi. Friggin' hot.
Kate Beckinsale as Alex in Laurel Canyon. Or anything else she's been in.

Anna Karina in Godard's 'Band Of Outsiders'.
Anne Wiazemsky in Bresson's 'Au Hasard Balthazar'.

I wouldn't say I fell in love with him, but James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano was amazing. The guy's a thug, seriously bad news, just plain mean in some episodes, yet you still had to feel for him doing what he could to put food on the table for his family. That's quality writing, when you cheer on the bad guy.

[iago]

Enid in Ghost World
Juno

[Jake West]

Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Val Kilmer stole every scene in that film.
