[Antonio]

OK, so I created the MOST UNSYMPATHETIC CHARACTERS topic. Let's talk about something/someone positive and discuss the most sympathetic leads. My choices:

MALE
Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) in DONNIE DARKO
Carlos (Fernando Tielve) in THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE

FEMALE
Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in HALLOWEEN
Lt. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in ALIENS
