Exclusive Cool Video: Top 10 Kevin Smith Movie Characters

With the glowing review from our very own Chris Bumbray at the Toronto International Film Festival, Kevin Smith appears poised to return to his glory days of filmmaking. While his previous horror effort, RED STATE, failed to live up to it's potential, TUSK looks like the movie we have been waiting for Smith to make for years.

Reflecting back on Kevin Smith's filmography to date, the guy has created some truly memorable quotes and characters, even in his weaker films. But, we decided to rank the best of his creations for this list of the top ten Kevin Smith movie characters. Going all the way back to CLERKS and MALLRATS through more recent movies (don't worry, we skipped COP OUT and JERSEY GIRL), we give you our favorites from Smith's three decade career.
