Anyway, without further ado, I'll start off with a couple of mine:
RIFF-RAFF (The Rocky Horror Picture Show)
(http://www.rockyhorror.com/images/downloads_pics_12.jpg)
I think the best thing about riff-raff is maybe simply his voice. Also, his entrance, his dancing...okay, he's just fucking cool.
Best line: All of them.
EVIL GENIUS (Time Bandits)
(http://media.outnow.ch/Movies/Images/1981/TimeBandits/dvd.film/26.jpg)
Costume by Giger, lines by Micheal Palin and Terry Gilliam, acting by David Warner. There's very little that could be better about Evil Genius. Highlights are his insane ways of disposing of his foes (and indeed henchmen), his obsession with technology, and his lines.
Best lines: "If I was making a universe, I wouldn't have messed around with butterflies and daffodils, I'd have started with lasers, eight o'clock day one!" *makes a decisive gesture, accidentally incinerating a henchman* "Sorry."
Evil: "God isn't interested in technology. He cares nothing for the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time, forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!"
Robert: "Slugs."
Evil: "Slugs! HE created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?"
DR. PRETORIUS (The Bride of Frankenstein)
(http://www.sensesofcinema.com/images/directors/05/37/brideff2.jpg)
Camp, evil, deranged, and the best mad scientist EVER.
Best line: "Have a *insert something here*, they're my only vice!" (he has many vices. He also drinks gin out of laboratory glassware.)
LORD SUMMERISLE (The Wicker Man)
(http://www.silvascreen.co.uk/productimages/WM-001.jpg)
Mild-mannered, jovial, mysterious, and, as he points out to Howie, a very religious man. One of Christopher Lees best, and most complex, roles. Indeed, it was written specially for him as his escape for Hammer Horror.
Best line:
Sergeant Howie: "And what of the true god, whose glory, churches and monasteries have been built on these islands for generations past? Now sir, what of him?"
Lord Summerisle: "He's dead. Can't complain, had his chance and in modern parlance, blew it."

Oldboy's Oh-Daesu
I can't begin to gush about how much i love this film, two of the greatest characters to ever interact with eachother in a sadistic plot of revenge.
(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/shotgunmouse/oldboy.jpg)
Oldboy's Woo-jin Lee
The second of the two, and an equally amazing performance as well. These two are most solid on-screen pair since Brad Pitt and Ed Norton.

Slim (Lauren Bacall) from To Have and Have Not. Innuendo in a 40s movie, not an ingenue, intelligent, and uber-contralto which earns her points with me.

Not quite as memorable as Tony, but he was an excellent character. Especially because the guy who played him wasn't even an actor; he had originally been hired as security for the movie set or something like that, and they decided to give him a part.

Fuck yes. The fact that noone else has said, fuck yes also makes me sad. The bit where she goes "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school" was originally "I want to have your abortion" the producers wanted it changed so the director made changed it to the grade school line and they BEGGED him to get it changed back.

I love the movie, the book is one of my favourite books of all time and I honestly think the film completely keeps the spirit of the book while working as a film and is one of the best book to film translations I've seen.
I also agree with Marla Singer.

I'm reading the book and I actually just noticed that. The line is sooo very creepy in the book and I think it is a lot more suited to her character 'I want to get pregnant so I can have your abortion' or something along those lines suits Marla Singer a lot more I think.
Also Gregory Peck as Atticus in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
