A list of notable movie characters has been compiled, with some outlets focusing on the most iconic or quotable characters, while others highlight specific genres such as sci-fi or movie musicals. The lists appear to vary in scope, with some covering a broad range of characters and others narrowing in on specific categories like villains or stylish characters. It is unclear if there is a single, unified list of the "100 greatest" movie characters or if different outlets are presenting their own rankings.
