Jack Torrance

I would say the real lead in Lolita is the professor (James Mason's character).

Thanks Pibby.

Added 'Prof. Humbert Humbert' at #9 and removed 'Lolita'.

DC,

You have the right two lead characters listed, Prof. Numbert Humbert and Dolores "Lolita" Haze. But, the wrong actress used as an image for her, Sue Lyon is correct and Shelley Winters is  Dolores' mother in the film.

Plus, it very confusing when using group pictures for solo character choices. There are better options available in the media index, since you first created this suggestion or last updated it.

Johnny Clay, Jack Torrance, Col Dax, or Little Alex. Tough choice I thought Tom Cruise did a wonderful job in Eyes Wide Shut, but his performance isn't as memorable to me as the first four.

Wouldn't Group Captain Mandrake or Gen Turgidson be the leads in Strangelove?

DC,
Would you mind answering riverotter's question.
Wouldn't Group Captain Mandrake or Gen Turgidson be the leads in Strangelove?
From what I remember about the film, this is mostly a tour-de-force for Peter Sellers since he not only play the title character, but two major characters. From that perspective, Dr. Strangelove is at least the titular character.
