Live Poll: Film Freaks

Intro:

In some movies films are a subject. The characters work at films, talk about films or just love to watch films. Some of them are real geeks, others are just part of the audience. They are mostly all freaks in a very positive or some even in a negative way.

Who of them is the most interesting film freak? There are spoiler bars on some options to prevent spoiling the movie for you.

Discuss here.

Suggestions:

The character you suggest should be a film freak in some way. That can be special scenes in a cinema or characters that talk about movies (audience/film makers). Just not each 3rd class horror movie, but iconic or somehow outstanding movies welcome. And of course non-horror movies welcome. If this suggestion has already be done, please contact me about it. Write it down here. Thank you.

Very good! I slightly remember. Wasn't it that someone came from screen to reality? It must have been nearly 30 years, since I saw it last. Maybe you can give some description like in the other options? Other ways I would have to see it again.

I recalled an amazing episode of the twilight zone

a faded film star who lives in the past by constantly re-watching her old movies instead of moving on with her life

I'm not sure if Videodrome or 8mm 

fit your list. Better leave them out.

I watched them too long ago.

I think Videodrome really doesn't fit. 8mm does fit. Joaquin Phoenix plays a clerk that knows the porn movies in the store he works. The Clerk had made some porn film suggestions to Tom Wells (N. Cage), when they first met. But I must admit, that he is not the best for this list. I'm heading for 25 movies on that list. If we got 26 and the 26th is better, I'll replace him.

They're on the list. I just searched for better images. In the case of Greg I was successful. There is a head-portrait of Earl, but he doesn't look good on it, so I took the image where they sit together. Please look at it. If you got edit's, I'll do. Thank you, Jessica. ;)

Breumaster,

sometimes my keyboard "swallows" keys. Sorry for that. 

Small particles can lodge themselves under keys. You may be able to use compressed air to free dislodge these particle and have malfunctioning keys work better. Occasionally, I will get food particles and/or cat hair lodge themselves under a key. The keyboard works much better after I clean the keyboard with compressed air.

Thank you, Dan. I'm not sure, if that isn't really the problem. I would like to have a cat, they're the most regal animals, but I'm allergic and sometimes don't have the time to care for. I don't want to neglect my pet. And I don't eat often when writing. Just sometimes.

My keyboard works with bluetooth and I guess I gotta change the batteries. Normally all keys work fine, it's just sometimes. I also  erased USB-software glitches and junk data of differnet USB-drivers. Then sometimes it runs stable for two or three weeks, but it returns after some time. The OS isn't perfect either.

Thank you very much, Peter. I've made the edits. It really sounds better. I though I got rid off the double "o" in looser. ;) It seems to stick stubborn persistent in my automatical and free writing. I go ahead with my typos and grammar. It's like in school. Practice, practice, practice, ... ;D

Many errors would be caught by a spell check, so you could consider writing text in a word processor and then copying it to IMDb.

Keeping the text simple might also help. Sometimes less is more.

@Pencho15 

Thank you Pencho. Interesting picks. I've put them all to the list. I formerly aimed for 25 options, but these candidates are too interesting to leave them out.

As long as there are no objections about typos, grammar or simmilar subjects,

I declare it as ready to go.

Thank you all for your interesting input. A good community  project.

Deleted one option: Larry Flynt.

He is not really a good option, Pencho's are way better and his legacy is more about lawsuits, than real film enthusiasm. Still ready to go.
