Voltaire 5,491 Posted April 4, 2009 OK. My thinking was character but fock it. We've combined lots of categories already before we even started, we'll do the same now. You can take an actor or a character or a character portrayed by multiple actors in different movies. All are fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,491 Posted April 4, 2009 3.8 Queen Elizabeth I - Famous Woman Elizabeth's 45 year reign was quite prosperous and is largely considered a golden era in English history. She spoke five languages and was widely considered the best educated woman of her era. This was during the age of exploration when Drake and the rest came to America. English drama flourished (the era of Shakespeare and Marlow). She brought religious stability. It was during her reign that England defeated the Spanish Armada and become Europe's dominant nation.

FeelingMN 273 Posted April 6, 2009 3.11 Gandhi - Insurgent Could possibly serve as an Action character too. Don't a lot of Indians ride atop of trains? Plus, the part in the movie where he fights a crocodile with his left hand and a tiger with his right, while surfing on the Ganges is the most exciting part of that film. Which is saying a lot because that film was very exciting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
