Clint Eastwood will always be the Outlaw Josey Wales.

John Wayne will always be COL Mike Kirby

Warren Oates may have helped gun down countless federales but he will always be Sergeant First Class Joe Hulka to me.

I liked Denzel's performance in man on fire, haven't seen the equalizer movies so don't know how he compares there.

 

How about Stallone, Rocky or Rambo?  Or maybe Expendables?:D

The entire cast of “Philadelphia Story” (1940). I can’t look at any of them without thinking of that film. 
 

William Powell and Myrna Loy in “The Thin Man” films, particularly the first one in 1934. 
 

The Dead End Kids in “Dead End”

 

Yes, I love old movies.

That was a wonderful movie, but that lapel-less jacket that C.K. Dexter Haven was wearing was about the stupidest looking thing I've seen in a while.

George C. Scott - Patton

 

The ironic thing about George C. Scott's performance is that he actually created the idealistic image of Patton that has since become a part of popular culture. In truth the real Patton was not a very imposing figure, and he had a high, squeaky voice that used to be the subject of ridicule among his peers when he was younger. He was also dyslexic, something that he tried very hard to hide which in turn likely led to his gruff, blood n' guts persona.
