Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You left me off your 100 Greatest Movie Characters list. Prepare to die.

How could you list the "100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time" and fail to list the writers who created them? It’s not surprising in a world where the director takes credit for the collective work of hundreds of artists, but PREMIERE should know better by now. While actors and directors breathe life into a writer’s work, their contribution is always an interpretation of a character that originated from the mind of the writer who first dared to stare down the blank page and provide that spark of inspiration.

—Rick Drew, Bowen Island, BC

All I have to say is, "I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too." How dare you not put one of the most belovedly hated villains of all time on your list?

—Timothy J. Salot, Bayonne, NJ

Perhaps you can explain why Ace Ventura, Judy Benjamin, Jane Craig, and Gollum are on this list and Rhett Butler isn’t. Would love to hear the reasoning for this one.

—Terry Dalton, Scottsdale, AZ

Nice job. Certainly Don Corleone is number one. But, I think you missed the moment for Lt. Col. Kilgore. I think his was the closing statement of that moment when he forlornly comments, "Someday this war is going to be over."

—Jim Bell, Portland, OR

Your issue appropriately included Peter Sellers’s irrepressible character, the hilarious Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau. It’s testimony to his portrayal of this bumbling and incompetent French detective, who somehow maneuvered his way though case after case, that it led to five (and a half) cinematic works of comedic genius.

—Andy Kossowicz, Metuchen, NJ

Props for your look at the 100 most memorable characters in films. Of course the "what about" list will be starting, so I guess I’ll join in. What about Ferris Bueller, Malcolm X, Jake and Elwood Blues, Jessica Rabbit, and Dark Helmet? So glad to see The Dude, Captain Quint, and Gollum made the list.

—Gwen Wiggins, Euclid, OH

How could you neglect to include Haing S. Ngor’s portrayal of Dith Pran in The Killing Fields or Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro?

—Jonathan Shapiro, Marina del Rey, CA

Noticed two glaring omissions on your otherwise exemplary list: Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) from Titanic. I think there are many who like to dismiss Titanic as "the boat movie," but it was the love story of the two leads that had them coming back for more, to the sum of $1.8 billion. Their story helped to emphasize all who died on that ship, being a microcosm of what was truly lost.

"The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time"-and you don’t have room for Mickey Mouse? (Black and white, of course.)

—William Sommerwerck, Renton, WA

You left out two of the biggest and best: Billy Jack and Buford Pusser. How could you? These two were icons of a generation. Have you people sold out that much?

—Vince Cornelius, Caledonia, OH

Yo, PREMIERE! Adrian weren't no librarian, she worked in a pet store. Toss my old lady some respect. And why didn't my buddy John J. Rambo make your top 100? Could John McClane "eat things that would make a billy goat puke"?

—Rocky Balboa (a.k.a. Rick Migliore), University Place, WA

In your 100 Greatest Movie Characters Of All Time article, it's stated that Charlie Chaplin first played The Little Tramp in Mabel's Strange Predicament (1914). He actually first played this character in his second movie "Kid Auto Races At Venice", released the same year.

—Robin Gottlieb, NY, NY

How can you have an 100 Greatest Characters Movie List and not include Nurse Ratched from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Louise Fletcher's chillingly clinical medical dominatrix is arguably a more widely recognized character than that of McMurphy. Also, where the hell is the Cooler King from "The Great Escape"? As that motorcycle-leaping icon, Steve McQueen defined what "cool" is all about.

—Michael De Luca, North Holywood, CA
