In amongst are real lives are the fictional creations of others, going about their daily fictional lives. With millions out there, we all have our own favourites, some of which have there own fan clubs and dedicated followers.
This particular list was quite tough to narrow it down to just 10 as there were many different considerations, but after a careful auditioning process, I settled for these 10.
Hope you enjoy.
1. Winnie the Pooh
This loveable honey loving yellow bear is a well known family character and goes by the name of winnie-the-pooh, or pooh bear.
Created by A.A Milne, the first collection of stories about pooh bear was the book winnie the pooh (1926).
A t.v series was made about the yellow bear and more recently some films, both proving to be popular.
One thing that I don't understand though is, why does he have such a small t-shirt on?
2. James Bond
In 2012 with the upcoming release of skyfall, there has been 23 James Bond films, making it the longest running film franchise to date.
The three g's (guns, gadgets and girls) have proved to be popular for viewers and I'm not sure when the franchise will end.
There have been six actors who have portrayed the character on the big screen, and they are: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig.
3. Shrek
This popular animated character has captured the heart of many a person, who when first introduced in the first film, was a mean; selfish and irritable green ogre, who enjoyed spending time alone in his swamp,
The film was a success, and was seen to be liked by adult audiences as-well, so subtle adult humour was added, but yet the simplicity and funniness for a child.
The film features the voices of Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow.
Since the first film the franchise has grown and four more films have been made: Shrek 2, Shrek the third, Shrek Forever After, and Shrek the Halls. There has also been a recent addition, with the release of Puss in Boots, the main character being the cat from the shrek films.
To be honest though, shrek's character always got on my nerves - no offence to shrek fans.
4. Darth Vader
Known by many for his famous line "Luke, I am your father", I felt that I had to put Vader on the list (even if Darth Maul was the better villain).
Vader (once the innocent little boy Anakin Skywalker of Tatooine) basically fell in love, became a jedi, became paranoid that she was going to die, ended up killing her himself, and then proceeded to fly around space blowing things with his giant death star.... all in all, a pretty nice guy wouldn't you agree.
5. Batman
Batman is a fictional comic book superhero, maybe known by children now only because of the recent Batman films, who protects Gothem city from peril.
Unfortunately for Batman, he decided to pick a tricky city to protect as its the favourite holiday destination for some nasty villians (Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, Poison Ivy and Catwoman.)
His altar ego Bruce Wayne is a millionaire (later billionaire) playboy, industrialist, and philanthropist. He is joined on many of his missions by his trusty sidekick Robin, who doesn't have the best sidekick name in the world I've got to say.
6. Superman
Superman is the second comic book superhero to make an appearance on this list, and someone who I think is more recognised for his distinguishable 'S' logo rather than himself in person.
Born on the planet Krypton, he was rocketed out towards earth by his Father as an infant, before the planets destruction. He was found and adopted by a Kansas farmer and his wife.
From an early age he developed superhuman powers (child prodigy), and upon maturity used them for the good of humanity.
His alter ego is Clark Kent and was instilled with a strong moral compass.
7. Homer Simpson
When thinking about laziness, clumsiness, greediness, crudeness, and incompetence, Homer Simpson is the first thing that pops into my head. In fact my college tutor often describes a moment of incompetence as a 'Homer Simpson moment'.
He is a main character of the animated television series 'The Simpsons' and along with his family (wife Marge, son Bart, daughter Lisa, and other daughter Maggie), have proved popular amongst many.
He has been described by the British newspaper The Sunday Times as "the greatest comic creation of modern time", was named the greatest fictional character "of the last 20 years" in 2010 by Entertainment Weekly, was ranked the second greatest cartoon character by TV Guide, behind Bugs Bunny, and was voted the greatest television character of all time by Channel 4 viewers.
8. Indiana Jones
Indy is one of my favourite fictional characters of all time, and to be honest, I haven't yet met someone who doesn't like this archaeologist. He is recognised for his notable features that include: (bullwhip, fedora, and leather jacket), deep knowledge of many ancient civilizations and languages, and fear of snakes.
He is the creation of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg created the character in respect to the action heroes of 1930s film serials.
He is one of the most iconic characters of cinematic history and I still enjoy the films now, although the ending of the last one (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) was a bit disappointing.
9. Harry Potter
Harry Potter has got to be one of the most recognised recent characters on this list.
Created by author J.K Rowling, Harry Potter is the story of a young boy who turns out to be a wizard, is shipped out to wizardry school, and in the end faces off against the main villain voldemort in the final instalment of the series (I won't tell you what happened if you haven't read the books of seen the films).
Harry Potter is the highest grossing film series ever and the brand is worth in excess of $15 billion.
Despite what he is, Harry Potter has never been able to make himself disappear from the limelight. :)
10. E.T
The extra-terrestrial (E.T) is a science fiction film co-produced and directed by Stephen Spielberg, written by Melissa Mathison.
The basic plot is about a boy named Elliot who befriends an extraterrestrial (as you do) who is stranded on Earth. Elliot and his siblings help E.T to return home.
The concept for E.T. was based on an imaginary friend Spielberg created after his parents' divorce in 1960.
This may or may not cause controversy, but I'm personally not a fan of the film.
