Top 10 Movies with Nameless Characters


ooh that movie was amazing but what was
the guy’s name again the column mail
isn’t though welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 movies with nameless main
characters also known as a poster for
this list we’ve picked movies famous for
never mentioning the real name of their
protagonist not even in the sequels
Beatrix kiddo
here however characters who have come to
be known by nicknames or who have
unofficial names do count you don’t need
your ID for this one so let’s begin our
countdown why not mr. pink number 10
layer cake my name if you knew that
you’d be as clever as me Nicky Santoro
Tony Montana Vito Corleone this British
gangster or as he calls himself
businessman I’m a businessman whose
commodity happens to be cocaine could be
in a Hall of badass fame with these guys
but we wouldn’t know what to write on
his plaque I didn’t want to add my name
to that list referred to in the credits
as quadruple X Daniel Craig’s character
is a meticulous cocaine peddler in
London and his last gig before
retirement turns out to be more
difficult than he originally planned you
enjoying this grittier faster and more
emotive than most movies of its kind
this thriller with the nameless antihero
definitely takes the cake what I’m on
but for me this is all over number nine
with Neil and I what’s your name not the
second British cult-classic on our list
this comedy follows the misadventures of
two unemployed and quite unintuitive as
they leave their boring town in search
of excitement and for once I’m inclined
to believe that with know is right we
are indeed drifting into the arena of
the unwell making an enemy of our own
future instead they find that life
without a job or skills or sobriety can
be quite hard to maintain stub love
them.if notice is serious the narrator
of the film who is named Marwood in the
screenplay but never given a name in the
film needs absolutely no introduction
you’re thinking of changing my name he
does that himself as he stumbles into
one hilariously awkward moment after
another let me tell you something mister
if he comes into my room again it’s
murder and you will be held responsible
in law number 8 Bad Lieutenant I’m a
Catholic if you have things to hide and
have a long way to go on the road to
redemption you don’t want people knowing
your name yo yeah who’s four was in mine
as a cop trying to investigate a rape
case while battling addiction and
wrapped in corruption The Bad Lieutenant
doesn’t know where to begin
atoning for all he’s done so in this
neo-noir crime drama he takes us on a
raw exploration of human emotion and
character that is haunting and yet
immensely satisfying
show me man show me my number seven
Beauty and the Beast it would give me
great pleasure a tale as old as time
song as old as rhyme Beauty and the
Beast in this beloved tale of
appearances love and companionship while
seeking adventure and a different life
independent bookworm Belle finds a beast
along the way with whom she falls in
love while fans and the Internet claimed
the name of the Beast is Adam this is
not canon and it’s been denied in
official Disney addresses but remember
the beast is mine but what’s in a name
anyway oh you look so so stupid number
six the Mexico trilogy let’s play who
needs a name when you have places to be
and people to kill known simply as el
Mariachi this musician was not looking
for trouble even know my name but
trouble heartbreak and loss found him so
he seeks revenge against those who’ve
wronged him while hiding from the law
and criminals alike action-packed
exciting and extremely sensual this
three-part tale of sex drugs and guitar
cases full of weapons never gets old
number five drive what do you do I Drive
this guy likes to keep things mysterious
like other similarly criminally inclined
drivers before him Ryan Gosling’s
character spends most of his life in
cars fixing them at the shop doing
Hollywood stunts in them driving
criminals in and out of jobs
as the film engulfs the audience in a
violent brilliant portrait of a troubled
man who’s trying his best
we’re captivated as the drivers life
gets a little Messier and more and more
out of control
number four V for Vendetta
remember remember the fifth of November
when an ultra vigilant government is on
to you having no name and a cool mask on
are very useful things you must tell us
the identity or whereabouts of codename
V refer to as V in both the film and the
original comics this antihero fights for
Anarchy freedom and justice are you like
a crazy person I’m quite sure they will
say so as the mask and the man behind it
become an idea in this revolutionary
political tale it’s fitting that the
wearer is anonymous
number three Reservoir Dogs for the past
15 minutes now you’ve been drawing on
about named committing a crime with
strangers you don’t even know the names
of is probably not easy
yeah they don’t know what names but they
can be singing about this place in
Quentin Tarantino’s fantastic
directorial debut six thieves who have
never met are hired to pull a diamond
robbery together but things don’t go as
planned although we don’t know their
true identities it’s clear that mr.
orange mr. pink mr. blonde mr. white mr.
blue and mr. brown have made an
entertaining violent and witty
impression on us all why can’t we pick
our own colors number two
Fight Club I am Jack’s smirking revenge
oh we’ve learned by now from our list
that no name is needed when you have a
bad ass story gentlemen welcome to Fight
Club the nameless narrator of this cult
classic is flawlessly played by Edward
Norton who finds remedy for his insomnia
in attending support groups as well as
in gathering a secret Fight Club with
his friend Tyler Durden
you Tyler Durden the narrator is
memorable in more ways than one so much
so that the movie never needs to name
him to ensure he’d go down in pop
culture history what did she just call
me say my name before naming or not
naming rather our number one pick here
are a few honorable mentions we will
survive this we are not gonna quit
I can quit what’s your name stop no
names just from getting too familiar the
OPM a quirk yeah Mayo means then tongue
looming then looming the end
congratulations your nerves oh it’s okay
shot alone
everybody’s yeah subjected to mistakes
and wrongs no therapist can know as much
about you as I do never won the dollars
trilogy see that’s what I want to talk
to you about here is a man you
definitely don’t want to mess with Clint
Eastwood plays the fearless renegade
cowboy and both the dollars trilogy
and his performance in it would become
the gold standard within the genre of
spaghetti westerns if you shoot me once
he ascended money although he has a
different preferred nickname in each
film the trilogy and his character would
become most well known as the man with
no name which you have to admit inspires
more respect than any name they could
have given him and it also sounds really
really cool you see in this world
there’s two kinds of people my friend
those with loaded guns who dig you dig
do you agree with our list this is so
fun stupid what are your favorite movies
