Okay, trying to give more detail -- in more or less ascending order:
- James Coburn in The Great Escape: pretty much because his approach to the escape was precisely the same I would have taken in those circumstances. I thought, "this is the only one doing it right" - and he succeeded.
- Scrooge McDuck and Dr. Strange: pretty much the only two "major" comic book characters I could ever see myself as being.
- Gully Foyle: I could relate to his motivations and most of his actions, if not always to his early stupidity and brutality.
- Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia: everything except his delusions of grandeur and of invulnerability. Oh, and the silly games of "look I can burn my fingers and not cry in pain heh".
- Odysseus: pretty much everything, except I probably wouldn't be as adept at lying and bullshitting as he was.
- Ben in Night of the Living Dead: he did everything right, but I probably wouldn't be so heroic.
- Richis in Perfume: I could totally identify, with the exception of a couple of actions.
- Octavian: same
- Julian: I have seldom identified with a character as much as with this one. Probably never.
