31. Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Hot Fuzz)
I'm a big fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and I seriously love their movies (although I didn't go to see Paul, mostly because Seth Rogan strikes me as someone who can make a movie go very unfunny very fast). And after Shaun of the Dead, I was most definitely looking forward to Hot Fuzz because it's essentially taking the same two actors who made one movie great and sticking them into another genre parody with hilarious results. Anyway, we first meet Nicholas after he's been kicked out of London for being TOO good of a police officer, and he also gets dumped by his girlfriend for being too caught up in his work. As a result, he moves to the countryside where there's no crime and only has himself and his peace lily. He quickly proves to be an effective police officer, but is stymied by a series of "accidents" that seem to be almost TOO coincidental to be real, and he quickly discovers that they're murders. Meanwhile, he develops a friendship with Danny Butterman, the son of the chief of police for the village, and their interactions are cute as Danny's trying to become a more successful officer while at the same time teaching Nicholas to loosen up. Anyway, it all culminates with Nicholas and Danny getting into a huge gun battle with old people, and Nicholas proves to be a funny action hero, moreso than Danny, which is why Danny's not on the list.
