Poll: The Four Sons of Cinema

The traditional Haggadah of Pesach speaks of "four sons"—one who is wise, one who is wicked, one who is simple, and one who does not know to ask (Wikipedia).

Movie industry, like the haggadah itself, used the same types of personality in their films.

In your opinion, which of these types of characters is the most intriguing and interesting?
