Poll: Biographies of Movie Characters

This is a re-creation of a poll by borimor that was published on April 13, 2014.

If movies were real, and you had the choice to select which movie character biography or autobiography to read, which one would you choose? Remember that biography focuses mainly on obscure parts in the character's life, like his/her childhood or what happens after...

Note: The list does not include characters based on real people.
