17. Everyone From The Blair Witch Project
Weve all been there, right? You go out to the woods to make a documentary film about a probably fictitious story of an evil presence in the woods, and you end up getting lost in an endless stretch of creepy looking trees, terrorised by an unseen entity who constructs sinister little objects and hangs them ominously around your tent and then you start hearing the disembodied voices of children in your sleep before one of your group goes missing and you find his teeth and tongue all wrapped up in a little package waiting for you and then you hear his voice and you follow it till you get to a terrifying house in the middle of nowhere in which youre finally murdered by the same presence thats been tormenting for the last few days? Its standard for the deeply unfortunate cast of The Blair Witch Project. This is why you should never leave the house, folks. Unless the house in question is the one from The Blair Witch Project. If youre reading this from that house, leave a comment and let me know. If youre the Blair Witch, stop being the guy who terrorises and murders young filmmakers. Nobody likes that guy.
16. Bubba - Forrest Gump
If you were so inclined, you could say that Forrest Gump is a film about second chances. Lieutenant Dan may be deprived of his wish to die nobly in combat, but eventually he finds love and (hopefully) happiness. He gives life another chance, finds another path. Similarly, Jenny gives up her life of (probably) unshowered hippy fun and tries settling down with Forrest. Bubba, however, does not... Forrests friend during their time in the army, hes a man with big dreams about shrimp, but is killed in combat before these dreams get a chance to come true. In this world where people get multiple chances to carve out some sort of future for themselves, the unluckiest man doesnt even get one.
