I, too, chose Sonny. Mainly because, Sonny is my big brother. My brother had a bad temper but a warm heart and every time I watch the movie I think of my brother and my relationship with him. Mt brother, sadly, is deceased now and I think the greatest tribute to him is Caan's portrayal of Sonny in The Godfather.
Sonny seemed to be the nicest of all of the characters. I even found him to be a little nicer then his father (i.e. Vito refused to get involved in Connie's marriage because it wasn't his business vs. Sonny beat the sh*t out of Carlo). Of all of the characters, I would have liked to see him the most in the following movies, but his death was appropriate to his personality. He died, in short because of his temper, but it was really because he was defending his family.

I voted for Sonny also. For exactly the same reasons that are mentioned above. Me, I like a guy who is loyal, protective of his family, has a big heart, but won't take any shit from anybody! His temper got him into trouble. Look at how he lashes out a Tom and then immedeatly says " I'm sorry, I didn't mean that...." He is sincere in everything that he does, be it kicking somebody's ass, or taking care of his loved ones, he is 100% either way! Don Cardi

I'd have to go with Michael; he was the most intelligent, by far, and seemed to pick up a handful of traits from the Don. Although, he is the last person I would go to for relationship advice...

I will stir things up a bit here and vote for Connie.
Here's why.
The family was always a patriarchal organization in which women played virtually no role whatsoever. The character of Connie over the course of the three films goes from the girlish bride swooning over Johnny Fontaine, to the abused spouse "spoiled guinea brat," to the person indirectly responsible for setting up Sonny, to an irresponsible mother and slut, and then grows to become arguably Michael's closest confidante and aide. It is she who orders the hit on Zasa, and it is she who poisons Altobello. She is the first Corleone woman to partake in hits. She is also the keeper of the dark secret of Fredo's murder by Michael as we see in the scene in GFIII when Michael tells her he went to confession.
It is also she who ushers Vincent into the family business and ensures his place as Michael's successor.
For sheer growth and development as a character, I give her the nod.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."

I voted Sonny, best character in any film, ever, my personal favorite. I loved every moment he is on screen.

santino am the best; no doubt about it! I dont care if he was hot headed. People say it's his downfall but thats why I realy liked him. If anyone had beef with him he would blow their brains over his nice Ivy League Suit. I just thought it was so great the way he did things and he was the king of fighting. You cant realy call him hot headed though for going after carlo. I would do the same if someone was dishing out beats to my sister. But vito wouldnt have done anything to protect connie from carlo and i was so pissed off and glad santino gave him a beating. Santino was and is my favourite charecter. I dont think they killed Carlo slow enough.

I really like Tom, Michael and Sonny. Tom is played beautifully by Robert Duvall and I really think there is more to Tom than we see in the films. How does he really feel when Michael says he is not a "war time" consigliere and so on?
I like Michael as well. His development from the start of I to the third movie. Al Pacino does a great job. Just imagine yourself Robert Redford in this role!
Sonny is not a good Don according to Vito, but he's a great character. Some temper! The scene where he beats up Carlo is just magnificent. It's actually (perhaps not a suprise) doned in Simpsons as well in an episode where Marge starts bodybuilding.
Fredo is not my favorite, neither is Conny. Both are interesting, but they are not as good as the other three.
