A few months ago, I stumbled upon a website simply known as TvTropes. Before I knew it, my eyeballs were glued to the screen and I'd spent three solid months just clicking through the pages. For this reason, I won't link to the site. I would, however, like to list the tropes that most apply to Alan. (If you want to check out the site, 1. good luck catching your eyes and 2. feel free to add to this.)
Deadpan Snarker: Alan is many things, but my personal favorite attribute of his is his sarcasm. Watch this video and tell me those reporters didn't have at least one "Heeeeyyy, wait a minute!" moment before they went to bed that night: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5MLcNwNyeE
Memetic Sex God: And how. I mean, do I really even need to expand upon this one? Probably not, but I'll share my favorite "Alan is a Sex God" meme: "Alan Rickman can cause orgasms by looking into your eyes and whispering his name."
Fetish Fuel: Again, self-explanatory. For me, though, I think his eyes and hands are my favorite parts. And Teh Voice, of course.
Shown Their Research: Whenever Alan does homework for a film, you know he's going to show it. My favorite is in Snow Cake, where he deliberately kept himself ignorant about autism to make Alex's responses to Linda more believable.
Crowning Moment of Awesome/Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: I'm sure we could have hundreds of discussions about Alan's CMoA's, but my personal favorite is when he was asked, during an interview, if he'd ever leave Rima for a twentysomething starlet- "Er, no." Never even been tempted? "No."
