Oddly enough, I think for me it'll be Marvin. Rickman was born to voice that guy. Second would probably be Galaxy Quest (which I love, unlike MST3K or Sev Trek... weird how this forum and I seem to consistently disagree on which Trek parodies are good). Another one I'll remember fondly is the HBO movie Something the Lord Made, where he plays Dr. Alfred Blalock, the doctor who basically invented modern heart surgery. It's a classic Rickman role: a man who's brilliant but flawed, somewhat withdrawn, and doesn't suffer fools.

Don't get me wrong, he was great as Snape -- but he didn't really match my mental image of the character, and that makes the role less memorable for me. I'm only a moderate Die Hard fan and haven't seen Robin Hood or Dogma yet.
