C compilers

This is newbie of me but I just want some opinions. I've searched for a compiler but I feel overwhelmed and confused on what's the best to use.

So.. my question is; What in your opinion is a good compiler to use for fooling around in C?

Vin Diesel once tried his hand at programming, but the resulting program became intelligent and tried to take over the internet. Vin had to enter the internet in digitised form to put a stop to the terror. Since then he has made it his mission to destroy all programmers.
