Ahnuld hosts 100 Heroes & Villains

[InsaneJediGirl]

I was not all to pleased on who was on the list or what Hero/Villian diserved what number.I think 'Mommy Dearest' should have got a better number,along with 'Creature of the Black Lagoon'.Both are better films than most listed:happy:



Vader #3?Should have switched Lector and Vader in the numbering

[Dr Zoltar]

So how entertaining was the program? I didn't watch because I'm not into the "See how America ranks the top whatever" programs. Which includes American Idol and its clones...

Vader will always be the #1 villian to me.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

For the heroes, I felt that Ben Hur (Heston) should've been on the list, perhaps in place of Moses. Rooster Cogburn (Wayne), and Superman (Reeves) should've been higher. As much as I like the character, I think Indiana Jones (Ford) and James Bond (et al) should have switched places; 20-some movies to 3 is a big difference.

For villains, Alonzo Harris (Washington) was too new for me to make the list. Joan Crawford (Dunaway) should have been WAY higher. I hardly knew a lot of the villains, especially the 30s-60s females ones.

[El Chuxter]

Hmm. I actually missed the first three or four when I saw this air, and was sort of annoyed that Alonzo Harris didn't show up. (Of course, he had already, but I didn't know it. ) That guy was scary!

[bigbarada]

Cosidering this is a mainstream media list, I think the Star Wars characters did reasonable well.

How Obi-Wan beat out Luke is beyond me, though. Ewan McGregor's protrayals were somewhat forgettable, and he's dead 2/3rds of the way through ANH. On top of that, I don't remember any kids clamoring for that new Ben Kenobi figure during the 80s. I would have put Luke somewhere within the top 10.

[JediTricks]

I think the character of Obi-Wan Kenobi, specifically from ANH, had great impact on society. I remember as a kid, all the adults thought his wizardly ways and wisdom were so wonderous... ok, I'm running out of "w" words. But still, I remember my grandparents quoting Obi-Wan when I was 4; I think the heroism from his character comes from a place of philosophy, restraint, and a great sense of wear he carried on his shoulders -- and only Alec Guinness could accomplish this with a handful of lines. Ewan is a great actor, but I don't think his portrayal carries the same amount of weight as the original. When I talk with people about Obi-Wan, they bring up the cantina, the training sequence aboard the Falcon, and the sacrificing himself to save the others - folks remember these scenes with great fondness, when they talk about them, it's with excitement and awe and even a little reverence. Obi-Wan teaches Luke to be a Jedi in the face of so many obsticles, thus he's heroic in both deed and word - Luke doesn't even do that, he learns and becomes a Jedi, but isn't a teacher, so in that regard Obi-Wan is more of a hero IMO.

[Bobajames]

so Ahnuld made both lists? Is that wuhnduful?
