AFI top 50 Heroes and Villains

Anyone care to explain to me why they chose Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as heroes while Bonnie and Clyde Barrow are villains?

 

That list sucks beyond measure.

 

how the f did batman end up getting beaten out by Zoro? The Dark Knight Avenger would shove that silly shish kabob where the Sun don't shine.


and I like Gordon Gecko, because greed IS good.

 

why did i think that this was a new AFI album?

 

That is what I read it as at first OGHT. I have been getting into them lately and I was kinda stoked to see a thread on them.

 

Just posted something similar on another thread. Bonnie & Clyde were portrayed as too darn lovable to be considered villians!

 

Gotta love this villan:

20. Man, "Bambi."

It's not surprising that the villans seem a much better list that the heros.

 

Oh please. Not even close. Don Logan. Sexy Beast.



Villian, although, if he were in my firm, he would be a hero.

 

i was pleased and a bit surprised to see die hard villian hans gruber on the list - i remember seeing that and thinking 'who is that actor?!' - good call there

 

My hero Robert De Niro did not get in as a HERO.... he is in for being a villain.

 

I find it odd that only one Bond Villian made the list, and that was at number 49 with Goldfinger.

Why wouldn't Ernst Stavro Blofeld be way up this list? He defined the villianous role in the 60's.

 

I want Dr.Evil.

 

Y'all missed Lassie as a hero.

Lassie! Only if some kid is stupid enough to fall into the well for the 1,000th time!

 

how about Bart Simpson's drug dog, Cassie?

I didn't see Jaws from the James Bonds flicks, he's pretty menacing.

 

My Favorite:

36. Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper), "Blue Velvet."

 

Because Maxim's for dolts? Although your smart, slippery...

 

I'm surprised that no one from Braveheart was in the list. That might be the historical epic/heroes vs. villains movie of the 90's.

Certainly William Wallace is a bigger hero than Moses or Lassie.... Well, it's a pretty cheesy list anyway.

This list only proves that women are more evil than men, since they only landed 1 hero in the top 10 vs. 5 of the top 10 villains.

 

I'm right there with on Lassie, but I think Moses may just have been a bit bigger of a hero than William Wallace.

 

WW wouldn't have needed to part the Red Sea. He would've just turned around and kicked Pharoah's ass.
