AFI's Top 50 Heroes
& Villains |
Last night the American Film Institute (AFI) revealed the top 50
heroes and top 50 villains of all time in AFI’s 100 Years… 100
Heroes & Villains three-hour television event hosted by Arnold
Schwarzenegger, who earned both a hero and villain honor for his
portrayal of the "Terminator."
Star Wars was well represented in this list starting with Obi-Wan
Kenobi who was ranked as the # 37 hero of all time for his role in
Star Wars A New Hope. Next on the list was Han Solo who was ranked
as the # 14 hero of all time for his role in Star Wars A New Hope.
Then the Granddaddy of them all was Darth Vader who was ranked as
the # 3 villain of all time for his role in Star Wars The Empire
Strikes Back.
Now before you get too disappointed that these were the only 3 in
the top 50 winners of all time, realize that almost no other movie
in the list had more than one character at all. Most of the movie
character winners were created long before our time. Lots of black
and white films and even a silent film. So I would consider this a
great feat to have three in the top 50. Congratulations George
Lucas!
