Top 10 Movie Heroes of All Time | A CineFix Movie List

In this thrilling edition of CineFix Movie Lists, our intrepid cinephiles attempt to create the ultimate movie hero! Not content to just rattle off 10 different kinds of heroes, this list looks to layer one trait on top of the others to slowly assemble a character that represents everything we could ask for from a cinematic champion. So here are our picks for 10 heroic characters with traits that add up to the… you know what, let’s just stick with the headline, the 10Best Movie Heroes of All Time!
Heroes of course mean different things to different people, which is what makes this exercise so much fun. If you need a dash of morality in your hero, why not try Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird or Jon Snow from Game of Thrones? Don’t forget to add some underdog hutzpah with Rocky or Lagaan or even Shoshanna from Inglourious Basterds. Quentin Tarantino has you covered if you need some anti-hero tossed in there as well, with Django Unchained or Pulp Fiction or The Bride from Kill Bill. James Bond might fit in there as well, but 007 is more the “superman” archetype than anything else. The point is, everybody’s hero ought to be different, and digging in to the individual traits that make up your personal favorite movie hero is an illuminating exercise!
Our Picks:
10 - The Moral Superhero - Amélie Poulain from Amélie (2001) Audrey Tautou, dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet
9 - The Underdog - Clarice Starling from Silence of the Lambs (1991) Jodie Foster, dir. Jonathan Demme
8 - The Accidental Hero - Detective Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun (1988) Leslie Nielsen, dir. David Zucker
7 - The Everyman - Chihiro Ogino from Spirited Away (2001) Rumi Hiiragi (Japanese), Daveigh Chase (English), dir. Hayao Miyazaki
6 - The Impervious Everyman - Indiana Jones (1981 - Present!!!) Harrison Ford, dir. Steven Spielberg
5 - The Superman - Diabolik from Danger: Diabolik (1968) John Phillip Law, dir. Mario Bava
4 - The Anti-Hero - Sanjuro from Yojimbo (1961) Toshiro Mifune, dir. Akira Kurosawa
3 - Somebody Else’s Hero - Miss Honey from Matilda (1996) Embeth Davidtz, dir. Danny DeVito
2 - The Joseph Campbell Model - Chief Brody from Jaws (1975) Roy Scheider, dir. Steven Spielberg
1 - Self Sacrifice - The Iron Giant (1999) Vin Diesel, dir. Brad Bird

Three words: Sam Wise Gamgee. He begins the journey not knowing what it will cost him, but even when he comes to realize the true cost he completes his task because of loyalty and love. Not only this, but he never lets go of hope and gives that to Frodo even when he has no reason to. A true hero in every sense.

That’s two words; Samwise Gamgee… I’m sure you’ve done this for comedic effect but in further comedic effect, he is not exactly wise. A simple wisdom of decency but not full headed wisdom.

@willamos6926 6 ай бұрын

I know this is a movie list, but in the book, his simple heroism from the spider attack through the rescue of Frodo is remarkable. He is terrified. He is convinced that he has no chance of success. Before he finds Frodo, he sinks to the depths of despair. But he presses on, and on, and on. When he, in hopelessness, sits in the tower and sings a song of The Shire, I am moved to tears. Movies too frequently discount courage, depicting decisions to press on in the face of complete terror lightly, often with a wisecrack. Courage is not the absence of fear. It is persevering in the face of fear.

I think an argument could be made for Uncle Iroh from Last Airbender. He was a villain who, through loss, changed his ways, is a part of an underground society to keep balance in the world, and who has made it his personal mission to prevent his nephew from going down the same path he did and to treat everyone with love and kindness wherever he goes. But when push comes to shove, and that balance or his loved ones are threatened, he is still 100% the Dragon of the West

I'd have thrown in Lupin III as the antihero personally. He's a lovable idiot at times, all while remaining, and consistently proving, that he's the world's greatest thief. He's clearly got a heart to the point where he occasionally lets Zenigata catch him just so he feels like he's doing his job (only to inevitably escape in one way or another), and always does the right thing when it comes down to it. I do recognize, though, that he may stray too close to Chihiro considering most of those traits were imbued into the character by Miyazaki in Castle of Cagliostro, but the counterpoint to my counterpoint is that that was decades before Spirited Away and you could make an argument that he was, at least in part, the mould in which Chihiro was formed. Also, the fact that the majority of his character-building comes in shows, not movies, may disqualify him. Regardless, he's a fantastic character (as are the whole gang) and I'd love to see him at least mentioned in one of these wonderfully thought-out lists.

Atticus Finch,in my view,is the greatest hero of all time. A single father who puts himself on the line to enact justice and change, even if it's in his own little corner of the world, is the most heroic act of all time. Unfortunately, with To Kill a Mockingbird being banned in so many schools, this hero is not getting the attention he deserves. We can all be Atticus Finch because we can all choose to fight the status quo and the injustices of our time. Atticus Finch will always be the greatest literary and cinema her of all time.

Not only is your list amazing, I have watched about 90% of all of these mentioned, but the way you talked about Spirted Away reminded of why I started my independent production house.

he wouldn't have done anything without FRANK! Frank manipulated him in order to save his own life, save the girl's life, and as a bonus to catch the pedophile guy lol...except that actually gets undone with the portal, hmmm...and then again, Donnie wouldn't be alive in the first place for any of that stuff to happen unless Frank intervened to make him leave the house...it's a strange loop.

So glad that Chief Brody is on this list, that is my favorite movie of all time and his character's odyssey is the reason.

Jaws is my favorite movie of all time and I consider it virtually flawless! I'm glad Chief Brody is on this list, let alone high on the list!!

Yes!! I was looking for this comment. 100% agree. I picture his face as he stares at the boat before he goes out on the boat, when I need courage. I feel his dread, but he still does it. Wonderful, actor.

I love your lists so much I could make a Top Ten List of reasons they are great. While I’m only half way through this list, I know this will be #1 on my list of My Favorites of Your Lists.

My fav hero is Frodo Baggins. He’s a kind, gentle, and considerate person. One day, he’s called to travel to Mordor and toss the ring into Mount Doom. He’s at first hesitant but accepts. The main reason why he’s my fav hero cause he takes job even tho it’s a treacherous, grueling, and dangerous journey. Despite the risks of bein seriously injured or possessed by the ring, he agrees and takes on the task at hand.

@ABannerSoftly Жыл бұрын

Yes. Not only that, carrying the ring for so long, and the wounds he suffered along the way, changes Frodo to such an extent that he can never recover. The book and movies both end with Sam going back to his family. But for Frodo, there is no going back.

Very good list! Yep, I'll also go with the Iron Giant. I felt that.

Just lets me point out that Donald Duck's Italian Super Hero alter-ego started as a spoof of Diabolik, and that's why he's called Papenirik (Paperino, his italian name + Diabolik). Now he's more of a Batman spoof though

In Norwegian he's called Fantonald, and seemed to me like and obvious parody of The Phantom. Maybe that was only the later editions.

@Isabel-qu3hl Жыл бұрын

In Germany he is Phantomias, a parody of Fantomas, or maybe The Phantom.
