Top Ten Heroes

The hero is the reason you watch the film. Whether you like or dislike the protagonist of the film, he or she is the purpose for watching. The person you root for to succeed. A great hero has traits that enable him or her to get the job done. Each hero must battle through obstacles, some self-inflicted, to achieve victory. This is the essence of film. Here are my top ten heroes in film thus far.

Once again let me know if you agree or disagree with this list. Harrison Ford had the best writers working for him through his career. A case could have also been made for his role in "Blade Runner". You should also see these films because they are some of the greatest ever made and that is due to these classic heroes.
