Heroes 29-20

The next part of the heroes...

29. Spiderman: Great character. I'd probably have him higher on the list if the movies did not have the two worst actors ever (Toby Mcguire and Kristen Dumb).

28. Creasy: Man on Fire is another great Denzel movie that is under-rated. Creasy is a great tough guy that falls for a little girl and in the end...well, rent the movie and see.

27. Rudy Ruettiger: Who doesn't at least know of Rudy? Every time some scrub on a team makes something happen you here jokes about Rudy. If he hadn't played for Notre Dame he would move up at least 5 more spots.


26. John Rambo: Sylvester Stallone is one of my favorite actors and he has two on the list. Bet you can guess the other one. But Rambo is another great series.

25. Ethan Hunt: Mission Impossible is a great series of movies. And as much as Tom Cruise is crazy in real life, he is a great actor.

24. Sparticus: Classic movie. Great character. I still remember the pepsi commercial that referenced the movie with the whole "I am Sparticus" scene.

23. Jefferson Smith: I love the older movie "Mr. Smith goes to Washington". Jimmy Stewart is great in this role as a young senator that learns of the corrupt politics in Washington and then defeats it.

22. Detective John Mclain: Die Hard is classic. I am also a huge Bruce Willis fan. His role as this tough guy is great.





21. Daniel Larusso: Jamey's favorite character of her teen years. The Karate Kid is a classic movie and the kick in the end will forever be remembered.


20. Thelma Dickerson and Louise Sawyer: Classic movie again with characters everybody knows.

I'm pretty sure Thelma and Louise was not a 'classic' movie...

I love Man on Fire. What a powerful movie.

Man on Fire is very well made. It's pretty violent, but I love it. One of Denzel's best roles for sure.

Also, I love that you gave a shout out to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It was the movie that made Jimmy Stewart a household name.
