Jack Sparrow at number one? If we're doing that, then why aren't Jason Bourne, Bridget Jones, Annie Hall, or Shrek on there?
Frodo making the top 50 feels a bit much. I mean, sure, they're fine characters, but in the top 50?😕 I was actually looking for names like Michel Poiccard, Rick Deckard, or Catherine Tramell on this list. Personally, I'd swap these guys out:
Mark Renton 👎 Begbie 👍
Neo 👎 Ag.Smith 👍
Princess Leia 👎 Nurse Ratched 👍

Also, Harry Callahan definitely deserves a spot in the top 20. And where's Doc Brown from Back to the Future?
Looking toward the future👎 , seeing the Man with No Name sitting all the way at 81 is a stretch. 😕
I'd probably trade Mad Max for someone like Riggs.
What do you all think?

Ali največi im je promašaj što nema Virgil Hilts iz The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 🙂
I they probably should have thrown in Amon Goeth from Schindler's List too; you don't just forget a character like that 😂

Jack Sparrow is the first one up?? Based on what criteria exactly? That's just sad.

Why is Jack Sparrow at the very top? Honestly, he shouldn't even be on this list—that arrogant jerk.

I’d definitely put Tony Montana in my top ten. Honestly, putting Melvin Udall in the top 10 too... that guy is just incredible. As for Jack Sparrow, whoever has him at number one—in my book, he wouldn't even crack the top 50. And Hannibal Lecter at only 10? That's just sad. I didn't notice if Sam "ACE" Rothstein was mentioned anywhere here.

Give me a break. Joe Pesci completely outshined Robert De Niro in that flick. Nicky Santoro—that scene with the pen in the neck was brutal.
🙏

movie 😕

Where is Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
Benicio del Toro gained about 45 pounds for this role. It’s a cult classic.

Peter Sellers playing Inspector Kluzo😍 ???

Is Jesus really about passion? 😂

Mostly, it's the simple-minded who follow these rankings, and those even more dim-witted cling to them like a drunk to a lamppost. I mean, look, it's not exactly wrong, but the moment I see Jack Sparrow—and let’s be clear, the guy is interesting and entertaining enough—he's placed forty-five spots ahead of Tony Montana.🙏) 😂 Sonya from Dog Day Afternoon simply isn't there. 😲Wolf from Pulp Fiction is nowhere to be found.

No, listen, that whole ranking system is so incredibly subjective that I have absolutely no clue why anyone feels the need to call it a list. Best of the best. I'm not entirely sure what that's supposed to mean.🤷 Perhaps it would be more appropriate to focus on the most interesting ones. We could even categorize them—comedies, horror, dramas, sci-fi, and so on.

Look, instead of actually putting effort into making decent movies—and developing actual characters—they just settle for mediocrity.😁 They pull these kinds of stunts... and what can you even say about it?

There’s just no Predator or Alien hanging around flipping through junk mail.

Interesting.
Sparrow is way too high up, while Renton is sitting much too low.
A lot of names are missing from this list.

I don't give a damn about anything else—this is easily the greatest character ever conceived:



🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

In my estimation, Hannibal Lecter is the absolute pinnacle of character design; I have yet to encounter anyone quite as deeply disturbed.

Forrest Gump?!?! 😠

Or maybe I was just reading way too fast... 🤷

...

And honestly, he isn't even there either... 😲

This is easily number one out of the 100 dumbest "Top 100" lists ever made... ☕

Just look at who ended up in first, second, and third place and you'll see exactly what's going on. ☕

Jack Sparrow is total garbage.👎

Michael Myers should have been included in this list too... he's an absolute legend of the horror genre.🙏

Look, we all know lists like this are nothing more than a collection of subjective opinions anyway. I honestly don't get why people stress over stuff like this—it’s just noise. Personally, I just scroll right past it.
