Captain Jack Sparrow should of been in the top 10. Any Actor can be a great character in a movie. But only a great Actor can be a great character in all the following sequels.
My favourite characters are: Wolverine, Harry Potter, Jack Sparrow, Forrest Gump, John McClane, Indiana Jones and Gandalf. My favourite evil characters are: Hans Landa, Darth Vader, Hannibal Lecter and the joker. Honorable mention: Maximus from Gladiator.
Harry Potter isn't one of the best characters he's basically flawless and the story just has so many plot holes. Id put boromir instead of harry potter. Way more understandable character from a better saga
So many iconic characters! 😀I love them! Jack Sparrow,Harry Potter,Tony MontanaHannibal Lector,,Gandalf,John Mcclane,Ellen Ripley,Mary Poppins,Wolverine,Rocky,Connor Macleod,Indiana Jones,Axel Foley,Darth Vader. James Bond perfect number 1!😀Sean Connery,Pierce Brosnan,Daniel Craig are perfect as James Bond! Excellent video!😀
I'm very surprised Superman isn't on here. I could see batman as well, but superman was so iconic when the movie came out in the 70s, he's at least gotta be on this list
As longtime cinephiles, we all love these movie characters, especially Darth Vader (formerly known Anakin Skywalker); James Bond; Beatrix Kiddo; Joker (played by Heath Ledger); John Wick; and Batman.

Book Harry Potter>>>>>>>>Movie Harry Potter, and not much for Daniel Radcliffe's fault, but rather due to a poor screen adaptation writing. He is underrated even in his own series and fandom. His loyalty and bravery are acknowledged over and over again, but the guy is the incarnation of post-traumatic growth: despite experiencing the loss of both his parents as a baby and 10 subsequent years of abuse and neglect from his foster parents, he is still able to trust others, enjoy life and welcome changes. Of course he has his insecurities and petty flaws, which make him more relatable. And the movies give us 1/10 of the sassy badass he is in the books. Apart from this, he should have ranked higher just for the cultural impact he had on the last few generations.
10 broken down by category: The action hero trio: T800, John Rambo, John Mcclane. The superhero trio: Batman, Ironman, Wolverine. The villain trio: Darth Vader, Voldemort, Sauron. And of course the most recognizable movie character of all time: 007
Since the title is "of all time" (not just the last 40 or 50 years) I would suggest Dracula, Tarzan, and Sherlock Holmes. I believe these have been the most frequently portrayed characters in literature and cinema.
There are also V from V for Vendetta, Anton Chighur from No Country for Old Men, Amy Dunne from Gone Girl, Terence Fletcher from Whiplash, Roy Batty from Blade Runner, Spock from the Star Trek franchise, Calvin Candy from Django Unchained, Deadpool from Deadpool franchise
No Doc or Marty McFly (Back to the Future)? No Ethan Hunt either (Mission Impossible)? To me, these are iconic characters that should have been included.
T-800 Terminator Franchise (1984-) Rocky Balboa Rocky Franchise (1976-2006) Alex Murphy/RoboCop RoboCop Franchise (1987-) John McClane Die Hard Franchise (1988-2013) Connor McLeod Highlander Franchise (1986-2007) Martin Riggs Lethal Weapon Franchise (1987-) James "Agent J" Edwards Men In Black Franchise (1997-) Eric Draven /The Crow The Crow Franchise (1994-) Stanley Ipkiss / The Mask The Mask (1994) Narrator/Tyler Durden Fight Club (1999) Catherine Tremell Basic Instinct (1992) Miklo Velka Blood In Blood Out (1993)
There are so many roles that live on even today such as Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, Captain America, Mr. Bean, Jason Bourne, Frank Drebbin, John Wayne in She wore a yellow Rose, Errol Flynn in Robin Hood, Austin Powers, Willy Wonka, The Thing, Russell Crowe as Captain Jack in Master and Commander, Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire and Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible for a start.
My top 30 favorite characters of all time: 1. Batman (Kevin Conroy) 2. The Joker (Heath Ledger) 3. Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) 4. Wolverine 5. Iron Man 6. Ceaser (Rise,Dawn,War) 7. Deadpool 8. Loki 9. Death (Puss In Boots 2) 10. Spider-Gwen 11. Woody 12. Shrek 13. Donkey 14. Miles Morales 15. Puss In Boots 16. Buzz Lightyear 17. Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) 18. Darth Vader 19. Han Solo 20.

Luke Skywalker
Riggs - Lethal Weapon Max R - Mad Max franchise Decker - Blade Runner franchise Axel Foley - Beverly The Hills Cop franchise Red - Shawshank Redemption Munny - Unforgiven Harry - Dirty Harry franchise Maximus - Gladiator
Fred C. Dobbs of The Treasure of Sierra Madre. Humphrey Bogart's portrayal of the paranoid Dobbs was a master class in acting. It was completely unlike any other character Bogart played. He was perfect.
The snubbed list: BATMAN (Various) JOHN WICK (John Wick franchise) McLOVIN' (Superbad) OSKAR SCHINDLER (Schindler's List) SPIDERMAN (Various) ETHAN HUNT (Mission Impossible franchise) DEADPOOL (Deadpool franchise) NEO (The Matrix franchise) DJANGO (Django Unchained) IP MAN (Ip Man franchise) JORDAN BELFORT (The Wolf of Wall Street) JACK TORRANCE (The Shining) KEVIN McCALLISTER (Home Alone) JUROR 8 (12 ANGRY MEN) LEON (Léon: The Professional) MAXIMUS (Gladiator) J.ROBERT OPPENHEIMER (Oppenheimer) THOR (MCU) CAPTAIN AMERICA (MCU) BLACK PANTHER (MCU)
How could you leave out: 1) Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) in Casablanca. 2) Sam Spade )Humphrey Bogart) in The Maltese Falcon. 3) Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 4) Shane (Alan Ladd) in Shane
The actors you mentioned were around in 1950s and 1960s. They are mentioning the characters that people know now. The audience who are watching the video weren't even born yet. Mention those names to GenX and they will ask, "Who are they?".
I was surprised not to see more women on this list. Dorothy, Scarlet, Mary Poppins, Kiddo, and Ripley? No others? What about characters played by Bette Davis or other greats. Or just about any role Meryl Streep has played. Obviously compiled by a man!
Ghostbusters? National Lampoons Vacation movies? Good Will Hunting? Saving Private Ryan? Lethal Weapon? Blues Brothers? Caddyshack? Jason Bourne series? The list of other considerations is long!
He's got competition. When you consider Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle, Emily Watson as Bess Mcneil, Renee Falconetti as Joan of Arc and anything Toshiro Mifune did, it's no certainty.
I was like, I swear to god, if Gandalf isn't on the list I'm gonna be so pissed. Glad to see he was. I love Gandalf. I also love Kill Bill, and was surprised so Beatrix on the cover photo. That implicitly gave me confidence in the list.
Andy Dufresne from Shawshank, Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood, Detective Summerset from Seven, Balian from Kingdom of Heaven, Tuco from Good, Bad and Ugly, Derek from American History X, Alonzo from Training Day, Narrator Jack/Tyler from Fight Club, Neo from The Matrix, Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, Annie from Hereditary, Father Karras from The Exorcist, Bulschu from Kontroll, Lilja from Lilya 4-Ever, Randy The Ram from The Wrestler, Trevor from The Machinist, Killer Joe from Killer Joe, Gollum from Lord of the Rings, Bronson From Bronson
most of those are cartoon characters, besides the list had wolverine iron man and Indiana jones. Why Nemo? Nemo's a fish that did basically nothing 90% of the movies besides being a disobedient little brat that never listened. lightning was annoying and had no real redeeming qualities to speak of, Mario is better in the video games the movie sucked, and sonic was just nightmare inducing. don't believe me, ask any child under the age of 12 that saw the movie.
Erm... there have (so far) been SEVEN actors who played James Bond on the big screen (not including the TV movies or series)... Sean Connery, David Niven (in the original Casino Royale - Niven was actually Ian Fleming's preferred choice over Connery to play 007), George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig... ... and the eighth to be... ????? 😁
Bruce and Bradon Lee, Jason Robards, Danny Kane. Rutger Hauer, Micheal Keaton, Charleston Heston, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Buster Crabbe. I have seen over 70, 000 movies from all eras.. But this a base of only a few I can name at 3AM.
1:37 That's right. Captain Jack Sparrow is the face of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Disney was stupid to fire Johnny Depp over false accusations by an evil turd. And now they're trying to make a sixth film without the one character that actually kept it all together. It's going to bomb so hard.
He may not be represented in popular culture right now but I think Colombo deserved to be on this list. Maybe a top 100 if you got time? And if you do a Top 100, Nick Fury should get a rank like Annie, Superman and Robin Williams.
3:02 Daniel Radcliffe ad-libbed that line. Jason Isaacs even said that he was shocked and stunned by that. Intimidated even a little because was so unexpected
Most of my favorite characters are from books but some of them aren’t. And actually most of them are book characters that then get turned into movie characters. 1. Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables) 2. Newt (The Maze Runner). 3. Rudy Steiner (The Book Thief) 4. Liesel Meminger (The Book Thief) 5. Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables) 6. Aragorn (The Lord of the Rings) 7. Sybil Branson (Downton Abbey) 8. Darth Vader (Star Wars) 9. Regina Mills (Once Upon A Time series) 10. Wanda Maximoff (MCU) 11. Captain Jack Sparrow (The Pirates of the Caribbean) 12. The Phantom of the Opera (The Phantom of the Opera) 13. Peter Pan (I love every single version of this character though my favorites are Robbie Kay’s version from Once Upon A Time and Jeremy Sumpter’s version from the 2003 Peter Pan movie) 14. Lucy Pevensie (The Chronicles of Narnia) 15. Galadriel (The Lord of the Rings) 16. Fred and George Weasley (Harry Potter) 17. Alice Cullen (The Twilight Saga) 18. Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter) 19. Captain America (MCU) 20. Christine Daae (The Phantom of the Opera) 21. Christian (Moulin Rouge) 22. Westley (The Princess Bride)
Im shocked Caesar from planet of the apes isn't on this list. His development and role in the trilogy is amazing and truly great. He should definitely be one of the top 10 greatest movie characters of all time.
@@avidfather1864 Right. Which movie is that from? I know Harry Potter but the line is so random and forgettable I don’t know which part of which movie it’s even from.
You were a little short on female characters. I might have included Katharine Hepburn as Queen Eleanor in The Lion in Winter, Eliza Minnelli as Sally Bowles in Cabaret, Whoopi Goldberg in The Color Purple, Barbara Stanwick in The Postman Always Rings Twice, Mitzi Gaynor in South Pacific, Barbara Streisand in Funny Girl, Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice, Keira Knightly in Pride and Prejudice, or Loretta Young in The Farmer’s Daughter. The female characters are there, but they weren’t part of action hero genres.
Dirty Harry, Mad Max, Rooster Cogburn, Tarzan, Superman, Wyatt Earp, Batman, Count Dracula, Gus Mcrea, Woodrow Call, Martin Brody, Sherlock Holmes, Conan, Billy the Kid, Zorro, Robin Hood...King Kong, Patton... the list is huge...
freddy kreuger is the goat when it comes to horror movies. as they stated, of all else, the fact that if you fall asleep youre dead. sleep is inevitable. creates the unavoidable mindest of there is no escape. love it!
Yes! J🎉ames Bond 007 Deserves his # 1 slot here. Nice to see Tony Stark, Indiana Jones, Jules Winnfield, Scarlett O'Hara, Darth Vader, Rocky Balboa (who was created by Sylvester Stallone himself), The Bride and Mary Poppins (easily the two best looking heroines on the list as well) making the grade. 👍
The choice of Ironman/ Tony Stark over notable ommissions Superman, Robin Hood or even one of Bruce Lee's characters is perplexing. Also while deserved to be on the list I'm not sure how James Bond ranks higher than The Tramp or Darth Vader.
These are the most popular characters in cinema. Not a fan of the top 2 franchises but that's just me. I am glad both Forrest Gump and Jules Winfield were on this list. Tom Hanks deserved that Oscar for his career defining performance in Forrest Gump. And Samuel L Jackson he is a bad motherfucker who I just love so much.
I don't like that everything is treated as a franchise. I like Star Wars, DC, Harry Potter, Lord of the rings, Marvel. But I am losing interest, because it is too much. James Bond is a film series rather than a franchise. If you are interested in cinema, you have so much more than just a spy-action-flick. Great actors, outstanding music, iconic settings and stunts embedded in atmospheric movies. Quentin Tarantino is a connoisseur of Bond.

Captain Jack Sparrow should of been in the top 10. Any Actor can be a great character in a movie. But only a great Actor can be a great character in all the following sequels.
Absolutely
The fact that Captain Jack Sparrow is only at number 29 should be a crime.
“You lied to me by telling me the truth?”
― Captain Jack Sparrow
🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠
Not really
Agree
After seeing the rest of the list, Jack Sparrow is where he should be.
I agree with you
Wolverine is badass!
My favorite X-Man. He's such an antihero and badass.
He sure is Woverine is the grestest comic book character of all time
Absolutely!
And my #3 personal favorite Marvel character.
Vader, Vito and Michael Corleone, Joker, Attiicus Finch
My favourite characters are: Wolverine, Harry Potter, Jack Sparrow, Forrest Gump, John McClane, Indiana Jones and Gandalf.
My favourite evil characters are: Hans Landa, Darth Vader, Hannibal Lecter and the joker.
Honorable mention: Maximus from Gladiator.
I love the realism Sylvester Stallone brought to the _Rocky_ franchise. An underdog story like his is always a thrilling one.
The fact that Captain Jack Sparrow and Harry Potter are number 29 and 28 on this list is a crime.
Yes
Either of them being on the list at all is a crime.
Harry Potter isn't one of the best characters he's basically flawless and the story just has so many plot holes. Id put boromir instead of harry potter. Way more understandable character from a better saga
HP overrated asf. Cope!

R.I.P. James Earl Jones!

Pleasantly surprised with James Bond at the top. I was expecting Darth Vader. Can’t go wrong with either
Definitely could make a part 2 and even a 3 to this.

@@hokutology1718 Ledgers Joker tops All honestly
No, it isn't. A great performance but not one of the very best.
We’re supposed to be talking about characters, not performances.
@@avidfather1864 Who's better?
Interesting list... but how do you leave Dracula (esp Christopher Lee's version) off this list?
Michael Corleone, Atticus Finch, Annie Hall, Jack Dawson, Elle Woods, Axel Foley
I can't see inspector Lee and detective James carter 😂 for rush-hour movies
Rick in "Casablanca" gets my vote for Number One!
I was like, I swear to god, if Gandalf isn't on the list I'm gonna be so pissed. Glad to see he was. I love Gandalf.
I also love Kill Bill, and was surprised so Beatrix on the cover photo. That implicitly gave me confidence in the list.
Andy Dufresne from Shawshank, Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood, Detective Summerset from Seven, Balian from Kingdom of Heaven, Tuco from Good, Bad and Ugly, Derek from American History X, Alonzo from Training Day, Narrator Jack/Tyler from Fight Club, Neo from The Matrix, Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, Annie from Hereditary, Father Karras from The Exorcist, Bulschu from Kontroll, Lilja from Lilya 4-Ever, Randy The Ram from The Wrestler, Trevor from The Machinist, Killer Joe from Killer Joe, Gollum from Lord of the Rings, Bronson From Bronson
Sonic, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Lighting McQueen, Nemo, Mario, Deadpool, Wolverine, and Indiana Jones
most of those are cartoon characters, besides the list had wolverine iron man and Indiana jones. Why Nemo? Nemo's a fish that did basically nothing 90% of the movies besides being a disobedient little brat that never listened. lightning was annoying and had no real redeeming qualities to speak of, Mario is better in the video games the movie sucked, and sonic was just nightmare inducing. don't believe me, ask any child under the age of 12 that saw the movie.
What about Darth Vader? He is a great character
Sonic?????
@@Rosewolf29 well first I grew up with Nemo and Lightning McQueen, Second, I do respect your opinion on Mario and Sonic but who asked.
@@TimberWolf_301 never been a fan of Star Wars
YOU MISSED TYLER DURDEN ??? How could you make this list without him
Easy enough
He’s obviously at least top 3, they just didn’t wanna break the first rule
Who?
Know them all, love almost them all, but John McClane and Freddy Krueger EEEEEEASILY my most ICONIC 🙌🏼
Can you do a video of unsold live action animated tv pilots please
Erm... there have (so far) been SEVEN actors who played James Bond on the big screen (not including the TV movies or series)... Sean Connery, David Niven (in the original Casino Royale - Niven was actually Ian Fleming's preferred choice over Connery to play 007), George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig...
... and the eighth to be... ????? 😁
Butch Cassidy AND the Sundance Kid.....as well as Cool Hand Luke and Jeremiah Johnson are all great characters.
Bruce and Bradon Lee, Jason Robards, Danny Kane. Rutger Hauer, Micheal Keaton, Charleston Heston, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Buster Crabbe. I have seen over 70, 000 movies from all eras.. But this a base of only a few I can name at 3AM.
Christoph Waltz is such an amazing thespian!
Haven’t they make this list like billion times already?
Awesome! Can't wait For it
Snape, yoda, Spock, Aragorn, crocodile Dundee.
1:37 That's right. Captain Jack Sparrow is the face of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Disney was stupid to fire Johnny Depp over false accusations by an evil turd. And now they're trying to make a sixth film without the one character that actually kept it all together. It's going to bomb so hard.
Do top 100 characters of all time video 😊
He may not be represented in popular culture right now but I think Colombo deserved to be on this list. Maybe a top 100 if you got time? And if you do a Top 100, Nick Fury should get a rank like Annie, Superman and Robin Williams.
3:02 Daniel Radcliffe ad-libbed that line. Jason Isaacs even said that he was shocked and stunned by that. Intimidated even a little because was so unexpected
Cptn Jack Sparrow at 29, rough start already
Nice list yes indeed this people perfect fits to portrayed this fiction characters into alive no one can replace
Most of my favorite characters are from books but some of them aren’t. And actually most of them are book characters that then get turned into movie characters.
1. Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables)
2. Newt (The Maze Runner).
3. Rudy Steiner (The Book Thief)
4. Liesel Meminger (The Book Thief)
5. Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)
6. Aragorn (The Lord of the Rings)
7. Sybil Branson (Downton Abbey)
8. Darth Vader (Star Wars)
9. Regina Mills (Once Upon A Time series)
10. Wanda Maximoff (MCU)
11. Captain Jack Sparrow (The Pirates of the Caribbean)
12. The Phantom of the Opera (The Phantom of the Opera)
13. Peter Pan (I love every single version of this character though my favorites are Robbie Kay’s version from Once Upon A Time and Jeremy Sumpter’s version from the 2003 Peter Pan movie)
14. Lucy Pevensie (The Chronicles of Narnia)
15. Galadriel (The Lord of the Rings)
16. Fred and George Weasley (Harry Potter)
17. Alice Cullen (The Twilight Saga)
18. Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
19. Captain America (MCU)
20. Christine Daae (The Phantom of the Opera)
21. Christian (Moulin Rouge)
22. Westley (The Princess Bride)
Forest Gump should be way up the list!
Im shocked Caesar from planet of the apes isn't on this list. His development and role in the trilogy is amazing and truly great. He should definitely be one of the top 10 greatest movie characters of all time.
"Don't worry, I will be." Daniel Radcliffe apparently improvised that line on the spot, proof of his amazing talent, even at a young age.
What? Random. He didn’t make this list. Nor do I know what part you’re referring to.
As if that line is that special.
@@avidfather1864
Right. Which movie is that from? I know Harry Potter but the line is so random and forgettable I don’t know which part of which movie it’s even from.
Captein willard from apocalypse now, john rambo, the genie from alladin, the princesse mononoke, will hunting, tyler durten
One i think is overlooked a lot is John Bender from the breakfast club
My favorites are jack sparrow, tiny stark, forest gump, wolverine, Deadpool, Gandalf, John wick, thanos, Marty mcfly
Jack sparrow should be higher
Agree
No.
@@rwhitey1980 kiddo cry harder
Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid Films definitely should have been on this.
Ace Ventura
You were a little short on female characters. I might have included Katharine Hepburn as Queen Eleanor in The Lion in Winter, Eliza Minnelli as Sally Bowles in Cabaret, Whoopi Goldberg in The Color Purple, Barbara Stanwick in The Postman Always Rings Twice, Mitzi Gaynor in South Pacific, Barbara Streisand in Funny Girl, Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice, Keira Knightly in Pride and Prejudice, or Loretta Young in The Farmer’s Daughter. The female characters are there, but they weren’t part of action hero genres.
0:20 Tony Montana
1:17 Jack Sparrow
6:18 Hans Landa
9:18 Tony Stark
23:59 Joker
32:53 James Bond
Antony Perkins should have placed higher
Dirty Harry, Mad Max, Rooster Cogburn, Tarzan, Superman, Wyatt Earp, Batman, Count Dracula, Gus Mcrea, Woodrow Call, Martin Brody, Sherlock Holmes, Conan, Billy the Kid, Zorro, Robin Hood...King Kong, Patton... the list is huge...
Honorable mention: Jay and Silent Bob
Tom Cruise deserves a spot for his character in Mission Impossible
freddy kreuger is the goat when it comes to horror movies.
as they stated, of all else, the fact that if you fall asleep youre dead.
sleep is inevitable. creates the unavoidable mindest of there is no escape. love it!
what about : Mad Max , Rambo , Detective Riggs , Johnny English, Conan the Barbarian, Ethan Hunt , Dominic Torreto ?
Deadpool
And Wolverine.
Great list. Dont agree with the order but thats minor. I do think doc holliday from tombstone should be up there
Yes! J🎉ames Bond 007 Deserves his # 1 slot here.
Nice to see Tony Stark, Indiana Jones, Jules Winnfield, Scarlett O'Hara, Darth Vader, Rocky Balboa (who was created by Sylvester Stallone himself), The Bride and Mary Poppins (easily the two best looking heroines on the list as well) making the grade. 👍
The choice of Ironman/ Tony Stark over notable ommissions Superman, Robin Hood or even one of Bruce Lee's characters is perplexing. Also while deserved to be on the list I'm not sure how James Bond ranks higher than The Tramp or Darth Vader.
These are the most popular characters in cinema. Not a fan of the top 2 franchises but that's just me. I am glad both Forrest Gump and Jules Winfield were on this list. Tom Hanks deserved that Oscar for his career defining performance in Forrest Gump. And Samuel L Jackson he is a bad motherfucker who I just love so much.
Hi caiti
Tom Cruise & Leonardo DiCaprio are the most popular actors in the world.
@@Mike-h8m hi julia
I don't like that everything is treated as a franchise.
I like Star Wars, DC, Harry Potter, Lord of the rings, Marvel.
But I am losing interest, because it is too much.
James Bond is a film series rather than a franchise.
If you are interested in cinema, you have so much more than just a spy-action-flick.
Great actors, outstanding music, iconic settings and stunts embedded in atmospheric movies.
Quentin Tarantino is a connoisseur of Bond.
Val Kilmer, in Tombstone. Definitely Number 1.
