Make your own "Heroes and Villians List" here.

For those who has or hasn't seen AFI Heroes and Villians last Tuesday night,

here's how they would list the Heroes and Villians:

Take a look at that link and view their opinions on the best heroes and villians of all times.

In this thread, you get the opportunity to create and voice your opinions and make your own list. You can make comments on my choices or make your own if you want, it doesn't matter which.

Here is my countdown list as an example, these are just my opinions and this is the way I would write out my 100 heroes and villians, please remember to name the character and the movie title:

1. Charles Foster Kane

Reasons for choosing the number one choices in both categories:

#1 Hero: Bufford T. Pusser

This man is the true action movie IMO. He is one of the best movie heros of all times IMO. He is just a bad ass Sheriff who walks around town beating guys up with a huge oak stick. I love the Walking Tall trilogy. Bufford T. Pusser was a real life Sheriff. He became a Sheriff after he got beat up and tortured by gangsters, so he got elected Sheriff to seek revenge and justice in a legal way. Bufford T. Pusser is truly amazing. If you haven't seen the Walking Tall trilogy please do yourself a favor and see it. You'll be into a real treat. Joe Don Baker and Bo Svenson are both truly the greatest action movie heros.

#1 Villian: Charles Foster Kane

Some people may wonder why I consider him a villian. Citizen Kane is one of my favorite movies. I pick Charles Foster Kane as number 1 villian because if you think about it, the man truly was an evil man. 1) All he cared about was himself, he's a selfish bastard 2) All he ever bought was statues 3) He has a short temper and forces people to get what he wants, etc. I would consider Charles Kane a hated villian. He is just great.

There's nothing more evil than a selfish, short-tempered, statue collector.
