Local Sith Lord Makes Good...

The British magazine Total Film recently published the results of a poll of favorite film characters: guess who made the number two slot? Duh duh duh duh-dah-duh duh-da-duh!! Your favorite Sith Lord and certainly mine, DARTH VADER. Here’s how the rest of the list broke down;

1. Jack Sparrow
2. Darth Vader
3. James Bond
4. Indiana Jones
5. Gollum
6. Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver)
7. Ellen Ripley (Alien)
8. Michael Coreleone (The Godfather)
9. Han Solo
10. Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs)
11. Batman
12. Maximus (Gladiator)
13. Tyler Durden (Fight Club)
14. Jason Bourne (The Bourne Trilogy)
15. Yoda
16. Bridget Jones
17. Shrek
18. John Mclane (Die Hard)
19. Norman Bates (Psycho)
20. Clarice Starling (Silence of the Lambs)

It goes without saying I wouldn’t have put Vader in the number two spot. At the risk of getting sucked into the pop culture obsession with lists, here’s my top 5:

1. Darth Vader
2. Captain Kirk (“Khaaaaan!!”)
3. Indiana Jones
4. Jason Bourne (the trained assassin you’d have no problem taking home to meet mom)
5. Mickey Mouse (yes, seriously. What kinda mickey mouse list do you think this is?)

What does your list look like? Feel free to opine below.
