Cinema's Top 10 Leaders of All Time

[@CineFix]

To address the comments concerning the inclusion of Black Panther in the video and on the thumbnail, I want to shed some light on how we produce these videos in part to assure you that our intention was certainly not to be opportunistic or exploitive. Movie Lists are planned well in advance of their release. This particular video was written nearly a month ago and the edit had been in progress for a while as well. The video was not conceived as a reaction to Chadwick Boseman’s death, but, as we feel Black Panther is a worthy and important inclusion on this list, a leader as good as any portrayed on film, the Black Panther section needed to acknowledge his passing over the weekend. In the past we have paid homage to actors we admire and characters who are important to so many, and will continue to do so in keeping with the spirit of our channel, which is a celebration of those parts of cinema that have been most meaningful to us. However, we hear you about his inclusion on the thumbnail, and that it might be in poor taste, so we’re changing the cover image. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

[@timewave02012]

​@@oldDNU Judges will also try to block nullification, and that's undeniably an intentional feature of the jury trial. As for jurors bringing in new evidence-while tainted evidence of guilt needs to be ignored to disincentivize police from gathering evidence in violation of our rights, I don't see anything morally wrong with jurors bringing in evidence that helps the defendant. Sometimes it's easy to forget that the legal system was designed to be biased in favor of acquitting the guilty over convicting the innocent.

Indeed! That movie is spectacular and a wonderful piece of taut drama. On a side note, I thought it was interesting that two other submarine leaders got a mention in this video (Ramius from "Hunt for Red October" and Hunter from "Crimson Tide").

[@felixcrookston2237]

I would've liked to see a spot focused on a "flawed leader." Most portrayals of leadership in film aren't relevant to real life because real people don't always do the right thing. Someone like Aragorn who can resist the temptation of the ring Isn't likely to exist in real life. Obviously that's fine because that's film and it would be boring if everything was hyper realistic. I just thought that would have made for an interesting spot.

Kind of disappointed the lack of "bad" leaders in the list. Many times the villain is the counterpart of the established, both for a fictitious world and for the real one.

[@jasonblalock4429]

I agree with the sentiment, but some of those aren't even leaders. I mean, Travis Bickle? His whole thing is that he's an emotionally stunted angry loner who can't connect to other people. OTOH, you could make a strong argument for Tyler Durden for his ability to insidiously radicalize people without them even realizing, or Hans Gruber for having genuinely excellent people-management skills alongside equally excellent strategizing.

How is this clickbait you seen t'challa in the thumbnail and he's in the video It would be clickbait if they put him in the thumbnail and not mention him at all and I think t'challa does deserve a place regardless of Chadwick's passing (may he rest in power) but t'challa has all the qualities of a good leader while at the start of the movie the is stuck in his ways but towards the end he learns to be a good leader is to not be afraid to listen to others and actually use those ideas and do what's right for you and your people

No guys!! that's not what he means by click bait..... We know tchalla is in the video! It's the fact that they put his face on the thumbnail. Anybody who wants clicks can easily come up with an easy idea like " top 10 leaders in movies" and then put a character which the actor literally died not even 2 weeks ago on the thumbnail cause they know that people will click on it.

[@YourTheManNowDawg]

Captain America was a guardian of the people while Black Panther was a leader of the people, which I think is the greatest distinction in leadership between the two. While Steve Rogers would leave behind more idle leadership roles in the active pursuit of what is "right", T'Challa became a world leader, sharing the massive scientific and social advancements that Wakanda had to offer. Steve would lead heroes to battle, but he wouldn't be the one to put the world back together. Both are great leaders in their own right, but only one is a true MCU world leader.

While some of these pics are agreeable, I think choosing real leaders, like martin luther king (or putting them in honorable mentions for other), is wrong.

Regarding Black Panther, I haven't watched the film so I cannot express the opinion, but it seems (bt the narration) that it was influenced by recent events regarding the actor, not the character

[@CineFix]

Seen a few comments about the inclusion of real life leaders along with fictional characters. The purpose of the video was to highlight movies that portray the many different facets of good leadership, and we certainly talked about whether or not to include biopics with fictional characters. For the structure and theme of the piece, we decided it made sense to include all the portrayals of leaders in our consideration. Re: the inclusion of Black Panther, there's a pinned comment at the top addressing that.

@@CineFix ok I see your point and respect it. It is just a little bit weird for me: MLK, Mandela ecc were all great leaders, but I wouldn't associate them in cinema.

Maybe is beacuse they are of our times; with some historical characters or even anciet ones, that are thoundands of years old (moses in the ten comandments for example) I would have had the same feeling, but less strong.

Daniel day Lewis as Lincoln ... Never been so influenced by a movie character

[@juliánito59]

Agreed. Daniel Day Lewis is an American national treasure.

[@cinemaphiles5404]

The fact that you included Das Boot is brilliant!

[@MrTurtlelove7]

Did you just... use someone’s death as clickbait?

[@axnyslie]

My immediate first thought seeing the thumbnail image.

[@currently7886]

Its free real estate

[@kostajovanovic3711]

Never been on watchmojo, i see

[@sFoster83]

Black Panther actually made ZERO sense as a leader. His introduction was all about being isolationist and putting the safety and future of his country first. Then in the conclusion he sacrifices all of his citizens and destroys his entire country all to protect vision. One fucking dude that isnt even a human. He destroys wakanda for that? IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE if you watch the original movie. its like.. it s like.. it was written by two entirely different people. with different ideas of the character. and ZERO CONSISTENCY

[@boundbythecurve]

Oh what a surprise, they brought up Seven Samurai again....

[@theworstgamerever9997]

Number 4, got me in the feels man

[@ErickGarcia-qs2yh]

Finally a new top 10.

[@eljdemp]

Oh shit love the inception misdirection and then making me cry with #4. please never stop making these.

[@AustinH7]

Ah yes my favorite movie character , MLK.

[@malleableconcrete]

Its pretty awkward, they were talking more about the actual real person rather than how he is presented in the film.

[@JJGGYT]

So happy to see a new movie list! These are always excellent and well researched. Please keep them coming!

[@youandme9569]

Where is President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho ? The greatest leader ever known to man !!! It takes a special kind of talent to become a leader of men when everybody is smarter than you.

[@oldDNU]

You Andme you know, Camacho’s greatest attribute was recognizing when he couldn’t solve a problem, so he found someone smarter than him to help. That takes a lot of humility.

[@coeusdarksoul2855]

Holy shit, a top 10 list! I almost forgot that Cinefix existed, or that they did these! :P

[@slashbash1347]

You changed the thumbnail? That's pretty cool how you listened to criticism.

[@andrewlaxton50]

Unwarranted criticism

[@Zsac]

Awesome as always. Though I did spot you reusing footage several times. is it me, or is this vid more haphazard than usual? Anyway, still no competition and still loving it. Thank you!

[@kamagoong]

Damn you, Clint, for releasing those onion-cutting ninjas.

[@edwardloduca5975]

Great List!
