From a movie of great dignity, IMO, "Stand up....your father's passin' ,"
a film possessed of the #1 movie hero of all time (said the American Film Institute.)

Is it real? Do you see it, too? We all see it. That don't make it real.

Murph,
I agree that the AFI picked some great movies and stars but I wonder who would be #1 if picked by the general public?
I realize that, IMHO, there is no way to get a fair count from the public.
John Wayne is probably closer to most people.
I have no idea who the younger generations might think.

I wondered about that #1 status, too, when I heard it last night on the Ben Mankiewicz TCM show. So many male heroes. I wondered how the one they had decided upon had been picked. Thus, my posting it here, anticipating some conversation.
