The accolades keep coming for the Autobot leader, with <a href="http://www.totalfilm.com/" target="_blank">Total Film Magazine</a> naming Optimus Prime in their "Top 50 Movie Heroes and Villains list" for the year.
Optimus Prime ranked in at #30 for the Heroes for his role in the 2007 <a href="http://webmaster.transformersmovie.com/click.html?c=FLINCG" target="_blank">Transformers Movie</a>, yet his opposite Megatron was nowhere to be seen in the top 50 movie Villains.
Indiana Jones took out the #1 Hero spot, while The Joker beat out Darth Vadar for the #1 Villain.

& just think....he might have got higher on the list if he hadn't have gotten his arse handed to him on a silver platter by Megs & then upstaged by a young punk that just happened to be in the right place at the right time holding the most kickass rubix cube ever.

This list has him at number 30 for The Transformers: The Movie. That's the 1986 movie, not the 2007 one.

That's probably why he didn't rank as high; you can't give points to a hero whose only big moment in the movie is for him to get shot to pieces.
As for why 2007 Optimus isn't specifically mentioned on the list, that just points to the faulty logic in lists like this, especially this one: characters like Indy, Rocky, even Lassie and Atticus Finch I can understand them being on it (if not necessarily their rank), but what's so heroic about George Bailey? The man tries to commit suicide; Jefferson Smith belongs MUCH higher on the list in comparison. And Reese Witherspoon's "Legally Blonde" character - c'mon.
And loading up on horror-villains does not a list of Top Movie Villains make - by that logic I'd have put Dr. Phibes or Cushing's Frankenstein on there somewhere; why Drago is on the list and Blofeld isn't I dunno, and I'm sorry, but if we're gonna go the 'mindless unstoppable killing machine' route, there's no excuse for a list that includes the truck from "Duel" but totally ignores the shark from "Jaws".
...plus in regards to Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, I thought the old baroness in the braids and dominatrix outfit was a helluva lot scarier than the Child Catcher.

That list is a load of crack. James Bond should have been the #1 hero and the Wicked Witch of the West as the #1 villain. And how the hell can they include Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke and forget all about Nausicaa from Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind? She accomplished more than that outcast ever did. Lousy list.

Another worthless list...that's the problem with having so many magazines- they all have to come up with something besides ads to fill their pages with and this is the result. I really can't disagree too much with Indy for #1 but the fact that Spongebob is on the list is pathetic. First off, look up the definition of "hero" in the dictionary. Second, all those "heroes" are eclipsed by the men and women in our military, our firefighters, and police. You can't have a list of "heroes" without mentioning them at all. Therefore I give little credence to this latest list.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Your 'definition' criteria holds, but I don't think anyone's disputing the courage of real-life heroes given the nature of the list itself - the list deals with MOVIE heroes, which for the most part are works of fiction. It's nice that you thought about real heroes, though.

I'm aware of the fact that it's about movies. It's just that the people organizing the list didn't even try. Even Wizard's lists of Heroes and Villains are better than this, and those lists aren't that great to start with.
