Empire names the 100 Greatest Movie Characters Of All Time

Fanboys can sit and argue the semantics of how this list was decided upon (and I’m sure many will disagree with the #1) but I have to say, it’s pretty good. Good to see Marty McFly, Ash & Tequila make it on the list. We’ve listed the top 50 here but if you want to see the full ride, head on over here to Empire Magazine’s web site.
