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.
@@Reject101Personal No it isn't, the complaints are completely reasonable when considered the context. I was frowning too when I saw the thumbnail. That being said, I would've been quite suprised if their lists were written and edited in just mere days.
Idk about exploitive but it felt like it was more you guys taking a moment to show your appreciation for what the performance did for you guys personally. I remember thinking the same thing when Gene Wilder died and then you guys came out with your Top Character Introductions Video and had included Willy Wonka.
Alec except for the part when Juror #8 brings a knife into the jury room. Juries can’t submit their own evidence. Had the judge gotten wind of that, he would’ve declared a mistrial. (But yes, excellent film. Surprisingly, the remake with Jack Lemmon, George C Scott, and a bunch of other ringers is pretty good too.)
@@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.
It's the best movie of all cinema, no doubt. It isn't just how it influences you, it's everything, the smooth writing, the dramatic pace, the wonderful acting
@@samtepal3892 they'd probably rank the list by different qualities of fathers - in which cruelty/assholishness would likely be included. I would watch it
Agreed :) Although I must admit that I chuckled a little at the pronounciation of the title (since I'm a German native speaker). It sounded like "boot" as in shoes, rather than "Boot" as in ship, but that's no big deal. Great choice in any case - and a wonderful video ♥
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"). What an oddly specific subgenre to get highlighted! But, as these are both such excellent films, I was delighted.
Maximus is one of the greatest character introductions ever: he seems oppulent, aloof, and callous. "The risk to the cavalry is acceptable" sets him up as a villian, then we find out he's leading the cavalry himself.
Even if he didn't win, I'm glad Mr. Rogers got screen time in the "Emotionally Intelligent Leader" section. I just wish he was still around... the world was a brighter place with him in it.
Yes! It’s a crime he wasn’t mentioned! His officers and men revere him as you see when John Allen remarks to others on Aubrey’s skill and says, ‘that’s seamanship.’ Maximus should also have been here.
For those mentioning Maximus, his presence in the visual is a recognition of his value. I really, really wish Jack Aubrey has gotten the same treatment. That was such a good movie
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.
I agree! I would put Steve Zizzou from "Life Aquatic" on that list. A seriously flawed guy, who oftentimes has his priorities mixed up, but who also nonetheless leaders his crew on an interesting adventure.
I'd love to see this as a whole list. Actually two, best leader villains and also just best villains if they haven't done that yet. My number one for the latter would definitely be Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds
I know it was a mini-series, not a film, but Major Dick Winters from Band of Brothers needed a mention here. He literally lived as the front-line leader.
Was not counting on crying today and managed to tear up several instances during this video alone. Thanks for that Cinefix. Take my thumbs up you chumps.
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. That's why I think characters like Palpatine, the Joker, Thanos, Jordan Belfort, Travis Bickle, Michael Corleone, Bonny and Clyde, and others should have been mentioned or included in the video.
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.
Exploitative thumbnail aside, i was expecting to see Black Panther get a nod in one of the also-rans somewhere on the list, but to see it get its own section... I'm subscribed to this channel for its educational and detailed discussion of cinema. If i wanted a clickbait, 10-most-popular whatever video, i'd be subscribed to watchmojo.
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
then your watching it wrong. not only is this a tribute to Chadwick as not only as T'Challa, but as himself, this is a list to leaders like him. Watchmojo is all hacks doing a hack jobs. this is the real lists.
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. If anything they could of put at least multiple characters on the thumbnail.
When I saw the name of the video I thought "Kambei from Seven Samurai". It's not their fault that that film is not only flawless cinema, but insanely influential, legendarily well made and ground breaking. If I made Top 10 lists I'd be like "Okay, gotta think of 9 more movies..." :)
One of my favorite underrated leaders/captains is Kaneda from Sunshine, he has such a calm methodical approach to the literal fate of the planet and he's willing to sacrifice everything for the greater good with absolute dignity and poise
Even as he was “winning” the arguments Juror #8 never lashed out at the others... not even at the angriest of Jurors... Though not perfect Kingdom of Heavens King Baldwin IV and Salahuddin were both towering leaders of their respective groups holding them at bay from destroying each other
Richard II after watching Kingdom of Heaven, I wanted to learn more about Saladin. It wasn’t surprising that he and Richard the Lionheart had mutual respect for each other as well.
@@ReverendMeat51 agree, but the whole film doesnt do that well in my opinion. Specially the beginning and end are MEh and bring the movie down ... But some scenes and moments are just so good, the moment the two armies collide and saladin and baldwin talk so good ...
Of all the leaders in cinema, I would wilfully follow King Theoden of Rohan from LOTR into battle and even death, an inspiring, courageous and fearless leader, who can deliver one hell of a speech
Thank you. This a great list, thoughtful, & made me cry in a good way. Glad you included Erin B, not an immediately obvious pick at all, but absolutely belongs here! I'd forgotten about the brilliance of Apollo 13, thank you
it barely flashed on your clips, but i can't think of a more inspiring leader than SPARTACUS. from a condemned slave to gladiator to a charismatic force who gathered thousands that made Rome tremble--all of whom would die for him. "I'm Spartacus!"
This is only my second video from your channel, but the choice of movies is blowing my mind!!! I agree with so many choices but at the same time I'm interested to see those movies that I don't know about! E.g. Das Boot looks amazing.
I really like how this list rightly shows that true leadership and its qualities such as humility or empathy are beyond the borders of skincolour or gender. A truly powerful and relevant message during these times. Also I like how this message doesn't feel forced at all. Speaks to the quality of ur writers.
never had so many goosbumps watching your videos... awesome stuff, is a top 10 vid in movies with such an interesting twist. certainly a video to recommend
Always liked the fact that the movie kept its german title in the US. Not many forreign movies get to do that. Fun fact. In Denmark we are taught German in school. Some of us actually manage to learn the language. Still das Boot got the danish translation "U-båden" as title in Denmark when released back in 1982. Today most pepole just refer to it as Das Boot though. Now let me hear you pronounce the academy award winning Babette's Feast in its original danish title "Babettes gæstebud". I promise I will not laugh.. Maybe ;-) ;-)
The fact that so many of these leaders are fictional representations of real people shows that the real world has had so many amazing leaders that even fiction has a hard time competing with truly powerful people.
Pretty disgusting how you guys are monetizing Chadwick Boseman's death by putting him in the thumbnail to farm views while only putting him at #4, too. He probably wouldn't even be on the list if if wasn't for his recent parting which is the saddest part.
@@chaseblauvelt7008 And I can completely understand why for sure as it could be 'spoilers', it just seems pretty scummy for him to be in their thumbnail and only rank #4 however. I'm very glad he got a spot though, just really seems like something they put together BECAUSE he died though.
@@octavius8562 And that's where I agree. I think that King T'Challa deserved a spot on this list 100%. However I really think they jammed him in there because he died and he deserves more respect than that.
You guys are so amazing. However, I've gotta stand up for my boy Sean Astin, in 'The Goonies'. You missed the leaders in children - even 'Stand By Me' comes to mind. But Michael "Mikey" Walsh in 'The Goonies' doesn't only convince his team of friends to search for buried treasure to save his parent's house, he sees each of their talents, lets them shine, and inspires them as a group. I mean, this speech alone is so great...'Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.'
Thank you for mentioning "Mr. Holland's Opus"! It doesn't get enough attention as a quality movie, and I love its message that a passionate teacher can make a great difference in the lives of his/her students and that arts education is important.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO ALWAYS CRIES EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS VIDEO? I mean, every single video of this channel is so wonderfully pationated. BUT THIS ONE...man... I feel every word, every single one. It makes me remember why i love cinema. Thank you so much.
And here’s the problem with our society - it’s popular to support things in the moment instead of letting merit truly decide what wins and what belongs at the top.
I can't help but feel that if it wasn't for the recent events, Captain America would have been in this video instead of Black Panther. Black Panther may have been a King but when I think of leaders, Cap comes into my head first everytime.
The top comment by Cinemax puts some light onto that. Even for myself its a little different to understand but this was a very big and important movie for black people. Its really does deserve the respect it gets.
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.
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!
I have serious doubts that is the point. It's not because he was that good an actor whic to be fair he really wasn't. They are paying they're respects to him their list order has never mattered.
He wouldn't. But still this an homage to him. And they said it themselves: "It's on our minds right now" They didn't said he was the best leader there ever was.
Thank you CineFix. You helped me realize how to do The Black Panthers mini-series right, with the 12 Angry Men spot. You helped remind me and helped figure out an important moral aspect of a show that was much needed, to really do it justice.
Damn. I’m actually tearing up at the Chadwick Boseman tribute. I didn’t cry when I found out he died just shook but those words and how the man was finally did it.
What are you doing making me emotional? Great leaders hit deep in my soul and Chadwick's passing gets me choked up but MLK is my most respected and loved of all time. Great picks cinefix.
It really feels like the Black Panther spot was for the obvious reason rather than the right one. I love BP in Civil War but ngl he's kind of a crap leader in his own film since his best friend even turns on him and there are just so many better picks for this spot as the comments and likes are showing. We aren't just spouting hate. It just feels like you put him in for views since he's even on the thumbnail and it would've been nicer and more organic if you maybe just had a little speech about him at the start or end of the video. Again, big fan of this channel just feel a bit disappointed (not that you need to care what I think of course) about how this video was handled.
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. I get that a lot of other characters are inspired by other works (like aragon from a book), but they still don't cross the line of real human. 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
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. For me is just a bit strange the jump from fictional to real blokes that lived few decades ago. 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. Anyway, great list as usual, I missed those.
Marco Vecchi that’s fair. Though despite being a superhero film, it has a purpose and message beyond spectacle (which is why people are willing to forgive the rather poor CG of the climactic scenes). I can tell you there’s a scene that takes place in South Korea that has strong Bond vibes if that’s your thing.
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

This is only my second video from your channel, but the choice of movies is blowing my mind!!! I agree with so many choices but at the same time I'm interested to see those movies that I don't know about! E.g. Das Boot looks amazing.
let me spoil it for everyone who hasn't watched it yet. Bruce Willis's Harry Stamper from Armageddon, isn't on the list
😭😭😭
😢
It’s a better pick than black panther
😆
Good.
Yo a new cinefix movie list!! Hype hype hype!!!
I really like how this list rightly shows that true leadership and its qualities such as humility or empathy are beyond the borders of skincolour or gender.
A truly powerful and relevant message during these times.
Also I like how this message doesn't feel forced at all. Speaks to the quality of ur writers.
never had so many goosbumps watching your videos... awesome stuff, is a top 10 vid in movies with such an interesting twist. certainly a video to recommend
“The Captain Lieutenant from Das Buut.“ - As a German I am dying of laughter. 😂😂😂
Haha same here XD The title sounded like "Das Stiefel" the way it was pronounced.
Always liked the fact that the movie kept its german title in the US. Not many forreign movies get to do that.
Fun fact. In Denmark we are taught German in school. Some of us actually manage to learn the language. Still das Boot got the danish translation "U-båden" as title in Denmark when released back in 1982.
Today most pepole just refer to it as Das Boot though.
Now let me hear you pronounce the academy award winning Babette's Feast in its original danish title "Babettes gæstebud". I promise I will not laugh.. Maybe ;-) ;-)
This one got me feeling things, remembering all these inspiring characters from movies. Thanks.
The fact that so many of these leaders are fictional representations of real people shows that the real world has had so many amazing leaders that even fiction has a hard time competing with truly powerful people.
Number 4, got me in the feels man
Pretty disgusting how you guys are monetizing Chadwick Boseman's death by putting him in the thumbnail to farm views while only putting him at #4, too. He probably wouldn't even be on the list if if wasn't for his recent parting which is the saddest part.
wow these guys are pathetic
I agree but to be fair they rarely put #1 on the cover
@@chaseblauvelt7008 And I can completely understand why for sure as it could be 'spoilers', it just seems pretty scummy for him to be in their thumbnail and only rank #4 however. I'm very glad he got a spot though, just really seems like something they put together BECAUSE he died though.
This list wouldn't even exist if he hadn't passed.
@@octavius8562 And that's where I agree. I think that King T'Challa deserved a spot on this list 100%. However I really think they jammed him in there because he died and he deserves more respect than that.
I’m always so excited when y’all put out a new video.
So happy to see Juror number 8 up at the top 3. First guy I thought of when I saw the title of the video
So happy to see a new movie list! These are always excellent and well researched. Please keep them coming!
Denzel is liquid charisma is a great way to put it.
I love your intros. So epic.
You guys are so amazing. However, I've gotta stand up for my boy Sean Astin, in 'The Goonies'. You missed the leaders in children - even 'Stand By Me' comes to mind. But Michael "Mikey" Walsh in 'The Goonies' doesn't only convince his team of friends to search for buried treasure to save his parent's house, he sees each of their talents, lets them shine, and inspires them as a group.
I mean, this speech alone is so great...'Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.'
Wowowow this made me emotional. Kinda forget how important it is to see leaders in cinema, this definitely reminded me.
From the beginning I knew Aragorn would be included.
I was however a little suprised the president from Independence day wasnt included.
Thank you for mentioning "Mr. Holland's Opus"! It doesn't get enough attention as a quality movie, and I love its message that a passionate teacher can make a great difference in the lives of his/her students and that arts education is important.
Good video loved all of your picks all well Deserved but I think Morgan Freeman in glory Did a hell of a job
You overdid yourselves 💖
That bit about Chadwwick was really heartfelt and beautiful. He was the best among us. A true King.
Pfff he did jackshit movie wise, just a bandwagon to asslick dead celeberties
Not really

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO ALWAYS CRIES EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS VIDEO?
I mean, every single video of this channel is so wonderfully pationated. BUT THIS ONE...man... I feel every word, every single one. It makes me remember why i love cinema.
Thank you so much.
And here’s the problem with our society - it’s popular to support things in the moment instead of letting merit truly decide what wins and what belongs at the top.
This was truly inspirational! I loved every choice in it 🐯
Wasn't expecting to tear up watching this. Not even sure why I did. But I'm happy for it. Thank you.
The fact that you included Das Boot is brilliant!
I can't help but feel that if it wasn't for the recent events, Captain America would have been in this video instead of Black Panther. Black Panther may have been a King but when I think of leaders, Cap comes into my head first everytime.
I thought the same thing.
The top comment by Cinemax puts some light onto that. Even for myself its a little different to understand but this was a very big and important movie for black people. Its really does deserve the respect it gets.
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.
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!
I have serious doubts that if Chadwick was still alive, Tchalla would be on the list.
I have serious doubt you've seen any Chadwick films other than Black Panther
@@moviefan700 I have serious questions as to how that's relevant to the original statement.
I have serious doubts that is the point. It's not because he was that good an actor whic to be fair he really wasn't. They are paying they're respects to him their list order has never mattered.
@@moviefan700 42
He wouldn't. But still this an homage to him. And they said it themselves: "It's on our minds right now" They didn't said he was the best leader there ever was.
Thank you CineFix. You helped me realize how to do The Black Panthers mini-series right, with the 12 Angry Men spot. You helped remind me and helped figure out an important moral aspect of a show that was much needed, to really do it justice.
Damn. I’m actually tearing up at the Chadwick Boseman tribute. I didn’t cry when I found out he died just shook but those words and how the man was finally did it.
Top 10 movies directed by actors would be such a good video idea
You changed the thumbnail? That's pretty cool how you listened to criticism.
Unwarranted criticism
Holy shit, a top 10 list! I almost forgot that Cinefix existed, or that they did these! :P
Oh what a surprise, they brought up Seven Samurai again....
Oh shit love the inception misdirection and then making me cry with #4. please never stop making these.
Please don't exploit Chadwick Bosemans death for clickbait, thank you
did they clickbait? no one's finished the video
@@shan9886 he is, He's #4 thankfully.
@@shealynnicolee ah nvm then
Please exploit him more actually, thank you
What are you doing making me emotional? Great leaders hit deep in my soul and Chadwick's passing gets me choked up but MLK is my most respected and loved of all time. Great picks cinefix.
It really feels like the Black Panther spot was for the obvious reason rather than the right one. I love BP in Civil War but ngl he's kind of a crap leader in his own film since his best friend even turns on him and there are just so many better picks for this spot as the comments and likes are showing. We aren't just spouting hate. It just feels like you put him in for views since he's even on the thumbnail and it would've been nicer and more organic if you maybe just had a little speech about him at the start or end of the video. Again, big fan of this channel just feel a bit disappointed (not that you need to care what I think of course) about how this video was handled.
Thanks for introducing at least 20 good movies.
Daniel day Lewis as Lincoln ... Never been so influenced by a movie character
Agreed.
Daniel Day Lewis is an American national treasure.
I gave this video a thumbs up simply because you included Aragorn. I would want a leader just like him.
Finally a new top 10.
Finally a list where i have seen most of the movies
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. I get that a lot of other characters are inspired by other works (like aragon from a book), but they still don't cross the line of real human. 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
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. For me is just a bit strange the jump from fictional to real blokes that lived few decades ago. 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.
Anyway, great list as usual, I missed those.
Give Black Panther a watch. I agree with the pick, he is a great leader.
@@oldDNU thanks for the suggestion, I'm not really into superheros stuff but I'll give it a go
Marco Vecchi that’s fair. Though despite being a superhero film, it has a purpose and message beyond spectacle (which is why people are willing to forgive the rather poor CG of the climactic scenes). I can tell you there’s a scene that takes place in South Korea that has strong Bond vibes if that’s your thing.
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
