Actually, looking over the list, it seems fairly even-handed
(especially given that it's AFI involved) on the "Everyman Hero" versus
"Larger than Life Hero". Sure, we get Atticus Finch. We also get Indiana
Jones, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Superman. I might choose different characters
for different spots on both lists, but it's not nearly as odd, to my
mind, as the "Very Interesting" list.
