15 famous movie good guys who were also total dicks
Ah, the Good Guy. In movies, he/she is usually played as clean-cut and wholesome. But when the truly enterprising writer goes above and beyond the call of duty, sometimes character flaws combine to make a Good Guy go bad. And sometimes they're just total assholes.

Earning the right to be "borderline paedophile" - that's the REAL holy grail, right there...

I cant believe Indiana Jones is on that list???!
I almost want to say he has earned the right to be a "borderline paedophile", he's INDIANA JONES!
He rules!
Oh and Rose from Titanic- shes top of the list, complete douche bag, if only she drowned with him i might have enjoyed the film abit more!!

You guys are killing me here!! Ali added some hilarious stuff, and Matt, I did have Marty McFly on my list at one point, but I felt he had redeemed himself too much to actually make the final cut. Blindfold, I never had Vincent Vega on the list because I couldn't really consider him a good guy. He was more of an anti-hero, which is basically a HUGE dick with ears who does terrible things and appeals to only the most base parts of our psyche. In this outing, I felt compelled to attack only those characters who were presented to us as actual heroes. And yes, ET is a huge dick and a disgrace to all aliens. Making little kids cry was the single most awesome thing he ever did.

I forgot to add Batman to this list. Basically just an asshole in a cowl.

And then there's Will Smith in Bad Boys, who in order to kill one solitary drug dealer, smashes his gigantic armour-planted Hummer through an entire mountain-top shanty town in pursuit, presumably killing thousands. Dick.

Marty McFly is a prize tosser if you think about it.

In the first film, he leads his OWN MOTHER on. Then he seems more than happy when he returns to his own timeline to find his family are in a completely different situation than when he left - who knows what other lives he has fucked with in the process?!

God, then in the second film he tries to get rich off his time-travelling, in the third film he's completely put out by Doc Brown pursuing his true love.

Jesus, what a scooter-breaking, girlfriend-abandoning bastard.

I think we need to add Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction to this list. Easilly the biggest douche bag of a HERO in films in modern cinema. I don't care how GREAT and WONDERFUL everyone thinks PF is.
He gives off bad attitude to anyone he considers under him (including Bruce Willis), injects alot of heroin, and then starts to get frssh with his bosses wife, who then over doses on his stash (who is almost as much of a douche as him - so we'll let him off for that one). Thankfully he gets his dues when he crosses path with Willis' boxer again later on.

"ET was a creepy little psychic parasite"

That might just be the funniest thing ever put on paper/screen.

Wow, it's like you saw inside
my brain and wrote it out
Nice that somebody else sees Neary as an asshole, I love Close Encounters but hate how his wife is painted as a bitchqueen when all she does is care - when they kiss on the road and he's
peering over her shoulder...dick. Or she follows
him at 2am without question saying "don't you
think I'm taking this well?". Spielberg hates women almost as much as Nazis. Superb article.
