O Captain! My Captain!

A Salute to Great Movie Captains

Captain Jack Sparrow made a big splash in this summer of never-ending sequels. So what better time than now to pay tribute to 16 of the greatest captains in movie history. Some are good guys, some are bad, and some we’re not too sure about. What they do have in common is that they’re all really memorable characters.

This list is in rough order of our favorites, so don’t take it too seriously. Also by “captain” we mean someone that commands some sort of vessel. Therefore captains that were not considered include Caveman, Crunch, America, N, Planet, Cold, Kangaroo, and Corelli.
