List: Top 3 Acts of Heroism

This week on Episode 224 of the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed the very good Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot. Using that film as inspiration, we talked about our favorite acts of heroism in film. This particular list is pretty broad, with a lot to choose from, which made our criteria this week very interesting. We were forced to get creative in defining what acts of heroism we were looking for, whether it be epic in scale or intimate at heart, but either there’s a lot to sift through when defining heroism.

On that note, what movies and acts would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:

*Keep in mind we have different criteria for each of our lists*

JD

1) Ripley saving Newt – Aliens
2) Katniss volunteers as tribute – The Hunger Games
3) Stella makes sacrifice for daughter – Stella Dallas

Brendan

1) Tramp’s act of kindness to blind girl – City Lights
2) Father Karras’ sacrifice – The Exorcist
3) Atticus / court room scene – To Kill a Mockingbird

John

1) Motorcyclist attempts to save his wife – The Cyclist
2) Bing Bong sacrifices himself – Inside Out
3) Spider-Man / train sequence – Spider-Man 2
