Alright, this came up after I saw the Jonah Hex trailer on TV and thought, hey, I guess this means Megan Fox is his... sidekick? Well that's weird.

Is she?

I mean, she is like Marion is to Indiana Jones. But maybe that does mean that she is.

So then I thought, what makes a sidekick?

And then I re-watched a certain film that made the list here and decided to make this list, by the by, top sidekicks:

There's not much of a backstory to how I came to thinking about this. I just started thinking about what really can make a movie. And one thing that came up was an awesome death. Some films try to have an epic passing away, but only so many films have a death that is so memorable that it's an icon for years.

One of my least favorites is M. Night Shyamalan, who I believe to be the most self-promoting man in Hollywood.
