Winslow Leach "The Phantom"

The Phantom
The Phantom of the Opera may have been a tragic figure, but the Phantom of the Paradise was a bit of a nerd. Let’s explain a bit shall we?        


We will go on record stating our love for the 1974 cult film, but when we first meet the talented composer, Winslow Leach, he is brought to us a nebbish goofball of a man who was easily manipulated by the music guru, Swan. After a series of events only possible on film transform into the Phantom, we have a character that is equal parts cheese and dark. This was a love it or hate it movie, and if you love it, does not the title character deserve a vote?  



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Actor:
William Finlay

Songs you might remember:
Faust
Never Thought I’d Get to Meet the Devil

Why you should vote for him:
This is the title character after all.

Why you should not vote for him:
Like many cult films, it does not have a mass audience.

Winifred

Winifred
In Robert Altman’s “Nashville”, we really only saw one star that would do anything it took to make it to the top. Winifred left her husband shows persistence that is unequalled in modern cinema and received her shot in the most bizarre set of circumstances imaginable. Does this kind of perseverance deserve a Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame entry?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Nashville (1975)

Actor:
Barbara Harris

Songs you might remember:
It Don’t Worry Me

Why you should vote for her:
Well, she did make it at the end.

Why you should not vote for her:
She was not the most interesting character in the film.

Willie Brown
Although we can’t say that this was our favorite film, we are big fans of Joe Seneca’s performance in Crossroads. Seneca played Willie Brown, a former Blues Harmonica great who as it turned out, along with legendary Blues great, Robert Johnson, sold their soul to the devil to gain their skills. We did not see enough his musicianship, but we did like his acting.




The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
Crossroads (1986)

Actor:
Joe Seneca  

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for him:
Could we be alone in loving his performance?

Why you should not vote for him:
This was not a film that did well in the box office.

William Williams

William Williams
Although William Williams (Chris Klein) did not compete in the American Dreamz singing competition, he won the annual event though it was not as if he was able to enjoy the win, as his victory was essentially a suicide mission. As strange as it sounds, it was all part of an American Idol parody that doesn’t always hit the mark; though we think Chris Klein would be better if her died in all of his movies.  




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
American Dreamz (2006)

Actor:
Chris Klein

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for him:
Well…he did win after all.

Why you should not vote for him:
He won after he committed suicide on live television. What kind of Hall of Fame entry is that?
