I'm so glad that Bond is above this one "85. Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, J.K. Rowling, 1998"

This one should have been higher:
26 - Kurtz, Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad, 1902 - The film Apocolypse Now was based on Conrad's book. Marlon Brando played the wonderful Colonel Walter E. Kurtz - A truly spectacular, dark and nightmarish vision. One man's spiritual journey to terminate Kurtz's command. I recommend you watch this film.
