(in alphabetical order) 1.) Akhenaten, aka Amenhotep IV (1352 - 1336 BC) 2.) Alexander The Great (356 - 323 BC) 3.) Queen Boudicca, aka Boadicea (died 61 AD?) 4.) Emperor Claudius (but only as fancifully depicted in the BBC mini-series "I, Claudius") 5.) Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603 AD) 6.)

Sauron (from the book "The Lord of the Rings" by J. R. R. Tolkien) 10.) Prince Vlad III Dracula, aka Vlad the Impaler (1431 - 1476 AD) 10 FAVORITE ASSASSINATIONS
1.) Gaius Julius Caesar (44 B.C.) - the part where he looks over at his trusted friend Brutus and says "Et tu, Brute" - the whole assassination is worth that one moment 2.) Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus aka "Caligula" (41 A.D.) - there are lots of great Roman assassinations, but I especially love the way John Hurt dies in "I, Claudius" 3.) Thomas a Becket (1170) - assassinated not by Hashshashin, but by the knights of Peter O'Toole - er, I mean Henry II 4.) Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (1914) - his assassination started one of the most aesthetically interesting wars of the 20th century! 5.) Leon Trotsky (1940) - done with an ice axe - how cool is that! 6.) Mohandas Karamchand "Mahatma" Gandhi (1948) - that such a man of peace should die in this way - ironic, no? 7.) Sonny Corleone (1948) - a fictional assassination, but a really good one! 8.) John F. Kennedy (1963) - the "Gone With The Wind" of assassinations! 9.) Lee Harvey Oswald (1963) - the "Wizard Of Oz" of assassinations! 10.) Malcolm X (1965) - gangland-style shooting meets high-profile political assassination - tres sophisticated! |
