Updated Lists:

After I finished watching the Coen Brothers movies I had never seen, I decided to go back and watch some that I had not seen for years. I watched The Hudsucker Proxy before I even knew who the Coen Brothers were, and had seen both Barton Fink and Miller's Crossing only once almost a decade ago. After re-watching these and a couple of others, my lists have shuffled a bit.

My list of Favorite Founding Father has also shifted slightly, after reading the biography of Alexander Hamilton. My impressions of AH had primarily come from the biographies of Jefferson and Adams, both of whom despised Hamilton. Hamilton's negative character traits were thus the most discussed aspects of him, and his positive character traits were downplayed. Whereas, after reading Jefferson's biography, I only disliked him more, after reading Hamilton's story he has risen in my esteem greatly.

Favorite Founding Fathers

5. Thomas Jefferson - Everyone on this list had flaws, sometimes major ones, but Thomas Jefferson's entire life revolved around thinking one thing, saying another, and doing a third. His hypocrisy and duplicity make it impossible for me to regard him with the same respect I once had.
4. George Washington - Washington did many great things and had many great attributes, not least of which was the foresight to realize that giving up power would gain him far more prestige and fame than hoarding it. But the more one reads about GW the more one realizes that there is no way to fully know, humanize, or understand him. He spent his entire life striking a pose.
3. Benjamin Franklin - Franklin is another one whose reputation (often false) is more knowable than the man. He never stopped joking around long enough to ever be entirely truthful about himself, and didn't believe in giving his opinions. He had the greatest timing of anyone, was one of the most intelligent, and probably the most outright charismatic.
2. Alexander Hamilton - His life reads like fiction. An adventure story. Young man born illegitimate in the Caribbean to a line of Scottish nobility, orphaned and persecuted at a young age, distinguishes himself in every way he can, is sent to America for education, arrives just in time for a revolution, becomes the right hand of the commander-in-chief, becomes a war hero, marries into one of the the richest families in his chosen state, has incredible political highs and lows, and is finally killed in a duel.
1. John Adams - Adams' downfall (in regards to posterity and his position within the American pantheon) was his unrelenting truthfulness, both with others and with himself. While Alexander Hamilton would be most comfortable with the modern world, John Adams was the most like a modern person. I believe that is why he is only now enjoying a surge of popularity and historical vindication, because until the present time people just hadn't caught up with the type of person he was.

John Dickinson remains my honorable mention, for all the same reasons.
