Phlegm Alley Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 no one and I mean no one was Cooler than Wooderson in Dazed and Confused... Wooderson: The older you get, the more rules they are going to try and get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin', man. L-I-V-I-N. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wooderson: Say, man, you got a joint? Mitch: No, not on me, man. Wooderson: It'd be a lot cooler if you diid. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 749141[/snapback] That's what I like about highscool girls: I keep getting older, and they stay the same age.
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 No Clint in Dirty Harry? Appalling. 748991[/snapback] How about Clint in Hang em High or The Good the Bad and the Ugly?
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Chaz Palmenteri in Bronx Tale..."Now Yous can't leave" Probably the coolest line ever. (Just before they beat the crap out of the biker gang)
5 Wide Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I can't believe it took me this long to remember this one but Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone was great
CosmicBills Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Two pages of additions to the list and not one shout out to Indy???? What is the world coming to?
meazza Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Possibly only Rod Bangwell in "Five Finger Discount" was cooler. 749091[/snapback] Pacino should get it for Scarface.
Cheeseburger in Paradise Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 DeNiro/Pacino - "Heat". Clint and the end of "Unforgiven". Christian Slater in "True Romance". Judd Nelson in "Breakfast Club". Kevin Smith in "Clerks". 749208[/snapback] Please tell me you were unable to insert the sarcasm smiley when referring to Christian SLater and Judd Nelson. No problem with Clint and the DeNiro/Pacino team, however. For some of the olde folks out there (stuckincincy, perhaps).....I would offer James Stewart in ANY Hitchcock movie, and certainly in Flight of the Phoenix, Henry Fonda in Grapes of Wrath, Roy Schieder in Jaws, Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle, Alec Baldwin in great supporting turn in Glengarry Glen Ross.
The Avenger Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Nicolas Cage - Wild at Heart (you may scoff at this one, but take another look at what he does to Bobby Ray Lemon) 749166[/snapback] That was one of the coolest scenes ever - perfectly scored with Powermad doing Slaughterhouse in the background - makes you just want to go out and beat someone...
Cugalabanza Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 That was one of the coolest scenes ever - perfectly scored with Powermad doing Slaughterhouse in the background - makes you just want to go out and beat someone... 749479[/snapback] My favorite part is right before the ass kicking, when Sailor just goes "uh oh," not because he has any doubt about taking this clown apart, but because he knows he HAS to and that it will land him in trouble again.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Please tell me you were unable to insert the sarcasm smiley when referring to Christian SLater and Judd Nelson.

But not "cool".) Robert Shaw, on the other hand, was cool. Someone who hasn't been mentioned - and most will disagree with, I'm sure - is Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" (the first specifically, not the second). Yes, he plays the character slightly prissy and foppish...but even ignoring the rest of the film, just the icy stare he guns down Barbossa at the end should be enough. And while I'm at it, I'll give props to John Travolta in "Get Shorty".
smokinandjokin Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Along the lines of the Wooderson nomination (which is a great call tater) I must also nominate Eric "Otter" Stratton from Animal House. On a straight coolness factor, nobody nailed it better than Otter. The speech in front of the review board (and winking at Dean Wormer after 'taking liberties' with his wife) is classic.
HopsGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Please tell me you were unable to insert the sarcasm smiley when referring to Christian SLater and Judd Nelson. No problem with Clint and the DeNiro/Pacino team, however. 749357[/snapback] I actually thought Slater was cool in that movie. He offed Drexl, schmoozed Lee, and got away with the girl and the money. Alabama said, "You're so cool." Jay in 'Dogma': "Judd Nelson was harsh." I stand by these proclamations, trivial as they may be. I'll second the Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. "It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear."
Rico Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 I'll give props to John Travolta in "Get Shorty". 749503[/snapback] Pretty cool, but his all-time coolest is still Saturday Night Fever by far IMO.
/dev/null Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 9= Benecio Del Toro in The Usual Suspects, 1995 (3%) What about Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects Sure he played a whiny gimp thru most of the movie, but the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist
cromagnum Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Robert Deniro and Christopher Walken in the deer hunter 749166[/snapback] That was a great movie and great acting and they both played their parts with realistic icy coolness...Macca Mao? The scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uu1xEL6WrQ...h=deer%20hunter
Dibs Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Sean Connery - James Bond, early version 749173[/snapback] Good call. Cool as anything & multiple movie performances of the same character. How did he not get in? Who voted for these anyway? 18 & unders? I'm trying to think of my top 10 here...... Clint - The Good the Bad and the Ugly Harrison Ford - Star Wars Trilogy...how was this missed???? Michael Caine - Italian Job Christian Slater - Pump up the Volume. Matthew Broderick - Ferris Beuller's Day off. I don't believe I'm saying this but..... Kantactu Reeves - Matrix(1)
dib Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 How about Clint in Hang em High Wasn't Raquel Welch in Hang'em high? What?
BuffaloBud Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Matthew Broderick - Ferris Beuller's Day off. 749813[/snapback] Great one there!
