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.

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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted August 22, 2006 Share 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.

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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted August 23, 2006 Share 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.
