smokinandjokin Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 This post could be met with some resistance, but hear me out...This is possibly my favorite movie of all time- I would nominate Scotty (Michael J. Fox) from Teen Wolf as one of the coolest actors. (Maybe not as cool as Wooderson or Otter or Clint, but definitely in the top 10.) Think about it. Here's my argument: -His hoops jersey said 'Beavers' on it -He was part warewolf -He surfed and did handstands on top of a moving van (Stiles' Wolfmobile) -He convinced the liquor store owner to give him and his underage buddies a keg of beer -He was amazing at basketball when he was the wolf, and he must've dropped 30 pts in the finals as white boy Scotty while leading his low-life team to the title -He sniffed out some ganja in the garage -He had the whole high school doing the Wolf Dance as he was a warewolf in a classy white tuxedo -His buddy Stiles had a whole line of Wolf tshirts and souveniers that the were selling like hotcakes. -He taught the big stud's hot girlfriend how to bowl by rubbing his wolf rooster on her ass, all while the big stud was bowling on the next lane -He played two hot chicks against each other, and ended up bagging them both Ahh yes, Teen Wolf....An American classic. Possibly the biggest Oscar snub of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Scott Howard: Listen, Stiles. Do you know anything about a rash that's going around? Stiles: Why, you looking to catch something? Scott Howard: No, I'm serious. Stiles: No... but I heard Mr. Murphy, you know, the shop teacher? Scott Howard: Yeah? Stiles: Got his dick caught in a vacuum cleaner.

smokinandjokin Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Boof? 750021[/snapback] Boof won Scotty's rooster contest in the end. The hot blonde (Pamela?) wanted him after he beat down her boyfriend Mick in the finals, but Scotty gave her the Heisman. He did give her the ole in-out in the school dressing room earlier in the movie though. Boof was cute, though not as sexy as the blonde, but it seemed like you could talk her into doing some dirty things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britbillsfan Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Mel Gibson - Payback (the man's a fool and I may never watch another one of his movies, but this is a good one and he's a badass in it!) 749166[/snapback] Badass? Heh... The original was FAR better. Lee Marvin's original kicks Mel Gibson doppleganger's arse in coolness (and coldness). And after that he would kick him in the head. Repeatedly.

River Phoenix was playing a kid who cried because he was misunderstood and prejudged. I think there is a big difference between crying and being reemed in the butt.

Angelo Maggio, in From Here to Eternity a great film. Sinatra and Ernest Borgnine went at it in film, Fatso calling Maggio "The Little Monkey" and telling Maggio that his time would come when he was in the Brig.
