    Tyler Durden (one can make all kinds of explosives using simple household items... If one were so inclined), Richard B. Riddick (They kept calling it murder when I did it), and Capt. Nathan Brittles (Don't apologize... it's a sign of weakness).

    Indiana Jones, because he's Indiana Jones.
    Jack Sparrow because he's the only charecter who jumps into a monster's mouth grinning.
    Steve McQueen becuase, well some charecters don't need explaining.

    Tyler Durden is my hero.
    I was an Indiana Jones wanabe when I was 10.
    I was a Jack Sparrow wanabe when I was 20.

    Honestly, where's Darth Vader?

    I picked John McClane, Jack Sparrow, Tyler Durden and Craig's Bond. Only one movie yet, but he already is the coolest Bond I've ever seen.

    Srr I've picked four, but Craig had to be in my picks, so did Sparrow and Willis. And Durden's too fun not to choose

    You put down the wrong Blues Brother. Shoulda been Jake, not Elwood.

    Another one worthy of mention: Paul Newman (for a lot, but especially) in Cool Hand Luke.

    Precisely.

    Because there is cool, and there is its very definition.

    Tyler Durden, because he's just crazy.

    John Mclane because he walked on glass and still messed up the terrorists.

    And of course The Wolf from Pulp Fiction because he's just a crazy professional who can take care of anything and knows how to clean.

    I bet we could make about a bajillion other "coolest character" lists, but this one is pretty darn good. Let's face it there are just too many cool characters in teh movies.
