Here's a scene from Sudden Impact, one of the Dirty Harry movies.
There are 5 of them : 1) Dirty Harry; 2) Magnum Force; 3) The Enforcer; 4) Sudden Impact; 5) The Dead Pool.

Man, that was hard to choose just three -- I eliminated Tyler Durden, John McClane, Jack Sparrow, The Bride (Uma Thurman), and Elwood with only the greatest of reluctance.

Vizzini from the Princess Bride.
The Blues Brothers as a duo should be there. I have an overwhelming desire to see that movie again now.
Re: Coolest movie character
Old Classic - Bruce Willis in Hudson Hawk. (Early 90's flick)
Damn I loved that movie.

Indy, Captain Jack Sparrow, and John McCLane.
I personally think Jack Burton should have been in there, but that's just me.

All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

It came to me just now, we don't have Sam in there, the Serious Sam of the FPS games!
The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Re: Coolest movie character
There is no John Wayne or Jack Nicholson... Guess Elwood gets it for me

Where's Bogart? Surely the coolest of the cool. Play it Sam!
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

In fairness, he did list "Same Spade (Maltese Falcon)". All the rest are 1960's to present.
It was funny to read:
17-year old movie = "Old Classic".Old Classic - Bruce Willis in Hudson Hawk. (Early 90's flick)Reminds me of where I am, though (a gamer's forum).
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Coolest movie character
I voted for Mifune san in Seven Samurai but..
I second the darth vader vote
I also would like to vote for Sam from LOTR
Re: Coolest movie character
Chow Yun Fat in Curse of the Golden Flower as the Emperor (especially at the end) has always struck me as one of the best (badass) parts an actor could play, just because of the sheer cruelty of his character. Darth Vader couldn't kill his only son, Chow Yun Fat killed all of his sons, his ex-wife, wife, and then some...
Re: Coolest movie character
Yea...he was quite intense in that movie...he looked like a cold blooded killer. and those assassin guys reminded me of the Immortals for the 300

Re: Coolest movie character
Adrian - you really haven't heard of John Woo or Chow Yun Fat?
Anyways, this:
Is very correct. Once Upon a Time in the West was a great movie, Harmonica would fit well up there.Or the Harmonica from Once upon a time in the West, he was so cool. A bit like Slevin actually
And do you have no Clint Eastwood roles?
And no Neo?
