Coolest movie character
Vote in poll.
Not using cool in the general, vaguely positive sense. Was trying to think up the coolest movie character the other night, have a lack of women on the list though and I'm sure I missed more.
Eh, I guess with so many options try to limit voting to 3 at max.

Hmmm.. Three? Pitt as Tyler Durden, The Bride (mmmmmmm.... Uma), Connery as Bond.

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.

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

2) Umma Thurman: doesn't need an explanation now, does it?
3) Sean Connery: there's only one real James Bond and that's Sean Connery
And my n° 1) is not on the list: Clint Eastwood aka Dirty 'Go ahead, make my day' Harry.

Re: Coolest movie character
I voted for Tyler Durdan (prefered the narrator), Indian Jones and De Niro not for his role in the Midnight run but as in lots of other films (Travis Bickle, Jimmy Burke, David Aaronson).
There should be an option for others as well, these people came to my mind as memerable characters as well:
Maximus Decimus Meridius
Hannibal Lecter
Hans Gruber
Travis Bickle

The Dude abides man, the Dude abides.
Tyler Durden next, although he's not really a movie character.
Then Jack Sparrow, he's a pirate! Of course he's cool.
