Who is the coolest ?
 
Who would you say was the coolest all time actor ?
Sean Connery for his role as 007 in the Bond movies or Clint Eastwood for his roles as the man with no name in the famous spagetti westerns.

I think Clint Eastwood just pips it.
My wife thinks Sean Connery wins.

So who gets your vote ?

Connery's a beater. He's as cool as Mel Gibson.

Sean Connery may be the iconic 007 actor, but I wouldn't say that any of them Bond films, or actors, were "cool."

Clint Eastwood is cool.

Who else? Sean Penn, he's cool. Gary Oldman too.

You dig, man?

Sean Connery was good, but he had the cheese factor. Clint was cool in all the spaghetti westerns and super cool as dirty harry.

The actor who played "Clyde" in Any Which Way But Loose is my all time favourite.

Nobody flips the bird with such abandon.

I've got a lot of his films. Violent Cop - a classic.

Re: Who is the coolest ?
 
I think the man is a genius. Understated & not frightened of letting a story unfold. I love his use of silence. The casual brutality is great too mind... He is also very cool.. I love Hana Bi & Sonatine is amazing but Violent Cop is a masterpiece..

Have you seen Gonin? That film got me into japanese gangster movies - his zen approach to violence really is cool and it really shines in that movie. I might have to watch it again now.

The one where he has the patch over his eye, classic..
You truly believe he's psychotic. I liked him in Brother,
the film isn't the greatest but he is amazing in it..

Humphrey Bogarts performance in Casablanca is a legendry masterclass in cool :thumbsup:

"play it again sam, you played it for her so you'll play it for me"

But the coolest line has to be "heres looking at you kid" I think to Ingrid Bergman.
