    Jason Robards in Once Upon a time in the West, now he has been in loads of films and cool as * in any one you can think of but I personally thought he was cool as * in this movie, even had his own theme tune by the great Ennio Morricone which is cool as * too! Thats a lot of *....
    [​IMG]
    Warren Oates in Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, bit of a mental film in typical nihilistic Sam Peckinpah style. Warren Oates is one cool mother * in this.

    Luke Askew someone a lot of people don't know but will instantly recognise him as a side character in a lot of those cult 60's and 70's westerns counter culture movies. I consider him to be Mr. dependable and Sam Peckinpah thought so too so anyone who disagrees is wrong, he was especially pretty cool in Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid.
    [​IMG]
    Kris Kristofferson was pretty * cool in Alice Doesn't live here anymore

    Special shout out to director Sam Peckinpah who was a cool cat!

    Gian Maria Volonté in Fistful/Few dollars more and A Bullet for the General which also starred Klaus Kinski

    Humphrey Bogart in anything ha but The Big Sleep and the Maltese Falcon in particular.
    [​IMG]
    Henry Fonda' (on the left) cool calm demeanour in the Ox Bow Incident made for a cool character and great performance.

    These two are great shouts.

    I like Juror #8 in 12 Angry Men. Keeps his cool and poise at the start of the film and indeed throughout despite early agitation and grievances directed towards him, which ultimately saves an innocent lad from getting the jail.

    Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln. Again, calm and laid back, it's probably more a testament to Lincoln as a man that Lincoln as a character, but DDL plays him exactly how I'd imagine him, effortlessly funny, sharp and cool in an irreverent sort of way.

    "You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... 60 years." - Charles Foster Kane

    What's cooler than not giving a single *?

    Shingen Takeda in Kagemusha. Although he was supposed to be banished to his death, certain circumstances led him to the prestigious title of daimyo. He leads his clan into one of the most breathtaking battle scenes seen on film.
