Dear God,

File this one under the heading of "I'm procrastinating cuz I don't want to start a shitload of work I have to do":

What movie characters would fall under your "top 10 coolest"?...I'm not talking about the actors themselves, but the movie characters...


Mine:


10) Chili Palmer (John Travolta), "Get Shorty"



Always ridicously calm and always smiling...so cool he even makes minivans seem cooler than a Cadillac...lol



9) John Maclaine (Bruce Willis), "Die Hard"



Wise cracks while taking on a dozen terrorists singlehandedly...his "Yippie kay yay, mutherfucker" was perfection..lol



8) Trinity (Carrie Ann Moss), "The Matrix"



"Dodge this."...lol

Making Keanu Reeves look like a 10 year old girl isn't hard, but she even out-cools the perenially cool Lawrence Fishburne...



7) Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), "In The Heat Of The Night"



Achieves his coolness with intelligence and a (just barely) contained calm anger...And he smacks that bigoted fool right the f' back without hesitation...lol



6) Terminator (Ahnuld), "The Terminator" and "Terminator 2"



Anyone who can calmly walk up to a beer-bellied redneck holding a double-barrel shotgun to his face and snatch that mf right out of his hands--AND take his damn sunglasses--deserves a spot on this list..lol



5) Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), "Alien" and "Aliens 2"



So cool she can take on a monstrous Alien and kick its ass wearing only a skimpy t-shirt and panties...and still come across as a badass lol



4) John Shaft (Richard Roundtree), "Shaft"



So much so that just his name alone automatically makes you think "cool" even 30 years later...



3) Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood), "Dirty Harry"



"I know what you're thinking punk. You're thinking did he fire six shots or only five?...To tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?'...

Well do you...punk?"


2) Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), "Pulp Fiction"


When he said his wallet was "the one that says bad motherfucker", there wasn't a single person alive who didn't agrree...lol


1) Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), "Casablanca"



Ugarte: "You despise me, don't you."
Rick Blaine: "Well, if I gave you any thought at all I probably would..."

Of the top ten most memorable lines in movie history, Rick Blaine probably said nine of them lol...so cool that when he wears a tuxedo, he makes James Bond in a tux look like a goofy prom date by comparison...so cool he lets the love of his life leave him forever for her own sake..and never looks back. Easily my #1 on the coolness scale.
