Top five, right off the top of your head. Don't erase, don't think, just type. Here I go.

Deniro Mean Streets
Newman--Cool Hand
Eric Bana-- Chopper
Matt Dillon The Outsiders
William Holden The Bridge of the river K-Y.

I cheated a little, I dismissed Gary Oldman in Sid and Nancy but I think you understand. There's nothing cool about a talentless junkie wastoid. Great part, great acting, good movie, but not cool.
 
the coolest... without thinking...

Steve McQueen - Bullitt
Chow Yun-Fat - The Killer
William Holden - The Wild Bunch
Terrence "Tell them I'm ****ing coming!!!!" Stamp - The Limey
Roddy Piper & Keith David - They Live
 
well im not sure about 'all time' but he is pretty cool

"I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

I thought that was sooooo cool when I saw it. I think I was 10.
 
Harrison Ford - Indy
Al Pacino - Scarface
Harrison Ford - Han Solo
Tom Berenger - Platoon
Roy Scheider- Jaws
 
Terance Hill = Nobody (movie is dated, but easily the coolest ever... excellent definition of cool if you can get through the dated style... great story too.)

Clint Eastwood = ALL the old spaghetti westerns... Clint invented long cool shots and long looks where more is said in silence with the eyes.

Harrison Ford = first actor that made me aware of cool... Han Solo.

Harrison Ford = Raiders series... cool under stress... one of my favorite characters of all time.

After that I'm locked up... I'd have to copy somebody else's answers... that's all that ever made a strong impression on me.

There's some modern actors that will fit this list when it's all said and done... that Vigor guy is pretty cool.
 
Keanu Reeves - Matrix
Clint Eastwood - unforgiven
Chris Reeves - Superman
Russel Crowe - Cinderellaman
Gabriel Garcia Bernal - Motorcycle Diaries

(Damn, that was harder than I thought, There is so much frustration now inside!)

I don;t know about Jack BUrton Barry, but MacREady in The Thing or Snake Plisken are all ranking 6 and 7 !
 
Pee Wee Herman

So you all can have your Fords, Pacinos, and Eastwoods. BUT Pee Wee would take them all to school when it comes to being cool. :) :)

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you
will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." I been
sayin' that shi* for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your
ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was
just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfu**er 'fore you popped a
cap in his ass."
