Coolest male lead of all time.

[skat]

Frank Booth - Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet

now you're talking my language.

James Dean, though great, emulated every single aspect of his "coolness" from Brando - Dean absolutely worshiped the ground he walked on.

​

and he didn't wear a leather jacket...but he was kool.

 

[kimko]

Nice one, Mino. I didn't think anyone on this site would even know who Hud was. :thumbsup: Not as good as Cool Hand Luke but still a really good choice.

no i'm sorry HOMBRE was the koolist of Newmans

The Big Sleep

Marlon Brando-Most of his work
Jack Nicholson- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining, The Departed

 

[Super Trooper]

The epitome of cool.

He could kick your a$$ and he could kick my a$$.

Just with his mustache.

Everyone else is competing for second place.

 

[Super Trooper]

Nevermind about competing for second place.

I allready found it:

 

[Ted Spencer]

For me, all time: Sean Connery in "Goldfinger"
And speaking of "Sin City", I thought Benicio Del Toro was pretty frickin' cool in that...
Otherwise Harrison Ford: Indy, Han
Connery again in "Hunt For Red October" - extra points added for age-defying coolness
Edward Norton in "Italian Job" (even though his character was a copycat)

 

[the_fusionist]

How about Bullit-Tooth-Tony and Turkish? They were some cools dudes. I also thought Pierce Brosnan was cool in Tomorrow Never Dies.

 

[AloysiusK]

Alain Delon as Jeff Costello in Le Samurai

 

[mjjason]

Not a movie, but the coolest person I have ever scene on tv or film was Elvis, during his 1968 comeback special. His all black suit and swager is the embodiment of cool

Sterling Hayden as Dix Handley in Asphalt Jungle
Al Pacino in Godfather part 2
