The Coolest Movie Characters Ever!

What exactly is “cool”? Nobody knows for sure (and if you have to ask, you ain’t got it). But there’s one thing we know for certain about cool: the movies invented it.

Movie cool can be many things; sometimes it is the raw sex appeal of a Marlon Brando or a James Dean. Sometimes it is the disdainful smoulder modelled by Lauren Bacall, or the rogueish charm of Han Solo. Often, cool equates to plain old evil – Harry Lime is cool. Even Ming the Merciless is kind of cool. Cooler than Flash Gordon, anyway. The point is, you might not be able to define cool, but you sure as hell know when someone has it. And this lot have it in spades.
