"Sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand." Luke jackson - Cool Hand Luke "We all got it comin', kid." William Munny - Unforgiven "Let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep flying. " Yossarian - Catch 22 "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? Huh? Ok." Travis Bickle - Taxi Driver "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?" Harry Callahan - Dirty Harry
"You're no daisy." "I'm your Huckleberry." - Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday. Coolest freakin' character EVER.

It would make a good tourny thread, but Forest Gump is not cool. Good movie though. Can't believe I forget Tyler Durden. One of the coolest movie characters ever!!!!
Doc Holliday. F-Yeah!!! Doc Holliday: In Vino Veritas. [In wine is truth. - Meaning - "When I'm drinking, I speak my mind."] Johnny Ringo: Age Quod Agis. [Do what you do. - Meaning - "Do what you do best."] Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus Apella, Non Ego. The Jew Apella may believe it, not I.

i live in the American Gardens Building on West 81st street on the 11th floor. my name is Patrick Bateman. im 27 years old. i believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. in the morning if my face is a little puffy, i'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. i can do a thousand now. after i remove the ice pack, i use a deep pore cleansing lotion. in the shower i use a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub and on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. then i apply an herb mint facial masque which i leave on for 10 minutes while i prepare the rest of my routine. i always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. then moisturizer, then an anti aging eye balm, followed be a final moisturizing protective layer. there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. only an entity, something illusory. and though i can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, but i simply am not there.
Christopher Walken as Gabriel in The Prophecy Gabriel: Do you know how you got that dent, in your top lip? Way back, before you were born, I told you a secret, then I put my finger there and I said "Shhhhh!" Gabriel: I'm an angel. I kill newborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. And occasionally, when I feel like it, I tear little girls apart. And from now till kingdom come... the only thing you can count on... in your existence... is never understanding why.
Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner as Boss Spearman and Charley Waite, respectively, in one of my favorite westerns of all-time, Open Range. "Men are gonna die here today, and I'm gonna kill them".
I almost thought you said Joe Dirt was a cool character. Robby: You all right Dirt? Joe Dirt: Yeah, I'm cool. Robby: No you're not.
There are sooo many great characters that have already been mentioned. But one that was missing is the Man of Steel.
