Who is the coolest character and least cool character in movies?
My pick for coolest character- Jules from Pulp Fiction. He starts out as a badass, sees the light, seeks redemption and stops a bloodbath in the diner. All while remaining cool.
My pick for least cool character- Simon, the car dealer from True Lies. A total douchebag, adulterer and sleaze who spouts lines like "The 'vette gets em wet". Plus he's a snivelling coward.

Coolest: Jack Burton or Snake Plissken. Russell owns both so hard I can't choose.
Least: any played by Michael Cera.

Stuntman Mike
MacReady
Kurt Russell
Cash
Wyatt Earp
etc
Now that I think about it. This guy could have easily been one of classics stars from a previous era. Guy has charisma out the ass.

Jef Costello in 'Le Samourai' is the coolest, ever.
Milan in 'Man on the Train' is close for coolest.
Can't think of the least cool right now, long list of contenders.

John Cazale...the man has played probably the least coolest characters ever. They're not bad characters at all, very interesting ones. They're just not cool.
