I usually expect these lists to be a US/UK circle jerk, but how can you not throw in at least one John Woo movie with Chow Yun-Fat? The Killer, Hard Boiled, something.

Decent, not great, list.

Although "Rushmore" is a piece of shiat.

Some good films on there, but "Singles" - wtf?

The presence of Singles ruins an otherwise good list.

MeinRS6: Some good films on there, but "Singles" - wtf?

You're forgetting the intercontinental influence of Citizen Dick.
They had a huuuuge record break in Belgium.

But yeah.

They should have just put Steve McQueen up there, Bulllitt is not cooler than The Great Escape, or Le Mans, or The Thomas Crown Affair, they are all equally cool, because of McQueen.

Although The Great Escape also has Charles Bronson, James Coburn, James Garner and Richard Attenborough in it, so...

And what does Steve Bruce have to do with this list? He's nowhere near cool. Alan Smith, now he's cool.

No "Big Trouble in Little China"???

fail so very much fail

This list would be comfortable in a list of the thirty worst lists.

No Leon: The Professional or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead or any other Gary Oldman films?!?

No Snake Plissken?

No Clint Eastwood?

Rushmore?!?

at least the subby turned on voting so that we could vote on the FARK 30 coolest movies.

FFS people. TURN ON VOTING.

/drew wept

leon/le femme nikta
great escape

Also, this-

No Sergio Leone?

there are two kinds of people in the world - assclown bloggers who make weak lists
and the farkers doing the cutting.

Absent from the list:

Dirty Harry
Beverly Hills Cop
Predator
Casino

No Bourne or Bond.

No Jet Li or Tony Jaa.

But hey, Singles! What a fantastic turd of a movie. Not remotely watchable, but at least the soundtrack had some gems.

The_Sponge: Absent from the list:

Dirty Harry
Beverly Hills Cop
Predator
Casino

The Dirty Dozen (the original "The Expendables")
Kelly's Heroes
Die Hard
The Great Escape
Goodfellas
Escape from New York
Oceans Eleven (the original)

No Cool Hand Luke?
/uncool list

List fails without Enter the Dragon.

Okay, how in the fark do you stick a movie that was released 5 weeks ago on a list like this? Even if it is good (a 93% on RottenTomatoes indicates it might be), 5 weeks of theater time before inclusion is farking moronic.

List fails without [movie that conforms to my personal definition of cool].

Agreed.

JohnBigBootay: AdolfOliverPanties: Decent, not great, list.

I agree it doesn't belong in THIS list but it's a pretty damn fun movie.

Yeah, Rushmore is a fantastic movie, but "cool"? Nah.

Sudden Impact

/Go ahead.
//Make my day.

Electric_Banana: Seriously, why do people like Rebel Without a Cause so much? James Dean's character is a whiny little biatch. "You're tearing me apart!"

Rewatch it. It's pretty fantastic.

It starts as some angsty teen movie, it turns into a drama when one dies and then it turns into Natalie Wood's father alienating her because she has become sexualized to him - he doesn't like kissing her any more, but kisses the younger daughter because that is okay. James Dean's crushed because his father is emasculated because the wife is the alpha in the relationship and it disgusts Dean.

Fantastic movie.
