Even though they may not be as young as they used to be, these guys are still great to watch in movies today. Infact, I'd probably rather see one of their films over those of most of the young stars that rise and fall every month. It's always great when an older, wiser guy, who still possesses the charisma of another age, exhibits his wit and wisdom among those of a younger generation. And let's face it: most of those guys are gone.

But out of these choices, who's the coolest?

Like a fine wine, these men just keep getting better with age. This wasn't an easy choice but I went with Jack Nicholson.

I'll go with Clint Eastwood.

Clint Eastwood

I couldnt decide between Nicholson and Eastwood


i think when they were both in their prime Nicholson was far better, but Eastwood has distinguished himself as an exceptional director

Anybody but Eastwood.

I'll go with Newman or Nicholson. But Newman gets the edge because he sells salad dressing. Come on people, it's salad dressing!! You can't beat that. Plus, I just can't think of Jack as a veteran actor for some reason.

I chose Gene Hackman....but my real first choice is Christopher Walken who wasn't on your list.

Out of that list I pick paul Newman.

I voted James Garner, but that was a good list.

Hmm...I'm gonna have go with Jack Nicholson

James Garner.

He was Jim Rockford! Nuff said!

;)

Paul Newman

I voted for Jack Nicholson, but would have given Robert De Niro my vote had he been listed.

De Niro and Walken are both 61, the requirements here were to be at least 65


most of the rest of these guys are 70 or older

Jack Nicholson

Paul Newman. Love those Paul's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eyes:

Really tough choice. Two of the guys on that list that I really like are Jack Nicholson and Gene Hackman. I'm going with Hackman.

Personally, I think Eastwood is the best star among these other great legends. He may not necessarily be the best actor, but his movies never get tiring to watch and his no-nonsense approach is fun to watch in all his movies from "A Fistful of Dollars" to "Blood Work."

I picked Warren Beatty. He did his thing during his day, and now he is just keeping on the downlow, something I wish Nicholson would do. JMO! :wave:

I would definitely say Jack Nicholson. He's forever cool.

I think one of the coolest veteran actors is Robert Duvall, but he's not on that list.

Yes, there's a good one that I forgot to put on the list. This guy is in so many good movies, yet he seems so underrated compared to some of his older costars like De Niro or the younger stars like Travolta or Costner who seem to overshadow him in movies. You're right though, he's still definitely one of the coolest!

Christopher Walken is cool. However, he is only 61.

De Niro is actaully 10 years younger then Duvall, not older.

I meant "older" in comparison to Duvall's younger costars with whom he makes movies today, not Duvall himself.

Charlton Heston.

The man had the lead in classics like The 10 Commandments, Ben Hurr, and Planet of the Apes

Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda

Bruce Dern

Paul Newman

Clint Eastwood

He's not on your list for some reason, but De Niro is my favourite actor.

Sean Connery... still the best 007

I piciked Gene Hackman but I also like

Clint Eastwood
Sean Connerry

and of course Paul Newman (Poor guy :()

Paul Newman
