MOST Stylish Movie Characters

The Matrix - most definitely.

I agree, though that Blade began it. BUT - he overdid it, too much leather going on, there's something to be said for understatement, which was present in The Matrix, so I found the character's styles more striking.

aaand ... I totally agree with Jeremy Northam in the Winslow Boy, he was damned sexy and very well dressed. whew!

Nicoletta Broschi as Maria in 'Johnny Stecchino' (starring her husband, Roberto Begnini.) She's wearing a killer outfit in every scene, and she wears it well!

I mean, what's your encore? Do you, like, anally rape my mother while pouring sugar in my gas tank?

I've yet to see that movie, it's always on the shelf in the foreign section of the video store and I never get around to renting it cuz i'm afraid Roberto's style of humor won't amuse me. but maybe one day ... esp for some killer clothes ...

Snipes in Blade may have started it with the leather thing, but I think he made it "super-heroish".

Matrix broke the rules though and went out and really made it stylish. I mean, half if not all of that is something I'm sure everyone has been wanting to wear.

Jeez,if I could,I'd bust around in leather every single day and twice on Sundays! Just isn't practical in California.

Most stylish or best dressed?
Either way these guys look cool.

Neo & Trinity in "The Matrix"
Vin Diesel as Riddick in "Pitch Black"
Melinda Clarke in "Killer Tongue" (naff film but nice outfit)
Mark Dacascos as Toby Wong in "Drive" ok so it's a jumpsuit but it looks cool.
James Woods as Jack Crow in "John Carpenters Vampires" the Jeans and leather jacket look is always a goodie.
Wolverine in "The X-Men" (well it would be rude not to)

Oh come on, California!? They do things there that you would have to think twice about anywhere else. I'm not saying you're like that, but if anyone there was to wear leather 365 days a year who would care?

Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden in Fight club
Travolta and Sam Jackson as Vincent Vega and Juluis or something in Pulp Fiction

man, i can't believe you people. jack nicholson in ANYTHING! that guy owns cool.... he is the coolest, most badass guy in the history of movies (possibly). i don't know if you're talking about stylish like the clothes you wear, or stylish like your personality, but i think debating which actor dresses the coolest is a moot point when there are actors that could make a point wearing a t-shirt and sweats.

Batman & Robin
In their rubbery costumes.
It's all about the clothes BrodieMan

I'm talking the woods kind of California...that's North of weirdsville and Hollywood...believe me,around here,leather gets you no where fast.It's hot too1 To answer BrodieMan's question...It's about style in movies not outside of them.

Yeah, besides, Harrison Ford owns cool, he's just been lending it out for years.

I agree with you there...he's one classy guy.As far as style IN a movie...I liked all the clothes in Grease.Take a look at it now because the syles of today sort-of mimic the 50's.The girls dresses and casual style totally would turn heads today too.

sades, just stay around San Francisco. LOL. I'm sure there's plenty of people there wearin leather and whatnot.

Here's some super cool looking characters

Clint Eastwood in DIRTY HARRY as Harry
(He takes even more pain to save his paints after beinging shot just to show you how much he loves his duds also the cool shades rock)

Christian Bale in AMERICAN PSYCHO as Patrick Bateman
(This guy looks awesome throught-out the film with his super expensive clothes nothing but the best)

Steve McQueen in BULLITT as Detective Lieut. Frank Bullitt SFPD
(Those Turtle necks and mock turtle necks he wears got me wanting to buy some)

Humphrey Bogart in THE BIG SLEEP as Philip Marlowe
(Man this guy looks dope as a detective with the Trilby hat and trenchcoat)

Clint Eastwood in THE DOLLARS TRILOGY as The Man With No Name (He Totally fits the part with those cloths on)

RESERVOIR DOGS
(All of Them)

Arnold Schwarzenegger in RAW DEAL as Mark Kaminsky
(there's something about ARNIE with a suit and a big fat cigar in his mouth that just looks super cool)

my votes go to practically all of the movie star ladies in practically all of the classic dramas from the 30' and 40's!!
Elizabeth Taylor in A Place in The Sun!!
Lauren Bacall in the bogie movies.

(and lot's more, but i'll come back......maybe we can revive this thread...)

I could think of nothing cooler than sexy vampires in leather jackets and prancin' around like rock stars. That movie defined the the sex appeal of blood suckers. Jason Patrick was so hot.

and the boys in Swingers were just cool as anything...same goes for L.B.J's mention of the guys in Res. Dogs.
