I say Lee Marvin hands down. He was just cool and never thought he had to prove it.

IMHO....Lee Marvin was an ordinary guy...and a great actor.

Steve McQueen was a cool guy, and a wonderfully talented actor.

What a choice!!

Steve kicked the bucket first so his carcass’ rotting remains have got to be colder.

Hmmmm for just plain cool I have to say Steve McQueen if nothing else but for his car in Bullitt......(Although I would argue classic Paul Newman is still the Coolest....I site Cool Hand Luke and The Sting).

However for toughness I say Lee Marvin he was a Marine! Which is Pretty “Cool” in my Book!

Yes...I am a “Movie Geek”...LOL

No contest. McQueen = Bullitt. Mag7

Marvin was good but McQween rocks.

When Steve McQueen quit Hollywood he ripped out his mailbox and somehow convinced the post office to deliver his mail to the local gas station, where they happily sorted it out for him. That way he never got a script or offer, just personal correspondence and bills. Talk about dropping off the net. He turned down the lead roll in a dozen blockbusters this way, including Rambo. Try and picture that movie.

I used to own two black 1968 Dodge Chargers. That movie still makes me upset.

McQueen was a Marine, too.

No gravesite, however - his ashes were scattered in the Pacific.

Steve “Cooled Down” the Blob! The stunt that he personally performed when he jumped the fence in “The Great Escape” was mega kool!

I don't know. Tough guy and great actor to be sure, but that whole "Cat Ballou" thing kinda ruins it for me.

Turning a hot lap at LeMans is pretty cool.

They are two of my all-time favorite actors, so it’s hard to choose. However, a decision must be made and the cooler one has to be Steve McQueen. ;-)

Marvin isn’t even close.

Forget Lee Marvin or Steve McQueen.

It’s Charles Bronson, in a league of his own.
