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

Couldn’t say... but their socks are tougher than any 50 nancy boy actors today.

Your opinion tells me that you are a snot-nosed kid. Don’t worry, you’ll mature.

From a woman’s perspective, no man was cooler than Steve McQueen. :)

I say it’s a tie.

Tough one. Steve McQueen in the Great Escape jumping the barbed wire fence on the stolen motorcyle is hard to beat for ‘cool’.

BURT LANCASTER,
Kick ass and take names.
No wimps allowed.
Where are the real men?
But according to today’s standard, he would have to play a gay, and a transsexual to show his DEPTH as an actor.
John Wayne never played a gay part......

Lee Marvin got kicked out of my high school (and a dozen others), and my wife used to date Steve McQueen... but I have no idea which one was “cooler”.

I don’t know much about either one but would bet they were pretty tough in real life as well as the movies.

Lee Marvin just plain looked mean. Steve McQueen had a rough and ready look that I liked.

Call it a draw.

They both had very interesting bio’s. Very full lives.

As a Triumph rider, I vote for McQueen.

Lee Marvin. He was a Marine that earned a Purple Heart at Saipan. His grave simply states his military rank and name. Steve McQueen was cool but Lee Marvin was the grizzled tough guy in reality.

I picked up the dvd-set of Lee Marvin’s “M Squad” series. Watched every episode, from all three seasons. He’s pretty awesome. Nobody remotely like him around nowadays. Makes you fully realize the depths of pathetic wimpishness that modern culture has sunk to nowadays.

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.
