First of all, your writing style and voice-over are pretty damn cool, so I kinda think you're onto something with this exploration. "Cool" in cinema is a vastly under-rated trait, and one that Nerdwriter, Thomas Flight, and Tom Van Der Linden aren't quite set up to explore. They're all cool folks, but "cool" clearly isn't their focus. I think you could go deep down this rabbit hole. But I think if you're going to do that, you should consider that all the films you cite here are "cool guy" films, centering masculine swagger, and masculine identity, as the definition of cool. And I think that's limiting, because there's other expressions of cool. For example, the coolest film of all time to my mind is actually "Only Lovers Left Alive." If you don't know it, it's a vampire film basically about two vampires and how they keep their marriage alive over the centuries. The features on everything you talk about here. Its protagonist, Adam, has the same dark, silent, late-night mystique of the Driver in Drive. The dialog has the same easy meandering free-association of Pulp Fiction. And all the characters are just relentlessly, impossibly cool, even in the midst of earnestness and vulnerability and pathos. What it doesn't have is the power struggles that make up the plots of Pulp Fiction, Drive, Oceans Eleven, and all these other "cool" films cited in the video. It's interesting to sink into a movie that has nothing to do with "winning" against anyone, least of all men competing with other men, trash-talking, fighting for dominance, and all that stuff that makes up the bulk of the conflict in most "cool" movies. I think it's interesting to watch a film where no men are trying to make other men "their bitch." It's so easy to get caught up in that game, to the point where it's all you think of when you think of conflict, or even cool. But it's such a rat race. To my mind, it makes everyone less cool. Anyway, I think if you keep on this track, "Only Lovers Left Alive" is worth a look, for a very different take on what it means to be cool.
First, i think you overstate the masculinity of coolness. Second, with Pulp Fiction i think the movie itself is the cool part, not the plot, as a wannabe filmmaker i know peopt often underestimate the cinematographic language, and overestimate the literary language, and i think you might fall here. I haven't watched the movie you mention, but i absolutely doubt it has a single shot cooler than anything in Pulp Fiction, like the introduction to Marcellus Wallace, with the still camera on Butch and the red lights, the music and Marcellus almost singing to the beat though he's actually just talking.
@@brunoactis1104 I think you misunderstand my intent. I don't think coolness is necessarily masculine at all, but I noticed that the essayist only focused on examples of "cool" that had a particularly masculine bent. I just thought it was worth noting. There's more to cool than male swagger, as much as I love male swagger. One of the coolest shots in television, to my mind, was Peggy Olson walking into her new job in the final episode of Mad Men, sunglasses on, cigarette hanging out of her mouth, letting the audience know that, whatever happens next, she's gonna handle it like a bad-ass. Female swagger can be just as cool. Growing up, I loved Star Wars (a film you young'ns call A New Hope), but watching it as an adult, it seemed obvious the coolest character wasn't Han, or Vader, or even Chewbacca; it was Leia, the hard-as-nails princess. Just to be clear, I loved this essay, and I think it's a subject worth exploring more. I just think the way to open the subject up is to step past the notion that cool is about manliness, one-upping or dominating others. Nothing wrong with that kind of story, but it's not the end-all, be-all of what it means to be cool. Oh, and yeah, that Marcellus intro is one of the coolest moments in cinema, no doubt. But I feel like the coolest moment for Marcellus is his last, when he and Butch, who met as master and servant, parted as respectful equals.

I’m so glad willem talked about life aquatic. Not only is it one of his most fun performances but also top 3 Wes Anderson. Extremely underrated/under-appreciated. Glad it’s starting to get more recognition and praise
@@wolfboy20 It was generic. Brad Pitt was not allowed to have a good character. Everyone was boring. Too many characters diluted the film. Reservoir Dogs is far better.
Gosh I love film. It's the perfect medium .. everything from fashion to music to cars to writing .. it's all present in one picture. It's not a huge commitment for 30 minutes across a couple years .. just one big 2-4 hour show that you can revisit and re-experience every now and then.
Just found your channel and love the topics. As for this one - it's easy, just anyone that doesn't give a f*ck and is confident in their own skin - but like COMPLETELY confident. If they were 99.9% confident then no, they're not cool. That's the kicker - you need to envy how comfortable they are in their own skin - that's the acid test. If you do, then they're cool.
Really great content! I have watched most of your videos and have to applaud you on the effort put into each of them. Keep up the great work, and eventually you will have a Thomas Flight and Nerdwriter size audience. All that said, please note that Film Noir has not been around since the dawn of film but began with 1941's "Maltese Falcon", and "Pulp Fiction" was set in the 1990s (Vince and Jules use cellphones, Bruce Willis' character was a small boy during the Vietnam War, The Wolf drives an Acura NSX which came out in 1991, etc). Still, very enjoyable viewing, looking forward to more videos!
Steven Segal actually was cool back in the day, though. My dad loved him, RIP dad. Under Siege and Marked For Death were cool, especially back then. Under Siege 2 was when he took the express elevator straight down!
Hey Renzy, keep up the good work. You definitely deserve way more subs and I think you're really onto something. Don't give up, your effort is appreciated!
Movies like Drive and Fight Club may have been memed to death and in some people's eyes lost some of their bite due to their association with/being co-opted by the literally me/redditor crowd. But as you pointed out, there's just so much cool factor and style in these movies taken on their own and divorced from the internet discourse around them. You can debate "the point" of these movies until you're blue in the face and ultimately people see what they wanna see. However, it cannot be denied that these movies and other films in the neo-noir subgenre bring a sense of style, mystery, and yes, cool that other films simply just can't replicate. It's a delicate balance that so many film makers never really grasp and it makes movies like this so much more special for it.
Daniel Craig in Casino Royal is ultimate cool. Capable and calculated, light on the futuristic gadgets. Walking back into the poker game after being poisoned and dropping that one liner. 👌
John Wick is very cool, particularly the first one. So is American Gangster, particularly Denzel's character. Someone confident with an underlying level of danger who is also extremely charismatic. No Country For Old Men, too.
The latest John whick instalment felt totally unbelievable like watching a weird superhero/video campaign, the action started to drag and blend into homogeneous executions
for me what makes the john wick movies so good is that john wick gets hurt a lot he's not impervious to damage and every fight he gets into leaves him battered while he is a legend among assassins, he's still just a normal guy fighting people who have also trained their whole lives.
I just discovered your channel, this is the second video I watched after your Micheal Cera one. Excellent stuff! You deserve far more subs. Best wishes and God bless.
Great movies all around! Also, thank you for two of my favorite movies ever. The Matrix and John Wick. And if you don't like Reeves, I'm pretty sure you have no soul😅
Many of these middle old school actors oozed coolness every movie they were in: Sean Connery, Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Lee Van Cleef, Steve McQueen, Warren Beatty, James Coburn, Rod Steiger, Peter O’Toole (Night of the Generals, hot damn!), Telly Savalas, Dean Stockwell, the list goes on and on
Anyone who doesnt see ryan goslings acting skills is blind. All I see is when I watch his movies is subtle genius. Imo he's the best actor of his time. One of the best of all time.
Big Lebowski, man. King of Staten Island, Ghostbusters, Smiling Friends, Indiana Jones are pretty fucking cool. I feel like movies and characters that are able to get beat up, shit on, passed over and heartbroken- but still walk away with some optimism, are cool to me. Not trying, just being. It's why that as much as I enjoy Tarantino, I can't appreciate his films for their "coolness". Maybe Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, and Inglorious Basterds. Those are the exceptions. That's why the James Bond/fast cars/hot women/explosions version of cool don't do much for me. It's that lo-fi aesthetic, I think.
Blade was cool! Especially in the first one. BUT one of the absolute COOLEST characters in a role??? Brendan Fraser in Encino Man. Especially since I was a kid when it came out. Dude just oozed a primal caveman coolness. Betty Nugs! Wheeze the Juice, buhdy! The cheese is old and moldy, where is the bathroom? Edit: Also.. Christian Bale in Equilibrium. Still one of the coolest action movies ever made! OH and we CAN NOT FORGET, like half the cast from Dazed and Confused. What a stellar cast that was too. One of the London Twins Jason I think, Matthew McConaughey., Parker Posey, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser(2 fast 2 furious villain), Anthony Rapp. Yeah. Dazed and Confused may be the coolest movie to me. If nothing else because the cast is a bunch of cool actors.
Tarantino, to me, hits that zone I call "middle brow". I put shows like Cheers in that category too. He doesn't make strictly popcorn fare, where you just have to switch off and just watch the spectacle and one liners. But you can watch his movies that way. And it's not high brow or an attempt at it, where you have to rewatch to catch the needed symbolism. But there are easter eggs and references to catch if you want. He isn't so full of himself that it's just unbearable to watch. But there is stuff to talk about It's a comfortable middle ground where I'm not being insulted, it's fun, yet it's not really empty nothing. And it's done with some craft.
I had this conversation with my dad recently and he says the coolest man in Hollywood was Humphrey Bogart, after watching Casablanca I don’t think I can argue with him.
The most amazing thing about Pulp Fiction's dialogue is that it SEEMS pointless on the surface, but in reality EVERY conversation has meaning. And I mean literally all of them. Read between the lines and you realize that every word uttered is either call backed to/referenced later on, or serves the greater theme of the movie, and this is done through perhaps the most mundane, arbitrary banter cenima had seen up to that point
No Butch Cassidy? No Five Easy Pieces? No Easy Rider? No A Bout de Souffle? No Conformist? No Les Valseuses? Cinema did not begin with Tarantino. A tragic paucity of choice and taste.
First of all don't give a direct spoiler of any movie that you mentioned or you will mentioned in their future videos As I get to know a a characters motive from this video which I wanted to know from the movie itself when I will watch it
Fear. With Mark Walberg. He Was A Interesting Character (Cool To Me) Had MachineHead & Comedown From Bush (Cool 90's Rock Band) The Relationship Between A Twisted Guy Like Marks Character And A Sweet More Innocent Then B!Tch Type Girlfriend Which Would've Wanted To Workout But Ended With Mark Walberg Being A Stalker (So Let Me In Your F. N House (.
Oh cmon a video about coolness in cinema and not a single mention of the king of cool Steve McQueen, any of his characters, or movies... smh. Also, one of the most stylish/coolest movies I've ever seen that never gets that recognition is Looper, that futuristic greaser/rockabilly style is already quite unique and then JGL drops the coolest performance of his career as a young Bruce Willis, instant classic for me.
A lot of people like Oceans 11 and the whole trilogy but I feel like it is Underrated in the Filmmaking community. It is one of my favourite films and Trilogies of all time and I am so in love with the overall vibe of these Movies. I wasn't really able to point out why specifically I love oceans this much but now I've got the last puzzle peace. It's (among other things) just the Coolness of relatability of most of the Characters annd the witty dialogue.
@@leandersantos2477 it started out as an underground league of assassin's. By the end it appeared everyone in the world was linked in and controlled by the assassin's. I love the character, the series and the world it was set in stayed so far from the original concept it took away from the series. Still great to watch mindlessly, but I feel like the writing got lazy and forgot it was supposed to be a secret society. People have have different opinions. I'm surprised I need to explain that to you. Friendo
Great video and great subject, but, why don't you talk about women ? There are a lot of interesting and cool women characters and women directors. For instance, i love Tarantino, you could talk about Death Proof ?
Nah, sorry, Drive is not even a good film. The self-confessed narcissist Nicolas Winding Refn was always overrated and it's good that he's mostly gone from the big screen and hasn't made any more films since the abysmal Neon Demon. Drive is a film made by a narcissist, for an audience of narcissists. Just no thank you. This film is worse than Baby Driver.
@@Neylindo10 "Bait"? Nah, just my honest opinion after reading up on what a self-confessed narcissist Refn is. You can either follow suit and read up on him, or you can pretend that you already know everything. Your choice.

Sean Connery the OG cool dude. He wasn't just an actor, he was a bodybuilder, served in the military and lived a long and happy life!
The coolest movie is 12 Angry Men.. what a premise and acting!
P.S. Love your videos!
I struggle to think of a less cool classic film lol. It’s an amazing film but not “cool” at all really
We Bare Bears || Icy Nights episode does an incredible job capturing the essence of cool that we saw in Drive
"One of my favorite films of all time is the John Wick series." That sentence threw me for a loop lol
coolest character has to be the man with no name he started the coolness and his whole cool aura changed cinema forever
I'd consider No Country For Old Men a cool film, all three main characters are cool in their own way.
The Thomas Flight reference made me smile
You and I have very similar tastes in “Cool”. Drive and the Oceans movies are some of my favorites
John Wick is very cool, particularly the first one. So is American Gangster, particularly Denzel's character. Someone confident with an underlying level of danger who is also extremely charismatic. No Country For Old Men, too.

It's (among other things) just the Coolness of relatability of most of the Characters annd the witty dialogue.
WONDERFUL
BABY DRIVER IS COOLEST COOLEST
Collateral is peak.
Tennet is annoyingly cool... even tho i cant hear shit, the vibes are impeccable
the coolest film ever made is pacific rim
I like this video.
Fear
No Out Of Sight? Not cool.
Dom Toretto is probably one of the cringiest most pathetically written characters in pop culture
You think the John wick character and series stayed believable?
Sigh….. he explained it buddy.
In the context of the world yes.
@@leandersantos2477 it started out as an underground league of assassin's. By the end it appeared everyone in the world was linked in and controlled by the assassin's.
I love the character, the series and the world it was set in stayed so far from the original concept it took away from the series.
Still great to watch mindlessly, but I feel like the writing got lazy and forgot it was supposed to be a secret society.
People have have different opinions.
I'm surprised I need to explain that to you. Friendo
12:11 don't know how anti establishment and hyper masculinity go hand in hand
Coolest movie?! Point break
Coolest movie is, unfortunately, the Hangover. It's about a bunch of friends fixing their fuck ups. THAT is the coolest thing ever.
👻 🐶
Great video and great subject, but, why don't you talk about women ? There are a lot of interesting and cool women characters and women directors. For instance, i love Tarantino, you could talk about Death Proof ?
Nah, sorry, Drive is not even a good film. The self-confessed narcissist Nicolas Winding Refn was always overrated and it's good that he's mostly gone from the big screen and hasn't made any more films since the abysmal Neon Demon. Drive is a film made by a narcissist, for an audience of narcissists. Just no thank you. This film is worse than Baby Driver.
Ok
@@GreenGuy502 Go look up interviews with Refn if you don't believe me.
weak bait
@@Neylindo10 "Bait"? Nah, just my honest opinion after reading up on what a self-confessed narcissist Refn is. You can either follow suit and read up on him, or you can pretend that you already know everything. Your choice.
Wouldn't compare it to Baby Driver, too different vibe, of you would allow the use of such word. But yeah, among the neo-noir genre it's ok at best
