Default \'cool\' movies

Looking through my DVD collection, I realized that I really like 'cool' movies. What is a 'cool' movie? It's a movie where cool/interesting people do cool/interesting things. Examples of 'cool' movies I have seen or are in my collection:

Ocean's 11 (not the original one)
Poolhall Junkies
Rounders (duh)
Equilibrium
Sneakers
Tao Of Steve
Catch Me If You Can
Roger Dodger
Confidence
Italian Job

I'm sure I left a few off, but those are the ones I can see on my DVD rack... what are some other 'cool' movies that you'd recommend?

Some that come to mind.

First and foremost, Swingers.

Made.

Lock, Stock, of course.

Heat.

Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.

Boondock Saints.

Go.

Three Kings.

Out of Sight.

King of New York.

Escape from New York.

Drugstore Cowboy.

A ton of mob flicks.

Haven't even started to think about older films. Many qualify.

Taxi Driver.

OK, I just thought it was "cool" when Travis takes Betsy to the porno movie on their first date (disgusting Betsy) and then gives himself a mowhawk, stalks a presidential candidate, kills a pimp, saves a little prostitute, and then quietly COOLLY blows Betsy off at the end.

Now, how cool is THAT??

OK. I guess that's not really what you meant.

Taxi Driver clearly qualifies.

As does Cool Hand Luke.
