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.

Swingers, Out of Site, Heat, and Drugstore Cowboy are all very, very Steve.

Escape from LA, however, is very Stu.

Swingers features only one character (Mikey) who is not cool, while Made features only one character (Ruiz) who is cool.

Probably my second favorite scene in the movie.

"His gun is a f*cking starter pistol! I can see the red plug in your f*cking barrel!"

"Listen to me. I intentionally make this gun look that way because I am smart."

Best line of movie easily comes from the previously mentioned Ruiz. "Don't easy Ruiz me, you all turned an Easter Egg hunt into a butt-[censored]-athon."
