This isn't a poll because I suck at polls. :(

I have two favorites:
Clint Eastwood in The Man With No Name Trilogy
The part in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" when he lights the cannon with his cigarette is one of the most badass thing ever. :(

Johnny Depp in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"
In the commentary, Gilliam praises Depp's ability to point the cigarette-holder at any corner of the screen.

Runner up:
The Penguin in any of the Batman movies, shows, or comics.

And yes, you fuckers, joints count. :(

They don't call him Cigarette Smoking Man (or Cancer Man) for nothing:

Damn, Mac, I'd thought your reply would have coincided with mine. Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. The coolness of that man's worn out face while smoking makes me want to donate a liver to any possible cancer. Not just coolness, but an indefinite statement on a man's character like no other.

Actually I think Bogey smoked better in "To Have And Have Not."

I missed that one. My memory just serves of the behind the scenes adventures between Bacall and Bogart and that being her first major movie and Bogart having a love affair with her during it or afterwards. Not sure. I'm sure any lackey can beat me in Hollywood trivia.
