The Gang: The T-Birds
The Film: Grease (1978)
Led By: Danny Zuko (John Travolta)
Enemies: The Scorpions.
Why Are They Cool? Okay, so their hair is a little oily, they're still in school and they have a disturbing penchant for breaking into song at every possible moment.
But they're swaggering, leather clad dudes who step up when called upon and know how to handle a street race or two.
And considering that they've got a chattering, cooing gang of women - The Pink Ladies - watching their every move, it's not hard to see why they enjoy life.
Such is the power of their appeal that Danny even manages to convince the school's new arrival, virginal, terrified Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) to become a jumpsuit-clad vixen.
Next: Ocean's Eleven

You forgot the Axe Gang from Kung Fu Hustle. Thiose boys can dance too and they use fireworks in the same way as a bat signal, beat that!!!

Good call on Grease, but i'd prefer to see West Side Story in there, better film and a better gang. Don't know if they would class as a gang strictly, but The Untouchables are pretty damn cool what with Costner, Connery and Garcia on board! My actual vote though, goes to American Me, which is just.plain.ace.

What about Bodhi's gang of adrenaline fuelled mask wearing bank robbing surfers THE EX-PRESIDENTS from Point Break? Surely they deserve to make the list?! Seriously, if donning a rubber Ronald Reagan mask and leading fellow ex-presidents Carter, Nixon and Johnson on a crime-spree around Los Angeles ripping off banks to finance their endless summer isn't enough to get them on this list then what is the world coming to?!

I don't know, but if they do count, they're the best gang ever.

What about Neil McCauley's gang for Michael Mann's crime classic "Heat". DeNiro, Danny Trejo, Tom Sizemore (before he was a drug-addled mess), and best of all, Val Kilmer. They make scores of cash and live in the fast lane. What could be better than that?

Sure... Magnificent Seven... perhaps... but for my money, I'd rather join the gang from Silverado, or better still... Cat Ballou!

Potentially The Expendibles, Corleone clan is the greatest ever though!
