The Gang: The Ocean crew
The Film: Ocean's Eleven (2001)/Ocean's Twelve (2004)/Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
Led By: Danny Ocean (George Clooney)
Enemies: Loads.
Why Are They Cool? They're lead by George Clooney and Brad Pitt, for crying out loud! How are they not among the coolest gangs ever created?
This rag-tag assortment of specialist criminals is first forged into place by Ocean when he sets his sights on robbing three casinos at once, all under the nose of owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia).
Among them are the dumb-as-tyres Malloy brothers (Scott Caan and Casey Affleck) who are nevertheless ace wheelmen and fixers and the dodgy cock-er-nee accented Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle) who knows how to make things go boom with grace and power.
They're slick, they're funny, and they steal from bad guys. What's not to like?
Next: The Magnificent Seven

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!
