The Gang: Unnamed
The Film: Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Led By: Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney)
Enemies: The police, each other.
Why Are They Cool? The Dogs - even though they don't have a formal "gang" name - are certainly a mixed bag for anyone looking to join.
On the upside, you've got those rambling, hip cafe conversations about what Like A Virgin means or whether you should tip a waitress.
And just look at the dress sense - utterly cool matching suits, sharp shades and a soundtrack to match.
It's just a shame that the loose association of crims assembled for a heist fails to gel when the going gets tough - and the tough get bloody.
Plus, with Mr Blonde (Michael Madsen) as a member, no one is exactly safe. "Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right..." Ouch.
Next: Dominic Toretto's crew

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!
