The Movie Cowboy: Arguably the most recognisable cowboy in movie history, Clint Eastwood’s nameless drifter is the embodiment of gunslinging bad-assery! Everything from his battered boots to his filthy poncho is screaming two words: bad motherfucker.

The Movie Alien: A parasite so macabre it even puts the willies up Kurt Russell, The Thing is unquestionably the most hideous alien on the list. One look at the spider-head scene is all the evidence you should need.

If They Fought: If anyone’s eyelids were to remain unbatted by The Thing’s grisly antics, they would surely belong to The Man with No Name.

The Winner: It’s going to take a lot more than a grotesquely mutated head to knock Clint off his stride. Six bullets in the bonce and this one’s over.

Sample Dialogue: [The Man with No Name] “Every town has a boss… and you’re looking right at him.”
