American actor Steve McQueen (1930-1980) in a movie still from "Bullit." |
The man had a casual style that stamped his
generation. Easily, Steve McQueen
(1930-1980) was the American cinematic icon of his time. He captured the camera like no one else has
then or now. Handsome, brooding and like so many of our heroes: terribly flawed
off screen.
AMC Channel did a poll on the King of Cool and came
up with the 10 best McQueen flicks of all time.
“Bullit,” the San Francisco-based cop thriller topped AMC’s list. For the other nine go to:
