Tom cruise bartender movie#
In the movie Brian Flanagan drops out of college to start bartending and with the help of his mentor, Doug Coughlin, Flanagan is spinning bottles like a Vegas veteran after about 7 minutes of training. I know, he’s a turd, and though many think that Tom Cruise and rabies are kin, Cocktail did for flare bartending what Rounders did for Texas Hold ’em. #5 Tom Cruise as Brian Flanagan in Cocktail Brian Flanagan Yeah, shut up, I know he’s not a bartender, but he’s Jason Bourne! He gets to be on any top 10 list he wants. Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity Kick-ass Assassin Though we know that Isaac isn’t one of the two bartenders on the list getting laid, when you think of great television bartenders, you gotta think of Isaac. You might call him cheesy, but this extremely benevolent bartender from The Love Boat whipped up Pina Coladas and Mai Tais while solving all of the passengers’ problems in a single hour. If he were a dog, he’d be a labrador, jumping on your lap and licking your face. He smiles enough to make you think that he’s winning an Oscar every second of his life. Isaac basically makes the rest of us bartenders look like a bunch of pricks. #6 Ted Lange as Isaac Washington on The Love Boat
No amount of weed could save the short bartender, and he soon suffers the same fate. Cheech and Steve Buscemi get involved in a conversation that includes an entertaining, if not drawn out joke, from Buscemi as well as his witnessing the Mariachi’s murderous rampage at a previous bar.Ĭheech, who at first regards Buscemi’s character with the same respect as a cockroach, suddenly gets very interested.īartender: “So the bartender lived? (laughing) The bartender never gets killed.”īuscemi: No, man. This is one of my favorite bartender scenes ever and my second favorite role by Cheech since he and Chong did Things are Tough All Over. #7 Cheech Marin as the Short Bartender in Desperado The Short Bartender
Tom cruise bartender series#
Georgie is a pee-on and doesn’t really represent us very well as bartenders, but he is on one of the most popular series of all time, so he makes the list. Though not quite as dimwitted, Georgie is amiable and harmless but the mis-timed comments that come out of his mouth are a trigger for Tony to beat the tar out of him with nearby objects: phones, ice trays, cash registers, chains, you name it.
Georgie is the mafia’s personal bartender at the Bada Bing and could be the older brother of Lenny from Of Mice and Men. #8 Frank Santorelli as Georgie the Bartender in The Sopranos Georgie There’s little doubt in my mind that Lloyd could reach over the bar and separate your chest plate to extract your heart anytime he wants to (shiver). There’s something about calm people that scare the shit out of me, because it always seems like they know something that I don’t, something dreadfully bad that has to do with me. He is flat out SHUDDERSOME! That deadpan face and his calm, polite replies are dead giveaways to a dark satanic power you don’t want to fuck with. I gotta be honest, if I was forced to choose who to go one-on-one with in a dark closet, I’d take on Razor Charlie the vampire any day before I mess with Lloyd. #9 Joe Turkel as Lloyd in The Shining Creepy Lloyd Ron: “What? Were you saying something? Look, I don’t speak Spanish.”
Tom cruise bartender how to#
And you’re gonna have to learn how to deal with that.” Trejo was also the bartender in one of my other favorites, Anchorman, which must also be mentioned simply because it’s one of my favorite scenes in the movie: Not a big role, but anytime a bartender turns into a vampire, you have to put him in the top ten list or he might climb through my window at 4:00 a.m.
#10 Danny Trejo as Razor Charlie in From Dusk Till Dawn Danny Trejo Those characters only had sex to procreate and I’m not having it. At the end, I would love to hear your opinions, but please don’t tell me that Jackie Gleason or the guy from A Wonderful Life belong on this list or I will have to bang my head on my keyboard for the next six hours. These are bartenders, for Christ’s sake!Įven so, after 18 hours of deliberation and shaking my head in disgust, here is my list for greatest television and movie bartenders of all time. Of the ten listed, only two of them show any evidence of ever getting laid. What I found disappointed the shit out of me.
Someone emailed me the other day and asked me who I thought the greatest Hollywood bartender of all time was, and seeing as I have chosen to unearth and report all things bar-related in the industry (and perhaps occasionally outside the industry), I decided to do better than simply name the single greatest silver screen bartender, and rank, categorize and index the greatest ten.
