I get an odd channel on cable called Grit TV and today they ran a Steve McQueen film called 'Nevada Smith'. I'd seen bits n pieces of it before, but was able to watch the entire film today (w/commercials every 10 min.). He played a fellow who was half Native American (mother) and half white (father), who went in search of the trio of men that killed his parents.
McQueen was relatively young in this movie, but he was supposed to be playing an older boy/young man - and he looked to be about 30 years old in this movie. What is it about McQueen that made him so famous? His looks? Acting ability? The roles he played? His blue eyes? His cool factor?
Anyway, I njoyed this film and I'll pretty much watch him in anything. Anyone else have a favorite film of his? My fav film of his is 'Papillion'.

I guess it'd be a tie between Papillon and The Great Escape.
I get GritTV. Lots of good films on there.
edit - three way tie? Can't leave out The Magnificent Seven.

@jellyBEAN I recently watched him in The Blob, think it was his first film, on the Movies channel.

I've always thought Steve Mcqueen was just cool, so I guess cool factor would apply. He just had a certain charisma. He wasn't the most handsome, although he looked good and he wasn't the greatest actor, although he was talented. He stood out though-most definitely.

He played the lead in the TV western Wanted Dead or Alive. It's on ME TV on Saturday in our area. He just had the natural screen charisma all actors wish for. He sure was a mumbler, but a charismatic one!

Carpetbaggers " .... then they went on to do a movie about
that one character .....
