10 Best Ever Movie Bartenders

10. Doug Coughlin - Cocktail

Cocktail thrust its audience into the high stakes world of pouring liquid into glasses, including doing so while flipping and spinning bottles in the air like you're a damn juggler. We understand the importance of going above and beyond while performing a job in the tip-based industry, but sometimes you just want the man behind the counter to ply you with forget juice as fast as possible.

If you are looking for an inexpensive mini-Cirque De Soliel show before getting your drink on, however, don't order from novice Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise). Sure, he's 80s handsome and The Church of Scientology hasn't sunk its greedy fingers in his mind yet, but he's just starting out - a college drop-out who couldn't even finish a business degree.

That's why we prefer Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown), Flanagan's mentor who taught him everything he knew, and knows how to do it ten times better.
