Perhaps, but it’s a new experience for me. :eek: ---

1. **Jennifer Connelly** - She is my vision of the perfect woman. Sweet, smart, dark hair, and big, beautiful eyes. Toss in a gorgeous smile and I lose it. It also helps that she’s appeared in some of my favorite films. She is breathtakingly perfect. 2. **Jessica Alba** - OK, it would be a compliment to her if I said she was a mediocre actress. She’s really bad, but really pretty. When I gaze upon her heavenly visage I immediately lose all ability to think and reason and I simply stare in delight. 3. **Scarlett Johansson** - Although I’ve heard plenty of bad things (gossip) regarding her persona, and I don’t think she’s really done anything to make the movies she’s in better than they would have been, I still find myself completely enchanted by her beauty. The opening scene of _Lost in Translation_ really clinched it for me. ---

Oh, and it figures I’d forget **Helena Bonham Carter**! :smack: She is without a doubt one of the most “real” actress I’ve ever seen. There is a sort of quirky weirdness and sometimes grittiness that a lot of her characters (and she as well) seem to exude. I just find myself drawn to her whenever she’s on screen. In fact, she almost always steals the show. Plus, she’s really cute. _Charlie and the Chocolate Factory_ had far too little HBC! ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > Kate Winslet. Jeeeeezus Christ, what a sexy woman. I can’t think of any actress alive who exudes more sex appeal. Well, not to be dissing Kate Winslet (she is freaking beautiful), but when it comes to exuding sex appeal, you can’t beat Angelina Jolie. Around when I first started posting here we had a “who would you go gay for” thread, and all the straight girls wanted Nicole Kidman or Michelle Pfeiffer. We had another one some weeks back, and by then they all wanted Angelina Jolie because, to quote one of them, she’s “sex on legs”. She is, too. I can think of more beautiful women, but I take one look at Angelina Jolie and the only thing I can think is “I bet she shags like a minx”. ---

Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon. Did I mention Kevin? 🙂 Not only does he get more and more hot as each year passes, but he’s a hell of an actor and he has no problem with that “full frontal” thing. ::: SWOON ::: ---

I guess I’m a sucker for British Shakespearean actresses: Emma Thompson and Dame Helen Mirren. Elegance, spirit and exuberant sexuality. ---

Like lots of people who really should know better, I got a massive crush on Elijah Wood after LOTR. I think he’s actually pretty nicelooking, as well as being very talented and a very nice person. Of course, I would say that. He’s also starring in a film with the lovely Claire Forlani! When I was younger I had a massive crush on lovely, lovely Robert Donat. He has the sexiest voice in the world. Shame he is a little too old for me, though… ---

1. Sexy - Angelina Jolie - has has been said, she is sex on legs. I just don’t like the fact that she is tattooed all over. 2. Beautiful - Jennifer Connely - without a doubt (in my opinion) the most beautiful woman alive today. I don’t like the anorexic look she had at the Academy awards, but that face, those eyes, that smile !!! Swoon. ---

Claire Forlani was one of my former crushes and is still high on my list. Jennifer Love Hewitt, too. But my current dream girl is Brittany Murphy. ---

Catherine Zeta-Jones is, as a friend of mine once put it, absurdly attractive. But tell ya what, back in the _I Dream of Genie_ days \*\*Barbara Eden \*\* could stop a clock. I think \*\*Angelina Jolie \*\* is gorgeous, but she also seems like a pretty good person too. That in itself holds a certain appeal. I’ve always thought \*\*Meg Ryan \*\* was a cutie, as well as **Mira Sorvino**. ---

I’m seeing a lot of guys with great taste on here: Jennifer Connelly, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johanssen, Claire Forlani. All knockouts, and I agree on all counts. Alyson Hannigan is just my current favorite. ---

Claude Rains is my obsession. Of course, he is dead so that makes things complicated. My boyfriend says I suffer from “side show geek/freak chic;” I happen to crush over men so not noted for their beauty. Richard Belzer I would travel to the ends of the Earth for. Philip Seymor Hoffman (who people say my boyfriend resembles). And Steve Buscemi. Yes. I cannot explain my obsession with them. I just feel an inherent need to think of them. There are others in this category. Christian Bale and Christopher Meloni make my heart beat irregularly. There bunches of pretty people I do not quite obsess over (Angelina, Ewan, Brad, Monica, etc) but it is understood that if given the slightest chance to be with them, I will drop my boyfriend like a bad penny. Now, I feel like a dork for liking so many famous people I will never be with. I need to reevaluate my life. ---

Emma Thompson and Julia Sawalha. I could just… _sigh_ I could just sit and watch them / listen to them talk all day and be a very, very happy man.
