I am so with you on these, although I’ve never seen Snape (I fell in love with AR in Sense and Sensibility).
The Full Monty was freakin’ hilarious and Mark Addy was my favorite. I, for one, found nothing at all wrong with his looks in any way!

Sliding Doors is actually really good. It’s the movie that made me discover the hotness of John Hannah. I’d seen Four Weddings before, but I guess I just didn’t notice (!). Then again, I actually like Four Weddings so YMMV (though sometimes I’ll skip ahead to the scene where Matthew’s speechifying). Don’t forget The Hurricane either, though once is enough for that one.
Ditto. I like her face.
I assume the previous poster meant Alan Rickman PLAYED Snape in the Harry Potter movies. Every woman I talk to thinks he’s sexy as hell (not only the actor, but also the character). What an unlikely sex symbol!
The key word here is “strangely.”
Sometimes I think Mary (“Eating Raoul”) Woronov is the most exotically beautiful women I’ve ever seen. And sometimes, I find her absolutely hideous. She’s frequently BOTH in the same movie!!!
No woman has ever turned me on and off and on and off so quickly in such rapid succession!
Conan O’Brien.
:o
almost every woman mentioned in this thread is conventionally pretty.
how can someone say they’re strangely attracted to sara silverman? she’s fucking hot!
i can’t really think of any women i find “strangely” attractive. it’s like having a “guilty” pleasure. i just don’t get it.
but one woman who kind of wierds me out is rachel wiesz. she can be super hot one second, and then sort of manly the next. same with paz vega. i saw “the other side of the bed” on ifc or sundance the other night and was mesmerized by her. so i looked her up on the internet, having never heard of her before, and none of the pictues looked remotely the same.
Ya know, Cap, I used to be in a comedy group with a girl that looked A LOT like Martha Plaimpton.
Since I lusted after Amanda, I guess I lusted after Martha by extension.
There’s nout strange about finding Helen Mirren attractive.
Now Kathy Burke (Waynetta Slob) and Victoria Wood are my strangely attractive celebrities
Heh, I didn’t know he was in The Hurricane.
Guess I better add all of these movies to my Netflix queue.
That face is unforgettable. Sometimes she reminds me of Christiane Amanpour from CNN. (I watch entirely too much CNN.)
Try as I might, I can’t resist Lili Taylor, even though she can go from sexy to troglodyte-ish in a single role.
Valarie Mahaffey, a pale, skinny, frazzled-looking comic actress with a voice like a five-alarm toothache, used to elicit in me a bizarre mixture of lust and revulsion.
Yet I nurtured unashamedly carnal feelings for SNL’s gangly squinty-eyed simpering dumbbell, Mary Gross.
TV decorator gal Lynette Jennings also got my motor running for awhile, although last time I saw her she’d pretty much turned into Tyne Daly.
Must add another one who really pulls me both ways: Italian tennis player Francesca Schiavone. Sleek body, hard rippling legs, pulled-back brown ponytail, and a face that is either classically Italian or crudely reptilian, or probably some of both.
Samantha Bee from The Daily Show.
Amy Poehler’s supposed to be the sexiest chick on Saturday Night Live right now. I’d go with Amy, but I’d be thinking of Tina Fey! Love that brainy-bony-classy-sassy look she has! GGRRROOOWWWLLLL!
these ones are just obscure and none of my 19 year old peers know who I’m talking about:
and
I’m the biggest Rachael Ray fan on the SDMB, my young friend! She is quite a tasty dish, I must say!
Well I haven’t read through this whole thread, but put me down for:
Hugo Weaving (come on, Agent Smith is hot, people!!)
Alan Rickman (that voice!)
Kevin Spacey (smart, snarky, and sexy: a nice combination)
John Hannah (see his version of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde)
Hmm, seems there’s something compelling about all those guys who play the baddies in films.
As Lisa-go-Blind mentioned, Sliding Doors is definitely worth it; I am not a big fan of Gwyneth Paltrow, but the story is good enough and John Hannah in this movie is to die for.
The Mummy is worth it in an “any chance to see John Hannah” way – and it’s good if you like Brendan Fraser, which I kind of do. Hannah’s character is not attractive at all (IMO), but it’s an ok action/fantasy flick.
I made the same amazingly stupid mistake: I didn’t tape any of the Rebus airings (though I watched them all) or his Jekyll & Hyde (which Eyebrows of Doom rightly praises). :smack:
I cancelled my digital cable a while back and haven’t been able to get BBC America ever since: is Rebus being shown now? I have a friend who gets that channel and has TiVo, and I’m wondering if I could get him to record it and then dub it to a tape for me . . . can’t tell him how much I want it, though, or I’d owe him for the rest of his life.
It’s nice to come across other Hannah fans, btw: so few of my friends even know who he is, let alone have the ability to understand my lust for him.
She’s probably tops on my list of, “strangely attractive.” There are plenty of women I find attractive that do not pop up on most men’s radar, but that most people would agree are, indeed, attractive. Julia Louis-Dreyfus comes to mind (and she’s rich !). But there is nothing on the surface that would characterize Samantha Bee as attractive. She just is.
And she’ll encourage you to get it done in 30 minutes!
