I just watched Lost in Translation for the 2nd time and I had to shout it to the world: Scarlett Johannsen’s character in that film is absolutely stunning. I was in rapture every moment she was on screen.
Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca ranks a close second, but I think Johannsen in Lost in Translation has to be my #1. It’s curious because I haven’t found her as attractive in other roles; I think it’s a combination of her natural beauty and the attractiveness of her character in that film.
Who’s your favorite? Happy to hear male/female/other. Also curious if you find that it’s film-specific, the way I do, or do you like a certain actor in anything.
Madeline Stowe’s character Dr. Katherine Railey from the Sci-Fi/Time Travel film “12 Monkeys” was possibly THE Perfect Woman; She was absolutely physically stunning, well educated, financially affluent, open-minded, independent, and above all, still single…
Yes, I think I am faintly in love with her in that movie. I honestly don’t think anybody else in this thread comes close.
ETA: It’s funny, I think Marion is rather plain and not pretty at all, and I don’t much like her personality. Still, she’s far better than Screeching Lady in the other movie.
Ewan McGregor playing Christian in Moulin Rouge. For the longest time I kept renting other Ewan McGregor movies and feeling vaguely disappointed until I realized it was the character I felt so attracted to and not the actor.
I love a man who sings and dances. When will Hugh Jackman make a musical dammit? (a movie I mean, I can’t be affording Broadway tickets).
Funny about the OP, I usually think Scarlett Johansson is pretty darn attractive, but I couldn’t believe how well she was hiding it in Lost in Translation.
