I can’t just pick one. 1. Michael Vartan as the cool, [hot teacher](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2569181184/nm0890232) in _Never Been Kissed_. Holy shitfuck, he was the most gorgeous piece of eye-candy I’d ever set my glazzies on when that movie came out (I was 15). I still think he was \*made \*for that role. 2. Patrick Wilson as Raoul in \*The Phantom of the Opera. \*Or _Hard Candy_. Or _Little Children_. In anything, really. I just love him as a person, and his singing voice, and his looks… le sigh. 3. Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. He’s untamable, with sexy eyeliner and high-quality wordplay in one perfect package. 4. Strangely, Uma Thurman in both _Kill Bill_s. Not that I find her physically attractive, because she is \*so \*not my type. Bug eyes and stringy hair and really weird toes? Normally I’d say no thanks. But she’s totally captivating because she’s just a great actress and the script was phenomenal. I find her almost criminally hideous, but even I almost believed she might be considered sexy to somebody else by the end of the movie. It was just written that well. 5. And, you’re going to laugh at me, but Janeane Garofalo in _[The Truth About Cats and Dogs](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117979/)_. She was ridiculously endearing and cute, and her character felt very real. ---

> [@Sarabellum1976](#): > > Grace Kelly, in just about every movie she was ever in. Obligatory man-post. She got my “attention” in _Mogambo_ IIRC – when she was wearing those pants, you could see her ass and her downtown and everything. Much more than in _Rear Window_ or _TCAT_ (although she was fine in the latter – swimming suits IIRC!!!). Best simmer down now, I need to wake up with a raging Gardner/Kelly dream going on. ---

Violente Placido. Holy crap. The thread title made me think immediately of Salma. I agree on the Violente thoughts and I would add Monica Bellucci in [Shoot 'Em Up (2007)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465602/) to add to **Elendil’s Heir** ’s mention of her persuasive looks. Long time back I was overwhelmed by the way Ingrid Bergman lit up the screen in [For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035896/) and I had pre-teen hots for Hedy Lamarr in everything I saw her in. ---

I think it’s sort of like ‘she’s tough on the outside, but she’s got a soft side that only I can bring out of her’. Anyway, MSM in “Some Kind of Wonderful” is definitely top 5 for me. ---
