Seconding Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. Also: - Michael Fassbender as [David 8 in _Prometheus_](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6p7vx7dhkKY/UHvq1wJ_26I/AAAAAAAAGd0/9B5FW8sVpY4/s320/david+1015.gif) (he was the best part of that mediocre movie by far). [Particularly in a tight grey T-shirt](http://browngirlslovefassy.tumblr.com/image/32910868165). I could take him or leave him as a brunette/other, but as a blonde android, _hnngh_… - On a somewhat related note, [Peter O’Toole in _Lawrence of Arabia_](http://img2-2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090112/Biopics/Lawrence-of-arabia_l.jpg). ---

I knew I forgot some! Idris Elba as _Luther_. Ben Affleck, although handsome, doesn’t normally do it for me but he was pretty hot in _The Town_. Back in the day Leonardo DiCaprio completely made me swoony as Romeo but watching it now I feel squicky because even though in reality he’s actually older than I am he looks so YOUNG in it that I feel dirrrrty just looking at him. He was 21 when he made it but he looks about 15.
