50 Sexiest People In Movies
Didn't do any work. Didn't manage any writing, recreational or otherwise. Have proven for once and for all my complete and utter lack of self-control.
Empire made a 50 Sexiest Women and 50 Sexiest Men list, and it SUCKS ASS, as I think as said before. Ahum. (RPATTZ comes in SECOND? SRSLY?) Surely, we can do better? Here's my shot at it, but please: add people if you want. I did mix my males and females, because I don't see the point of not doing that.
The Sexy List
50. Thandie Newton
Only ever really saw her in Mission: Impossible 2, but OH MAN, she was about the best thing in the movie (aside from, in that order: white doves, Nyah by Hans Zimmer & Heitor Perreia, and Tom Cruise hanging off the side of some rock looking like he doesn't have a care in the world).
49. Christina Ricci
She's sexy in a very creepy way. When she tries to be seductive though, she's epic fail - which is why she's not higher in the list.
48. James Woods
Admittedly, not the most handsome guy, but HIS VOICE IS SO GODDAMN SEXY. Forget Alan Rickman. Best part? He played Hades. HADES! 'nuff said.
47. Aaron Eckhart
Who's totally, totally hot in No Reservations; but totally not hot in Erin Brokovich. I'm torn and confused; and not entirely sure how he made the list.
46. Bai Ling
IIIIIIEEEEEE, Ling! She's one of my first celebrity crushes - I saw her in Red Corner opposite Richard Gere and she stole every single scene (and my heart). She's aged pretty well, too, but uses waaaaay too much make-up. But so sexy!
45. Antonio Banderas
Antonio Banderas is teh sex. See below for more arguments.
44. Neve Campbell
Neve was brilliant in Scream (well, she was totally cute in a kick-ass sort of way) AND she's a ballet danser! Hoorah!
43. Keanu Reeves
Sure, he acts like he's cut out of card board or - at best - cut out of card board, BUT nobody does smouldering hot vacant stares as well as he does. I mean, seriously: if you look like Keanu Reeves, you don't need to be able to convey deep emotional turmoil with the blink of an eye. You just need to stand still and face the camera from your best angle. (But, just for the record: dude can act. You'd have to know the film to know how incredible this scene is, but even if you don't, it's quite impressive.)
42. Gina Gershon
Bound. (According to YouTube "This video may not be suitable for minors.")
41. Clea DuVall
Being a non-lesbian, I don't generally root for a chick that talks / walks and sometimes even looks like a dude. But Clea DuVall is absolutely gorgeous, and a pretty good actress too.
40. River Phoenix
Tops Keanu because of dead-ness, but given that both appear in my favourite film (My Own Private Idaho), they should have been together. (If you watched the Keanu clip, they totally were.)
39. Brad Pitt
Sometimes he looks like a braindead monkey, but sometimes (Fight Club, The Devil's Own, the spectacular dress-shoot with Mark Seliger) he's just smoking hot. And he's growing old in a very hot way.
38. Ana Paquin
ANA! ANA! I loved her as Rogue especially.
37. Leonardo DiCaprio
He's a bit fat lately, but he's still got that intensity going for him, and he's still a brilliant brilliant actor - which by itself, I find amazingly sexy. So, for old drools' sake:
36. Matthew Fox
So okay, doctor Jack is not only a crashing bore but quite possibly the most annoying character on Lost that is not Kate. And Matthew Fox, despite being lauded as such on the commentary and extras of every Lost DVD box, is not the new Viggo Mortensen. But he's still gorgeous - I guess I just totally love the whole dark mysterious intense thing he's got going on. And the tats.
35. James Marsden
I LOVED him in Ally McBeal, because of his Sinatra-vibe, but ever since I saw 27 Dresses (tapes carofant's mouth shut) I've been even more head-over-heels for him.
34. Stephen Fry
Mmmmmmm..... Brilliant, funny, totally bipolar - what more could a girl want? But seriously, I would love to land a bloke like Stephen Fry.
33. Keira Knightley
Keira's picture turned out oddly small, but you all know her, so here goes nothing: I think Keira's totally sexy in Pride & Prejudice and Domino, and totally boring and uncool in POTC. Oh, and too bloody young in Bend It Like Beckham. Seriously.
32. Salma Hayek
Strangely enough, Salma turned out tiny too, which is weird. I can only guess her complete hotness blew Photobucket away, so it had to downsize her to not cause a site meltdown. Or something.
31. Minnie Driver
This is why. And this. Oh, totally this, too (start at 5:40).
30. Maggie Gyllenhaal
She's pretty, she's girlish but she's also pretty real and down-to-earth, and she's got great confidence. Maggie's totally cool. Which makes her sexy. Which makes her number 30.
29. Tom Cruise
Yup, he made it on the list. Because I like his nose. No seriously, I LOVE his nose. And his hair. Tom has great hair. Though sometimes, he's just funny.
28. Jude Law
There are two reasons why Jude Law made the list: My Blueberry Nights and The Holiday. But really, do you need more? (Oh, why the hell, not?)
27. Catherine Zeta Jones
She's always, always perfect, but never more than when she performed, awesomely pregnant and radiantly glowing, at the Oscars.
26. Hugh Laurie
The other half of Fry & Laurie, who made it higher up the list because of his baby blues.
25. Gong Li
Delightful, classy and a brilliant actress. And yes, I like Asian women. So I might be slightly prejudiced.
24. Katherine Hepburn
The original powerhouse woman: smarter, funnier, more brilliant and more handsome than any of her male contemporaries, yet also always in all things a woman. They don't come any better than Kate, though physically, she's not really my type.
23. Liam Neeson
One of my first ever 'adult movies' was Rob Roy, which featured Liam Neeson in a kilt. From that moment on, I've been ridiculously fond of this friendly giant. As for my favourite Liam moment, I'm torn between OMG HOT and OMG CUTE.
22. Eva Green
She's old Hollywood, but with a modern bite. And those eyes... my GOD!
21. Cate Blanchett
All the bravoure of Kate Hepburn, but so, so beautiful too.
20. Karl Urban
OH YEAH.
19. Marlon Brando
Obviously, before he got fat.
18. Winona Ryder
One of my first and no doubt immortal loves. She's stunningly beautiful, with those gorgeous soulful eyes and snowlike skin, and she's quirky and funny too. Johnny got it right the first time: Winona forever.
17. Drew Barrymore
I know some people find her annoying, but I don't. So there.
16. Scarlett Johansson
Surprise, surprise. She's a hate her or love her kind of girl, and I can't stand to hear her sing, but as long as all she has to do is pout and/or look pretty, I think she's perfect.
15. Jon Stewart
If I still need to explain this, you haven't been paying attention to this journal AT ALL.
14. Lucy Liu
Also ridiculously low on the list, for no clear reason at all, but hey: she made it. ROAWR.
13. Johnny Depp
Not in the top-10 because nowhere near as cool, sparkly, funny and/or brilliant as what's still to come. Not too bad though :)
12. Robert Downey Jr.
Oh Bob, how I love thee. Most of all when doing weepy screwball comedy. No, seriously, some of his best work ever, he did for Ally McBeal. How awesome is that?
11. Susan Sarandon
One of the most beautiful women in the world, imho. And smart. And politically all over my philosophical territory. Yeah, that matters too - someone who stands up for what I believe in? Big turn on.
10. Christian Bale
He's a lot lower in the list than I expected, but I guess it's because - despite being a very good actor - he doesn't have a lot going for him outside of his good looks.
09. Colin Firth
blue soup.
08. Angelina Jolie
She's basically the perfect woman: she's gorgeous, she's got a beautiful body, she's got those amazing tats, she does UN work, she actually knows what she's talking about when she talks microcredit or the position of women in politics and she landed Brad Pitt. However, she's too beautiful, and too perfect, and she's just not off enough to get any higher. But still, a respectable #8.
07. Natalie Portman
She's funny, she'a brilliant actress, she's ballsy AND she's drop dead gorgeous. Only downside: my brother thinks she's cute. And: her hideous, hideous giggle.
06. Monica Bellucci
Eh... ROAWR?
05. Rachel Weisz
Not a classical beauty, I guess, but her voice, her eyes, her jaw... My God. I love her best, still, in About a Boy.
04. James Spader
Here's seven reasons why:
1 (Ah, according to YouTube, "This video may not be suitable for minors".)
2
3
4
5
6
7
Also: he's a flamingo.
03. Sean Bean
No one who has known me outside of work for longer than five days could be surprised by this one, but just for good measure: OMG SEAN BEAN IS TOTALLY HOT AND I WANT TO HAVE HIS BABIES. There you go.
02. Kate Winslet
She's a lady. And a handful. And she has the most delightful smile.
01. Jodie Foster
Yeah, no surprises there. She had to make the top-10, and really, what other spot: she's amazingly smart, she's got those dimples when she smiles, she's got amazing eyes and that strong jawline AND she's a brilliant actress. All of which make her gorgeous and sexy. The fact that she bats for my team is a great virtual bonus :P
