I'm literally speechless. The eyes! The smile! The chest hair in #14! Thank you SO much, it's the perfect birthday present :oD :oD :oD :oD

So have you got this film then? And do you recommend it? I was um-ing and ah-ing over whether to get it or not but seeing these pics I think I might have to go ahead and order!

Thank you again! You star!

Oh, I'm so happy you enjoyed them. :D He does look quite yummy in this film, doesn't he? Sadly, I'm not quite sure if that's enough to recommend buying it (I was able to rent it, myself) as the movie itself left me rather unimpressed and I had a difficult time summoning much sympathy for either of the lead characters. And while it features half-naked Mark Strong in a romantic, sensitive guy role, there's not nearly enough of him. So... if you can get it used or fairly inexpensively, I'd recommend it just for yummy Mark Strong, but otherwise I'd give it a pass.

Have you seen The Long Firm? Interestingly, I thought that he had better chemistry with Lena Headey in that.

Yes, what I've read about the film doesn't really inspire me, although it is only £3.99 from Play.com and he is looking incredibly yummy...

I really want to get the Long Firm on DVD, I saw a bit of it when it was first on TV a while back but ended up missing a load of episodes. I might make it a new year's purchase!

What would you say your favourite Mark Strong film is?

Thanks again so much for the pics :D

Hmmm, another tough question. I would have to say Stardust, simply for having invested so much in the developing fan community these past few months, but in terms of what I think is Mark Strong's best performance... The Long Firm, definitely. I've also quite enjoyed re-watching Our Friends in the North recently. OK, so technically neither of those are films, but he has done some of his best work for television. :)

How about you? And by all means, feel free to icon away. :D I'm hoping to get a chance to work on some icons over winter break.

Hmmm...it is a tricky question. I really loved him as the Duke of Norfolk, but Mr Knightley is also one of my favourites. I do so love him when he's playing a 'bad boy' though...*swoon*

I made an icon although it's not very good :( But at least he's wearing minimal clothing :)

Merry (belated) Yule! Hope you're having a good time wherever you are and whatever you're up to!

Oooh, and another thing...would you mind if I attempted to make an icon out of one of the pics? I'm sure you can guess which one!
