ANOTHER POINTLESS LIST!
My 5 most crushworthy cinematic characters (in no particular order):
--Nino Quincampoix in Amelie (need I explain?):
--Willy Wonka (looking really rather Puppetmasteresque in this photo; the similarities do not end there, come to think of it) in the ORIGINAL Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory:
--Max Fischer in Rushmore (I am quite surprised that he's the only four-eyed dude to grace this list; Lennon wasn't sporting the iconic specs yet):
--Han Solo (as you can plainly see from my choices above, I don't normally like 'em this rugged or roguish, but let's face it, Han is irresistible. He also looks smashing in a vest):
--TIE: John Lennon as himself in A Hard Day's Night:
....and Tim Canterbury in the British Office (not technically a cinematic character, but he belongs on the list nonetheless):
That is, until they make a film version of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and cast my favourite hot actor Adrien Brody as my most crushworthy literary character Joe Kavalier (even though he's really too old for the part). Holden Caulfield is seriously high on that list too, of course, but I can't think of any young actor who could ever properly bring him to life.
EDIT: Hey, as long as I'm including TV characters (and inappropriately young boys), HOW could I leave Brian Krakow from My So-Called Life off the list?
--Ahem. AND. I'm literally old enough to be his mum, but I also have a mildly oogey thing for Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter series. He studies herbology, and the boy's got a beautiful overbite:
A few ladiez also worth mentioning:
--Patricia Franchini (yes, her character's a backstabbing femme fatale in a boatneck, but she's JUST.SO.FUCKING.BEAUTIFUL.) in Breathless:
--Anais Nin in Henry & June (OK, once again she is NOT an admirable character, which leads me to realize I'm objectifying the women--but frankly it's hard not to when they look like this:
--Any takers?
