Equal time: Most handsome male actor in cinema history...

[catpower2000]

I have to go with Cary Grant:



But Brando circa Streetcar was incredible:



And George Clooney is definitely climbing the charts in the present day:




Who's your pick?

Cat

edit: I forgot! Post pics if you have them!

[Rowdyboy]

1. Montgomery Cliff...

n/t

[arwalden]

7. Yes... Montgomery Clift Gets My Vote Too. But Don't Forget

Brendan Fraser

[izzie]

29. Flynn in the 40's and Cliff in 50's I think

Coleman was always good to look at also but he was getting old in my days,Peck after that was a man I thought pretty good looking.But then Newman has always been great. I just love good looking men.

[trof]

43. James Dean?

Naw, Cary Grant.
But Dean was coolest.

[soleft]

2. Early Mel, but his soul eventually made him ugly

[XNASA]

3. Gotta be Gregory Peck.

At least that's what I'm told by da missus.

[davidinalameda]

4. Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall

gods I could have eaten him up with a spoon!

Brandon Lee was extremely hot--shame he only did The Crow.

His father wasn't chicken feed either

[TNDemo]

30. Oh yes - Brad.

Boy, after I saw Legends of the Fall Brad was subject of many of my fantasies. I wish he would grow his hair out again. And of course leave Jennifer for me.

[greekspeak]

46. Brad was hottest in Thelma and Louise

Man was he hot in that. And not yet spoiled by fame. I can make these judgements...we attended the same highschool (Kickapoo in Springfield, Missouri). But not at the same time. He is a good ten years my senior.

I have odd taste though. Couple of other men who I find attractive at their height of glory are Bobby Daren and Sal Mineo. Course, I would not turn down a date with Marlon Brando, James Dean, or Rock Hudson, all circa 1953

[SiouxJ]

5. Gregory Peck, Cary Grant and Johnny Depp

those are my picks anyway.

[slappypan]

6. Paul Newman

And beautiful on the inside, too.

[TNDemo]

10. I go with a young Paul New man too. Yowza.

Rock Hudson wasn't so bad either except I wouldn't have been his type.

[Rich Hunt]

34. me three

Paul all the way.

[blm]

42. Tyrone Power, Gregory Peck, Paul Newman

and Keith from Six Feet Under.

[TlalocW]

8. They all pale next to...

Fred Gwynne from his Munsters days.

TlalocW

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I'm with you on Cary Grant....

No one matches the look, with the voice....MMMMMMMmmmmmmMMMMMMMmmmmMMMM

[TrogL]

11. Sean Connery

still, after all these years.

[5thGenDemocrat]

23. Well, Polly says

She'd take Sean Connery today and Omar Sharif any time and at the same time.
John
I'd go with Paul Newman -- but not that way (so stop saying that).

[sierrak9s]

35. Sean Connery

But only after all these years. Until the 1980's, bleagh. He was only so-so as a young man. As an older man? Breathtaking!

[searchingforlight]

12. These are all hard to pick from but I would like

to throw in Sidney Poitier and young Gary Cooper.

[GOPisEvil]

13. How about Rudolph Valentino?

Millions of women in the 1920s couldn't have been wrong, eh?

[cherryperry]

14. Definitely Gregory Peck

and Paul Newman and Denzel Washington and Andy Garcia

[catzies]

15. Cary Grant is eternal, all-around, world class, etc. etc.

My vote for modern most beautiful face is James Caviezel even though he's prob. a freeper-creeper.







Honorable mention goes to George Clooney. Meow.

[MasonJar]

17. Clark Gable in GWTW and It Happened One Night

Clark Gable has to be up at the top, but I'd never disagree about Cary Grant or Paul Newman.

[Kahuna]

16. You guys are blind. Rock Hudson...THEN, Cary Grant..

That's number one and two, PERIOD.

[Lady President]

27. Agree about Rock Hudson and Cary Grant!

I might not have been his type, but anyone who could look amazing in a green leisure suit (e.g. McMillian and Wife) has to be perfect. He was the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome.

I have to also give a nod to Cary Grant, George Clooney, and Robert Redford. Thank goodness for Clooney because no one today can carry off a tux like the old stars could.

[mitchum]

18. (the younger) Eric Roberts

Charlton Heston (I know, I know...)
Sidney Poitier
Elvis Presley
John Ireland
Marlon Brando
Paul Newman

[radwriter0555]

19. GEORGE!!! oh GEORGE. alive AND straight, AND single..

what more can a gal ask for?

[GOPisEvil]

His phone number...

...although, speaking as a man, I'm not sure I qualify to answer. ;-)

[radwriter0555]

39. He WOULD love me if he knew me... Wouldn't he look GREAT with a gal on his

arm that looks just like Annette Benning?

WITH a brain? AND a really vocal democrat?

He would love me... I know he would.

Wish he had my number! lol!

[arcane1]

20. what? No Jude Law?

Not a bad looking fella...

[carolinayellowdog]

28. Blonds don't age well-- e.g. Redford

who was once widely considered the hottest man in Hollywood. Or Corbin Bernsen, an idol at 35, old-looking by 40. Troy Donahue, Tab Hunter, Jean Marais, Jeff Bridges-- I can't think of any blond actor who aged very well. Keith Carradine is doing OK but looked his best early in his career:

[smirkymonkey]

38. Jude Law is not a bad looking woman either...

Sorry, he's just a bit to pretty to be considered "handsome" - you need some manliness to be handsome IMHO...:)

[MountainLaurel]

21. Mmmm, Gregory Peck

Also have to throw some votes in for:

Sean Connery
Rex Harrison
Cary Grant
Denzel Washington
Ciaran Hinds
Timothy Dalton

[Romey]

22. William Holden

Especially in "Picnic"

[Ediacara]

24. Jonathon Rhys-Meyers and Elijah Wood

JRM Was Chiron in Titus, as well as the coach in Bend it Like Beckham





EW was Frodo most recently, but has been in a lot of other stuff

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

25. Nice pictures!

I was looking for pictures of two movies, but couldn't find a good one. For two movies, full of georgeous manly men, I recommend "The Great Escape" and The Magnificent Seven." Guys like Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, James Garner, David McCallum and more! They could all be in Mistress Calamity's prison camp any time they wanted.

[buddhamama]

26. Gregory Peck

can't seperate the man from the role Mr.Finch
he his good looking for real though, and exactly my type.

[tjdee]

31. Yul Brynner and JUDE Law....and Cary.

So many votes for Cary already, who I :loveya:

so how's about some Yul:


Those eyes! Those lips!


And Jude. His features are almost unreal, and while he has a very beautiful face, there is the slightest hint of a ruggedness about him.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

36. I loved Yul as the menacing cowboy android in Westworld

He was hot!

[SOteric]

32. Christopher Reeve

And still one of the most admirable of men.

[leftist_rebel1569]

33. I choose...

ME! Although I haven't starred in any high-profile movies yet, my time is coming...

[Scout]

37. agree with many already listed

would like to add Frank Langella, in his Dracula days ... mmmmmm bite my neck, baby!

Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Mel Gibson (loved his long hair in MM3), Brad Pitt, Robert Redford (esp. as Sundance), George Clooney.... so many men, so little time

[dback]

40. Horst Bucholtz ("One, Two, Three" "The Magnificent Seven")

I saw a picture of him in "One Two Three" when I was in high school, and I don't think I ever recovered.

Other great ones: William MacNamarra, Billy Campbell, Tab Hunter, and especially Richard Gere.

Some online critic wrote about taking a VERY straight friend with her to an advance screening of "Ocean's Eleven." When George Clooney got off the elevator in his checkered sport coat, her friend made a sound somewhere between a whimper and a sigh and slouched in his seat; when she looked over at him, he whispered, "OK, that's it--I'm gay." I remember another male critic had a similar reaction after seeing Antonio Banderas in "The Mask of Zorro."

[smirkymonkey]

41. Gregory Peck, hands down...

Also, Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne (both Irish)

[Kahuna]

44. Rock hudson pics

[Mz Pip]

45. Cary Grant

gets my vote.

No one has mentioned Johnny Depp. I think he is pretty fine, too.

MzPip
:dem:

[cayanne]

47. Denzel Washington

He's handsome inside and out.

I'll admit that all the ones listed here are really close seconds.
