Who is your ideal man portrayed in a movie?

[Bok_Tukalo]

As cheezy as the movie was, I'm going with Mark Thackeray in "To Sir, With Love."

The way a man should be. What an adult is.

1. Hugh Jackman (as Leopold) in "Kate & Leopold"

n/t

[kiraboo]

2. It's not a movie, but I'll take that gorgeous guy from E.R. You know,

the Serbian fellow. Ye Gods!

[lukasahero]

22. Goran Visnjic and he's not Serbian

he's Croatian. The mix-up might not go over so well. ;-)

And yes, he's gorgeous. He's also done movies - see "Welcome to Sarajevo" if you ever get the chance. He plays a character that will probably appeal to liberal women (and men if so inclined). He's also the "love interest" in the new Elektra movie playing another character that might be appreciated (although I haven't seen the movie and it's gotten pretty bad reviews).

3. Ewan McGregor as Christian in Moulin Rouge...

He can write me poetry any old time he wants. *swoon*

[Bok_Tukalo]

4. I obviously miscommunicated

I didn't mean who's hot.

[RevolutionaryActs]

6. I know. That would be my ideal man, honestly.

Sweet, caring, artistic(sounds like I'm describing Longgrain...), musically talented. That hot thing is just a plus! HAHAHAHA :)

11. You think my Serb isn't a man like a man oughta be?

Think again, my friend!

[SarahB]

5. Colin Firth

in Love Actually
in Bridget Jone's Diary
in Girl With a Pearl Earring
in about everything he's been in.

Quiet, thoughtful, brainy, handsome and apparently a bit screwy at times just makes me want to throw a man down and molest him in assorted ways.

[Bok_Tukalo]

7. You just described me

Although a little less quiet and a little more screwy.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

12. Aw

I loved him in Love Actually!

Good choice.

[Jade Fox]

8. Okay, he's not my ideal, but he looked damned good in a black leather.....

mini-skirt.

Brad Pitt in "Troy".

[hickman1937]

9. Paul Newman

Butch Cassidy
Donald Sutherland in Ordinary People.

[saltpoint]

15. hickman1937, your choice of Sutherland's character --

-- in ORDINARY PEOPLE is a winner for me.

Just a terrific character.

[hickman1937]

16. THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one.

Donald Sutherland's character in that movie has stayed with me for years. I thought I was the only one.:hi:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

10. Zach Braff in Garden State

[Reverend_Smitty]

13. Atticus Finch...

I read the book in 6th grade and fell in love with that character. Then when I saw Gregory Peck play him, that was it!

[Merope215]

17. I couldn't agree more! n/t

[saltpoint]

14. James Garner's role in MURPHY'S ROMANCE --

-- comes to mind, and I kind of like Dustin Hoffman's Michael in TOOTSIE, too.

The man who played Sam the Lion in the film THE LAST PICTURE SHOW -- who owned the moviehouse and was caretaker of Billy -- wow, what a great character.

[DerekG]

18. Tie: Henry Fonda's Tom Joad and James Stewart's George Bailey

Ponderous, haunted, compassionate...they were MEN, goddamn it.

[Az]

19. Kambei Shimada in the Seven Samurai

Leadership tempered by thoughtfulness. Measured and considered descisions. This is my ideal.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

20. Robert Duvall as Mac Sledge in Tender Mercies

[enigmatic]

21. Atticus Finch in "To Kill A Mockingbird"

all the others are pretenders..

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

23. I'll second that one...

Atticus is a brilliant lawyer. He's strong in his moral convictions. He's a great parent to his children.

And let me say as a straight male that he was hotter than hell.

24. George Clooney from Ocean's 11
