In What Movie Or TV Role did An Actor or Actress Look Their Very Best?

Matthew Perry looked great for friends.

Never had the hots for Tom Cruise - short, asexual man with a chip on his shoulder in every role. Not even a hint of sensuality.

Richard Gere in American Gigolo.

Heath Ledger- A Knights Tale

Baldwin and Basinger both peaked in The Marrying Man.

Charlie Hunnam- Queer as Folk

Christopher Plummer in that movie he hates.

DiCaprio peaked in Romeo and Juliet.

Linda Hamilton - Terminator 2

Susan Sarandon -- Atlantic City

Ewan McGregor in the Pillow Book.

Bill Campbell- The Rocketeer

Jonathan Frid- Denture Creme commercial

Charlie Sheen in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

Winona Ryder in Dracula.

Uma Thurman in Gattaca

I wish I knew how to attach a picture. I wanted to put a picture of Dom DeLuise in with his shirt off.

Sarah Michelle Gellar in the third season of Buffy. Right before she lost too much weight, and her face never recovered.

Maggie Cheung - In the Mood for Love.

James McAvoy in Welcome to the Punch. Kind of a crappy movie, but he never looked so good.

Anne Hathaway in the Devil Wears Prada (second half):

Natasha Richardson in Maid in Manhattan

Fassbender in the Counselor. About the last film he made before the drinking really started to show in his face.

Quentin Tarantino in...errr....nothing?

Eww, R69.

Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice.

Tom Cruise- Tropic Thunder

Many would say Vivien Leigh was at her most beautiful when she made Gone With the Wind, but I found her more beautiful in Fire Over England.

Chris Hemsworth - Vacation

Kidman and Cruise both looked fantastic around the time they did Eyes Wide Shut. This photoshoot is one of the only ones I've seen where they have any chemistry at all.

There's no "chemistry" at all in that photo at R74. It's a posed picture; very fake. A really pathetic attempt to be "sexy."

Chris Evans in the first Captain Avenger. Damn.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson in ‘Anna Karenina’

Mel Gibson- Gallipoli

Madonna never looked prettier than in the Open Your Heart video, when she was still young enough to pull off the extreme diet/exercise regime without wrecking her face.

Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift in "A Place In The Sun." Both were at their absolute peak gorgeousness then.

Let's not forget Newman and Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Olivier in Wuthering Heights

Ava Gardner- The Barefoot Contessa

[quote]I wish I knew how to attach a picture. I wanted to put a picture of Dom DeLuise in with his shirt off.

You just copy the web address and paste it into the box labelled "Web Site Link".

Harrison Ford in Witness

Diane Keaton in the first Father of the Bride

Gregory Peck - Spellbound

Sophia - The Countess from Hong Kong

Yes, R3! Imagine signing up for young Kathleen Turner, only to find the version of 2.5 seconds later. Reminds me of every Russian man’s perennial nightmare: Babe to Babushka Overnight.

for R87

M in STAB, later retitled "In the Still of the Night"

(one of her worst movies)

Grace- Rear Window

Both Rock Hudson and Doris Day - Pillow Talk

Liza in Arthur

Oh, R92, you missed the greatest intro of a character ever shot in movies! Exquisite!

Lon Chaney,Jr. in "The Wolf Man"

Maria Ouspenskaya in "The Wolf Man"

"Madonna never looked prettier than in the Open Your Heart video, when she was still young enough to pull off the extreme diet/exercise regime without wrecking her face."

We're talking about actors and actresses (Madonna could never be considered an "actress") in tv or movie roles, not music videos.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love.

Guy Madison- Since You Went Away

G in Fatal Attraction

I think Streep is very pretty in Kramer vs Kramer

Eric Stoltz- Mask

Edward Norton American History X

Tried to attach a pic but the link didnt work

Michael York and Jacqueline Bisset In Murder on the Orient Express from 1974.

Here you go.

I found Stoltz really hot as the hippie drug dealer in Pulp Fiction. In my personal head canon, he's the same stoner character from Fast Times at Ridgemont High all grown up.

Stoltz in Ridgemont:

Henry Cavill- The Tudors

Cher in Moonstruck

Nicolas Cage / The Boy in Blue

Jeff Bridges in Against All Odds. Just stunning.

Jeff Goldblum-The Fly

Keanu- My Own Private Idaho

Their combined smiles alone could power a small country for a year, R93.

No, R86. It's Diane Keaton in Looking for Mr. Goodbar.

Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge In Carmen Jones.

Matt Damon- Good Will Hunting

R118, see R4.

Matt Reeves- Good Will Hunting ^

Meryl Streep in Manhattan

Nathan Fillion - Buffy

Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca.

Jeff Quinn in Splash Shots 2.

Michael Redgrave in 'Secret Beyond the Door' in1947

Sorry about double post in R124 and R127. The site went into a jerky parallel universe. Don't understand its glitchiness at times.

Timothy Olyphant in The Crazies

Rita Hayworth IS Gilda.

Peter Krause - season 1 of SFU

Me??

John Krasinski- Something Borrowed

Miss Lotte Lenya- From Russia With Love

Jeff Langenderfer- Your Asslick Park

I thought Ava Gardner was at her most ravishing in The Killers — the very definition of a femme fatale.

Not this one. Jeff Goldblum trying too hard to be sexy.

Anything Gary Cooper in early years.

She was never that sweet, but Meryl looked lovely and natural in The Deer Hunter.

[quote]Nathan Fillion - Buffy

Clearly, it's Nathan Fillion in Firefly

Cary Grant, in everything

R14 that’s from The Long, Hot Summer. That was going to be my choice, as well.

That movie was the first time I’d ever seen Paul Newman and I thought he was the best looking thing I’d ever seen.

(It was the scene where he was digging holes for a fence that did it for me. Yum.)

Elder Cary Grant was very handsome in To Catch A Thief.

Harrison Ford in Temple of Doom

Warren Beatty in Splendor in the Grass.

Marilyn in Bus Stop.

Actually I think Marilyn Monroe looked her best in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." She was at the most glamorous and sexy in that. In 'Bus Stop" she was wearing that harsh white makeup, supposedly to represent her character's lack of exposure to sunlight (she worked nights and slept during the day).

Tom Welling- Smallville

Trevor Donovan- 90210

Justin Hartley-Revenge

Madonna in Evita.

Bette Davis- Cabin In The Cotton

James was still lovely at age 50 when he started taking supporting roles.

Joan Crawford- Humoresque

Yvonne De Carlo

Jane Seymour - Somewhere in Time

Joe Gordon Levitt-Mysterious Skin

Audrey- Sabrina

Hedy Lamarr - Ziegfeld Girl

Ramon Navarro- The Pagan

Ed Harris - Knightriders

Clint Walker....some bear movie.

Theo James- Downton Abbey

Woody Harrelson in The Cowboy Way.

R3 -I agree.

Rob Lowe- Slapshot

Hard to argue with Temple of Doom, but I also like Blade Runner for Harrison

Jared Leto- Highway

Angelina Jolie- Alexander

Richard Gere - Breathless

Colin Farrell- Home At The End of The World

I thought Meryl looked good in The Hours. Not crazy about the movie.

Grace Jones - A View to a Kill

Robert Duvall in To Kill A Mockingbird. Aging is a bitch.

Jennifer Lawrence- My Dinner With Harvey

Probably most here prefer 80s Matt Dillon but I thought he looked perfect in You, Me and Dupree.

Channing Tatum-Hail Ceasar

Matt McConaughey in A Time To Kill.

Lol. That's awesome, R179.

dermot mulroney - wedding date

David Boreanaz from season 3 of Buffy.

Our favorite ingenue: Olivia de Havilland. Was she not stunning in To Each His Own?

R184 now that’s seriously beauty!

Roy Scheider - The Seven Ups

Garrett Hedlund - On The Road

Josh Hartnett- Pearl Harbor

Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth. Cary Grant looks pretty damn good, too.

Macaulay Culkin’s shirtless scene in Home Alone!

Mel Gibson in "The Year of Living Dangerously"

Sophia Loren in "Arabesque"

Mel Gibson in Mrs. Soffel.

Russell Crowe - gladiator

Mel Gibson never looked as beautiful as in The River.

Damn. Why did my photo of Sophia Loren in "Arabesque" get deleted?

That's bizarre. Now it's back.

Because you masturbate, r221/222.

Doesn't everyone, R223?

Don Johnson in “The Long Hot Summer”.

Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour.

patrick swayze dirty dancing

Faye Dunaway in The Arrangement

John Gavin in Psycho.

Vivien Leigh in Waterloo Bridge.

Willem Dafoe in Mississippi Burning

I was going to say Grace Kelly in "Rear Window", but a few others have mentioned her already.

Rod Taylor in "The Birds".

Christopher Reeve in that frau favourite flick "Somewhere in Time"

(cheating just a bit and naming a music video) Whitney Houston in the video for "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?"

James Garner in "The Americanization of Emily" and "Torn Curtain", his two 1960s movies with Julie Andrews

Babs in "Funny Girl". The jokes about her looks in the film seem outdated and odd now. She was attractive and sexy even if she didn't conform to the prevalent WASP beauty standards of the day.

Nick Nolte in Prince of Tides

Guy Pearce in L.A. Confidential.

Marilyn Monroe, Some thing's Got To Give

Sharon Stone was radiant in Basic Instinct.

I think the beaver shot upstages all the scenes where she looks great.

Everything before and after BA she was just ok looking. Even casino with that 60 pound dress she looked ok. Plus she was a supporting character.

Colton!

Sandy - Miss Congeniality

Phoebe Cates - Fast Times

Michael Schoeffling in 16 Candles.

As Dorothy told Blanche: "Noone has ever looked as good as you do now and...noone ever will!"

Schoeffling just shuffled off into his own truth and is apparently as happy as he can be, making quality furniture.

Sharon Stone looked super hot when she beat the shit out of Arnold in Total Recall.

Jared Padalecki during the early SPN years. It's been downhill ever since both looks and personality-wise.

Chris Evans as the Harvard Hottie in The Nannie Diaries (2007)

A fresh faced LiLo in Mean Girls.

Evan Green in Kingdom of Heaven

Katherine Heigl (Roswell)

Johnny Depp in From Hell and the first Pirate movie, around 2000

Man Of Steel

James Dean and Marlon Brando in “Cat on a hot tin roof.” Absolutely dreamy 🤤

Ralph Fiennes in Quiz Show

Richard Gere in Officer and a Gentleman.

Gary Oldman AND Tim Roth in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.

Luke Halpin in “Flipper.”

Christopher Meloni in “Oz.”

Sherilyn Fenn was so cute in Just One Of The Guys.

Richard Simmons in “Dancin’ to the Oldies.”

Jason Patric in “Lost Boys.”

Rodney Harvey in "Initiation."

Corey Haim in “Prayer of the Rollerboys.”

Jessica Biel before JT sucked the life out of her.

Anton Yelchin in Salvation

Nick Robinson in “Love Simon” (the shower scene where his dad gets REALLY close to him is hot)

Emory Cohen

The Place Beyond the Pines

I love this thread so much. Thanks, OP! Btw, fellow posters, Is there a way I can save this thread that does not rely on DL's bizarrely wonky thread watcher? Thanks.

Can you add a bookmark on your computer, R264?

Madonna - Dick Tracy

Errol Flynn - Captain Blood

I thought Meryl Streep looked her best in nearly all her earlier roles: "Holocaust", "The Seduction of Joe Tynan", "Manhattan", "Kramer Vs. Kramer", "The Deer Hunter." She was beautiful in all of them.

Cameron Diaz in The Mask

Brooke Adams in Lace.

Jeff Daniels- Something Wild

Mark Harmon - Coors TV commercials

Garret Dillahunt - Raising Hope

Hugh Grant- Bridget Jones Diary

Jensen Ackles in Supernatural.

Clive Owen - Sin City

Mario Lopez in Saved by the Bell

Vivien Leigh as Emma Hamilton in [italic]That Hamilton Woman[/italic]

Chris Atkins Blue Lagoon

Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard in Frances

Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep in the two movies they did together --Falling in Love and The DeerHunter

Sorry, youth-obsessed lads but Merryl looked her absolute best in The Devil Wears Prada. She was sexy AF which she wasn't in her youth. Like wine, some people just gain something with age. I'm sure there are other examples of actors who look better when older too.

Olivia Newton-John - Xanadu (1980)

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

He did fill out that loincloth 😋

Although he played a sick creep, Jason Patric never was more physically hot IMO than in “Your Friends and Neighbors”.

R277 flawless beauty.

R241 - Yes. R246- First years of Grey’s.

Jennifer Aniston - Just Go With It.

Gerard Butler in Dracula 2000, even though it was an awful movie.

Gale Harold never looked better than in the Queer as Folk US pilot episode.

Lorraine Bracco really worked the 60s/70s mob housewife drag in Goodfellas.

Gillian Anderson around the time of the first X-Files movie, before she lost too much weight and became increasingly haggard.

David Duchovny and Gillian were a very good-looking pairing back then.

Angelina Jolie in Mrs. and Mrs. Smith. Still had some meat on her bones and hadn't gone overboard with the plastic surgery.

Christine Taylor

Natalie Portman in Closer. Not many people can make a candy-pink wig work, but she did, and her bod was banging.

She and Clive Owen had smoking chemistry in this scene.

Linus Roache - hottest Priest ever.

Tom was handsome in Magnolia, with stubble and long hair. He was quite good in that role.

Heather Graham in Austin Powers. The movie was stupid, but she looked great.

Jean Harlow in Hells Angels. Her makeup and hair look odd to modern eyes, but in 1930 terms she as pure sex. The transparent dress (yay pre-Hayes Code!) certainly helped.

Catherine Zeta Jones in Chicago. That was a fantastic hairstyle on her.

I agree that it's one of the only films in which Cruise has any sex appeal at all (I'm in the minority on this, but even as a young man he seemed robotic to me).

Viggo Mortensen In 28 Days

Catherine Zeta-Jones in America’s Sweetheart

Julia Roberts in Mystic Pizza, long before her sour personality began to show on her face.

Robert Redford in barefoot in the park

Pierce Brosnan in goldeneye

Bette Davis as Empress Carlotta in [italic]Juarez[/italic]

pierce brosnan in mrs doubtfire

McBongo at his peak...

Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward in Against All Odds.

Patrick Wilson in Little Children

Steve Guttenberg’s chest in Cocoon.

Ruppert Everett-Another Country

Rupert Graves- Maurice

I liked the douchey working class Bruce Willis in Moonlighting.

James Norton in Season One of Happy Valley.

Alicia Silverstone in Clueless

Catharine Zeta Jones in The Mask of Zorro

Jaren Leto and Colin Farrell in Alexander.

Shannen Doherty (Charmed)

Hugh Grant in "Maurice"

So Little Time

Anne Bancroft, To Be or Not to Be.

Ladies, the Blouse Man is on the premises!

Viggo was hot af in A Walk on the Moon

"She and Clive Owen had smoking chemistry in this scene."

Did we watch the same movie? Also, her boobs are too small to be a stripper

Colin Farrell did NOT look good in Alexander, thanks to the worst wig in movie history

James McAvoy was so pretty in Atonement. I think he looked his best here.

Jamie Lee Curtis - True Lies

Keira Knightley also looked her most beautiful in Atonement, R327. It's a pretty great movie tbh.

Kirsten Dunst - The Cat's Meow. The 20s styles suited her well.

Beyonce in Dreamgirls. Her slimmer figure really showcased what a classic beauty she is.

By far, Colin Farrell in Minority Report although Forgotten Beasts is a very close second.

Good one r182, but I say Dermot Mulroney in "My Best Friend's Wedding"

Brad Pitt in "Mr and Ms. Smith" Zaddy!!!!

Hell, both of them looked their best in my eyes. "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" can't blame them for fucking after all that chemistry.

Greg Wise in Sense and Sensibility. Perfect Willoughby.

And Alan Rickman, too. He looked good as the blond Colonel Brandon.

R305 - Julia had some extra weight in Mystic Pizza. I thought she looked best in Pretty Woman.

Kate Winslet looked great in Sense and Sensibility, too

Tyler Hoechlin from Teen Wolf

Tyler Hoechlin from Teen Wolf

Lee Remick, Anatomy of A Murder.

Viggo Mortensen in A Walk on the Moon

Angelina in her Lara Croft days.

John Ritter - Three’s Company

Billy Campbell was mentioned in "The Rocketeer," but Jennifer Connelly was smoking hot in that film too. That white satin dress may have been part of that...

^ fat^

R346 nope.

Ben Affleck: Runner, Runner

Charlize Theron, The Cider House Rules.

Jennifer and Billy were such a beautiful-looking couple in that movie and in real life.

Jennifer Connelly was way too fat @ R350. She needs to lose about 40 lbs to bring out her bone structure. And she has old lady breasts. She fixed these things I hope. Who is she?

Jennifer was absolutely beautiful before she got anorexic and started looking too manly. Get your eyes checked.

Jamie Dornan in Marie Antoinette

Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette.

Hepburn and Finney - Two for the Road

Laurence Fishburne - Othello

Hines and Baryshnikov - White Nights

Robert Redford - Little Fauss and Big Halsey

Julie Christie and Terence Stamp in Far from the Madding Crowd

Rufus Sewell - Everything

Stellan Skarsgård - Insomnia

Denzel Washington in Devil in the Blue Dress

Vincent Perez - Ceux qui m'aiment prendront le train

Blair Underwood - L A Law

Diego Luna - Solo Quiero Caminar

Mikael Persbrandt - Beck TV series

Eva Mendes in Once Upon a Time in Mexico

Kristofer Hivju - Game of Thrones and Beck TV series

R346- No.

R345- Jennifer had a fairly long run of looking gorgeous, but I would say that she was at her peak in Inventing the Abbots.

Alexander Skarsgard in True Blood

Mario Casas - Grupo 7

I'm sad that Jennifer Connelly's eating disorder caused her to be so fat. She maybe could have been a successful actress if she had her weight under control. She had a pretty face. She's like that designing woman. She ate herself out of work and then lost her mind. Is Jennifer still alive?

I'll always love Viggo as Aragorn in LOTR.

Tom Cruise in "Cocktail"

Glenn Close in Albert Nobbs

Takeshi Kaneshiro - House of Flying Daggers

Jane Fonda and Robert Redford in Barefoot in the Park

Bryan Brown - The Thorn Birds

Charles Mesure - Street Legal (EnZed TV series)

She's often beautiful, always lovely. How come no Jessica Lange? I looked at photos of her film roles but can't decide. Was she her very best looking in Tootsie, Frances, King Kong, Rob Roy or Crimes of The Heart? Somebody with some guts should post something.

Much like Marilyn, OUR Jessica looks more beautiful in real life photos than she ever did on the screen. Somebody post something. I'll vote for Tootsie.

Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams. I love a good looking guy in a old pair of jeans.

R283 - Jeremy was hot then yet I prefer the slightly older Jeremy in Damage and especially the Lolita remake.

Robert Patrick looked good as John Doggett in the X-Files. I liked him as Mulder’s replacement.

Val Kilmer as Madmartigan in Willow. He looked great with long brown hair.

Sam Neill In Dead Calm. Probably many prefer the younger Neill from his Reilly Ace of Spies days but it was Dead Calm where he made the transition to hot DILF.

R381 - for me it’s Costner in American Flyers. The Chad Douglas pornstache he sported in the film only made him hotter!

Liam Neeson in Satisfaction.

R373 wins the thread.

Benoit Magimel in Thieves.

Benoit Magimel - La Pianiste

Mattieu Kassovitz - Amelie

Daniel Auteuil - La Fille sur le Pont

Sean Penn in AT Close Range

Kim Rossi Stuart - Everything

Richard Berry - La Balance

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think Orlando Bloom only looked hot as Legolas in Lord of the Rings.

John Schneider in Dukes of Hazzard.

Frank Langella - Diary of a Mad Housewife

Matthew Modine and everyone else in the deliciously homoerotic Vision Quest. It also has Jake Ryan (shirtless!) and Madonna music.

r359, Alan Bates also looked gorgeous in Far From the Madding Crowd

Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard - sassy and beautiful

Meryl Streep in Out Of Africa

Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites

Winona Ryder - Bram Stoker's Dracula (her performance was awful, but she looked great)

Scott Gurney in The Fluffer. He was robbed of the Academy Award in 2001 for that movie 😠

Perhaps he looked good in Top Gun but I have never been able to sit through the film-

Amanda Peet in One Fine Day

Catherine Zeta Jones in Intolerable Cruelty

Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct

Meryl in "Manhattan" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" could be considered the same as she filmed "Manhattan" during breaks from "Kramer."

Courteney Cox in Friends the early seasons 1-4

Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys

Joan Collins in Dynasty

I think this is from "Into the Night."

Halle Berry in Die Another Day

I liked Dame Joan when she had the Bettie Page bangs.

'Morocco' features Cooper and Dietrich both at peak beauty.

1930 was a good year for Cooper.

From The Spoilers

I like this Whitney look from The Bodyguard..who knew it would inspire such an epic fail for Madonna decades later

Naomi Watts in The Ring. Maybe it was the contrast between the Seattle grey weather and her blonde hair and blue eyes.

For Ava Gardner there have mentions of The Killers and The Barefoot Contessa but my choice for Ava is Pandora and the Flying Dutchman.

Streisand, The Way We Were

Why not "Once Touch of Venus."

*One

Chris O'Donnell in Fried Green Tomatoes.

Eric Bana in Black Hawk Down

Runners up were Troy and Munich, but I like him with short hair.

BHD had so many hot guys in it: Tom Hardy, Hugh Dancy, Evan McGregor, Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, Josh Hartnett, Jason Isaacs, William Fichner, Orlando Bloom, etc. too bad it’s so depressing.

Angela Lansbury in "Beauty and the Beast"

Benjamin Bratt in “Blood in, blood out.”

Ryan Guzman in “The Boy Next Door.”

Jimmy Smits in The Tommyknockers. Nine year old me had such a crush on him here.

Brook Shields in every frame of Endless Love.

R380 - I agree. Tootsie.

R411 - Courtney looked her best when she had the curls he had in Family Ties.

Eric Roberts - "King of the Gypsies"

Mickey Rourke - "Diner"

Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting: "Romeo and Juliet"

Cybill Shepherd: "The Last Picture Show"

Louise Brooks: "Pandora's Box"

More Rufus Sewell in the wonderful and extremely funny "Cold Comfort Farm."

Michael Pitt in The Dreamers

Brains as well as beauty

I disagree, R426. I say Eric Bana on the cover of his comedy album.

Helen Hunt in Pioneer Woman

Stanley Tucci - Easy A.

Michelle Pfeiffer, Wolf:

Scott Wolf “White Squall” ❤️ (and all the other boys in that movie

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman

Julia Roberts in My Best Friend’s Wedding

Richard Gere in Pretty Woman

Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton in MI2

Tyrese and Taraji P Henson in Baby Boy

Campbell Scott in Longtime Companion

R278 Probably the first guy I found lookig at. I was young and had no idea why I opened the magazine his picture was and wanted to look at him again and again. Never liked the hair. I prefered him in Dallas because it was few years later and he looked delicious in his tiny blue speedos.

Sharon Stone is iconic in Basic Instinct, but I think she looked spectacular in Intersection.

Some of you have totally hijacked the thread with nonsensical comments and posts about nothing.

Emilio Estevez in "The Breakfast Club"

Here’s his dad, Martin Sheen, in Badlands.

Dan Stevens in The Guest

Josh Hutcherson in that Pablo Escobar movie.

It was around Season 6 of ER that Noah Wyle went from being boyishly cute to more classically handsome.

Unfortunately he hit a wall a few years later.

Hunter Parrish in the final seasons of Weeds.

Hugh Jackman - Swordfish. I can’t tell you the number of times I busted a nut watching this scene!

R352 - I agree. Jennifer was so stunning, she was a slim woman with curves. She lost too much weight and I do not think it looks good.

R457 Hugh was very pretty back then.

But I don't believe he or the character he as impersonating was erect in that 30 second scene.

Viggo Mortensen in The Reflecting Skin. He even had a nude scene.

Bud Spencer... before he was in movies

Bud Spencer... before he was in movies

Then stop cheating, r462.

Farrah Fawcett Charlie’s Angels.

Farrah looked the best when she sported the iconic Farrah ‘do. This includes her role in Logan’s Run. When she made guest appearances in Seasons 3/4 of Charlie’s Angels she no longer sported the look and that special sparkle she had was missing.

Farrah did probably look her best with the iconic feathered and flipped hair. But she was still gorgeous without it. She had beautiful hair. All of it hers. She was a lot more open and bright than expected in this interview. That CREEP ruined her life. Ryan. O'N.

r335, I wanted to fuck them BOTH during that era.

I agree I hated Lee Majors, too It was Lee that forced Farrah to quit Charlie’s Angels. Lee wanted a stay at home wife. What a fucking cunt.

Tom Hanks in Big.

Jodie in "Silence of the Lambs". I thought the dark hair looked great on her.

I thought Jodie looked really pretty in Maverick

Jody looks best with light brown hair. Dark brown and blonde both wash her out a bit.

I agree with R470. Silence of The Lambs is the best that Jodie's ever looked on screen. Partially because of the darker hair color with her cornflower blue eyes, but also the wardrobe and her naturalness. She's quite vulnerable in the role and the whole FBI female agent in training has never been done better. She looks like a real person. Hell of a story to work with. And Costar.

Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 Weeks.

Jodie’s bob looks adorable

Christopher Walken and Robert DiNero in the Deer Hunter

Cybill Shepherd in “Yellow Rose of Texas”.

Chevy Chase Vacation.

Jeff Bridges and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys.

Zhang Ziyi and Takeshi Kaneshiro in House of Flying Daggers

Jeff Bridges in Against All Odds. Denzel, in Out of Time....or maybe Devil In A Blue Dress?

Denzel in Out of Time. Nice bod.

Angie Jolie - Gia - HBO 1998

Both her and Brad looked fucken hot in Mr & Mrs Smith

Eva Mendes in Out of Time

How you doin?

Ryan Gosling - The Place Beyond the Pines

Eric Roberts and Mickey Rourke in "The Pope of Greenwich Village."

I think Ryan looked amazing in Crazy, Stupid Love. That's when I realised he was h-o-t.

I'd pretty much bang Tom hardy in anything. But I loved his rough look in Mad Max.

Catherine Deneuve in Indochine, age 49

I hate to say it, but Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone.

JGL in Mysterious Skin

Barbara Stanwyck in some western movie in the forties...

Just finished watching Bridesmaids and Jon Hamm has never looked hotter. I would never have given up fuck buddy privileges like Wiig’s character does at the end.

Justin Trudeau in Monte Carlo.

R496, I don't think this Trudeau... R463 yeah yeah but he was nice to look at wasn't he ?

R496, I don't think this Trudeau... R463 yeah yeah but he was nice to look at wasn't he ?

bump

Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor - Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

Katharine Hepburn in WOMAN OF THE YEAR and THE PHILADELPHIA STORY. She never looked as good any other time than she did in those two films.

This will sound crazy but I think Paul Newman looked his most gorgeous once he got well in his 50s (I know conventional wisdom is that he aged beautifully, but I mean I think he literally looked better). Imo he looked his most gorgeous and distinguished in absence of Malice and The Verdict.

Denzel Washington in "Devil in a Blue Dress." I win.

R498 No it's not Trudeau but French beau garcon Pierre Boulanger quite the resemblance though.

David Straithairn - Passion Fish
