Rhett Butler (Gone With the Wind)
Yes yes, it was Civil War South, but Rhett was a bad-ass none the less. He hung out at the brothel, drank and swore publicly in front of anyone who could see and was a bootlegger...literally.
And of course...he gave the best one liners of anyone in the movie "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" and "you turn me away every night but not tonight" (just before he takes Scarlett up the staircase).
Morpheus (The Matrix)
The man had no fear what so ever. And his intellectual "higher level" concepts are definitely intriguing. Whether you pick a red pill vs. the blue, you're sure to have quite an experience. Plus, his intense history with Niobe made for a bit of a break from the overall heaviness of the movie.
Cal Hockley (Titanic)
Incase the name doesn't ring a bell, he's the mean fiancee in Titanic. But, he does mean very well, and looks damn hot while doing it.
Will Turner (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Like I even have to explain...
But since you want to know...he just looks great like a pirate. :)
And, it was pretty sweet how he came back at the end of the 3rd movie even though he was stuck on the ship for 10 years at a time.
Winston Shakespeare (How Stella Got Her Groove Back)
Although it was a fake Jamaican accent, everyone who ever watched How Stella Got Her Groove Back was under his spell. We don't blame Stella for getting her groove back with someone so young and tempting. :)
Luis Antonio Vargas (Original Sin)
His character deserves bad-ass status for going on a wild love roller coaster of a relationship for his love of Bonnie. How many of us would knowingly drink rat poison, learn to gamble and gamble badly and wipe out our entire savings for the love of our lives? Plus it never hurts to have an accent!
James Bond...but which one? ;-)
Almost all...with the exception of the dude who only did one (the movie where Bond marries and his wife dies). Sorry guy, but...it wasn't the most convincing bond performance.
Sean Connery only gets better with age but was the first.
Roger Moore brought Bond to a whole new level of sophistication
Timothy Dalton was the more reserved one (and later went on to play Rhett Butler too!)
Pierce Brosnan was very cheeky!
and...
Daniel Craig has an amazing body! If Casino Royale was any indication of what's in store for us Bond-ites...I can't wait for Craig's other Bond films to drop!
Ferris Bueller (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
If high school had been like this for me I would want to go back like so many other people do. Who else could be IN a parade, go to a Cubs game, steal a car and impersonate parental units better than Ferris and his crew?
Johnny Castle (Dirty Dancing)
No one puts Baby in the corner!
Who wouldn't want to learn to mambo, salsa, fox trot or two step with Johnny at a boring campy environment like the one Baby was stuck in?! Johnny was everything her life wasn't...and he was a black leather jacket wearing, fighting and smoking bad-ass.
Pvt. Trip (Glory)
The best scene in the movie is when Pvt. Trip is being punished for something punitive. He takes his punishment without a scream as a lone tear slides down his cheek.
Very ballsy in a movie set during the Civil War in the North as Denzel plays one of the few African Americans who fought in the first black regiment at the time, the 54th Massachusetts. Not only was this picture a bit of history, but we all saw that Denzel was going to be a very big star
Curtis Taylor Jr. (Dream Girls)
He went from Effie to Dina effortlessly. Very gutsy move, betting on one vs. the other, but we have to hand it to him. Curtis had a dream and stuck with it. He had some slimy moments...but he definitely helped to carry the picture just as much as others. :)
Noah Calhoun (The Notebook)
Noah was the slightly brooding but big hearted love that we all want. Will someone please build a house for me and write me every day for a year?!
This quintessential love story only came more alive as Noah and Allie smoldered their emotions from scene to scene.
John (9 1/2 Weeks)
This movie sparked up relationships around the world! We all wanted to be Elizabeth. This guy pushed her farther and farther and she followed wherever he led.
Even in 2007, 9 1/2 weeks is a very spicy and racy movie that's best watched after 9pm with someone you want to experiment with. :)
Verbal Kint (The Usual Suspects)
Who would have thought that gimpy Verbal was actually Kaiser Soeze?! The mastermind who actually wasn't quite so gimpy and killed off all of his crew one by one. Let's just say that I wouldn't want to have Verbal on my team!
