Martin Scorsese, the director of some of the most iconic films like Taxi Driver and The Departed, once said: “Movies touch our hearts, awaken our vision, and change the way we see things” – and he’s totally right! It’s just that, sometimes, instead of the movies as a whole, what touches our hearts the most is how beautiful Cillian Murphy looked in that one scene in Peaky Blinders.

Viggo Mortensen- Aragorn
I never realized I even have a type until Aragorn on screen. Tall dark and gloomy. Yup. Thanks, Viggo, for frustrting ne3 during my teenage years. It's why I like Cavill's Geralt so much. A softie layered up in gloom, doom and waaaaay too much horse poop.
You could have had every cast member of the mummy and I would have said yes.
I was born in 1982 and was a teenager in the 90s. I had such a huge crush on Brendan Fraser. I loved him in Encino Man, but fell in love with him in Mrs. Winterbourne.
Catherine Zeta-Jones in The Mask of Zorro.
Yes. So, so beautiful. She still is! But in these movie she just took your breath away.
Sandra Bullock on Miss Congeniality 😌
I mean … Vivien Leigh has to be included; you could use any shot of her from this film as an example
Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. She lit up every scene she was in.
Kate Winslet in Titanic or any movie for that matter. Woman is eternally beautiful. A lot of it has to do with how confidently she owns her body.
The style is very dated now, but I always thought Marisa Tomei served in My Cousin Vinny.
Winona Ryder- Dracula
I should say Gary Oldman's Dracula is something else...... sure Wynona is drop dead gorgeous, but Gary Oldman... damn.
Paul Newman in just about everything. Robert Redford in too many things to mention. And Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's
Before he was Tom Wambsgans abusing cousin Greg for amusement, he was Mr Darcy. I loved him, most ardently.
I prefer Colin Firth as Mr Darcy, but that is just my preference. I think he looked more mature and therefore waaaaay more awkward at the balls 😅
Jaime Lannister This is a Disney prince and no one can tell me otherwise
Leo in his Titanic / Romeo + Juliet era
I could never get into him. He always looked like a little kid to me.
Jude Law in The Holiday please look at me like this I’m begging you
Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic
Oh my god, I LOVED that movie D: I was 16 when it came out and thus in the PRIME of my raging-hormones teenaged-girl phase XD I LOVED love stories. ....okay okay I'm 41 and I still do >_>;
Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther
There's a popular story on Tumblr about a girl who snapped her metal braces after she saw Killmonger shirtless and clenched her teeth too hard. MBJ himself paid for new ones.
James Mcavoy in The Atonement
His eyes and the way they filled with tears will haunt me for ever. He looks so soft, vulnerable, baby faced and you just want him to be happy. Ugh. I swore never to watch this movie again, now i am getting the urge to.
speaking of the talented mr ripley... alain delon in plein soleil !
My mum absolutely adores him, and imho he's one of the most handsome men ever 💜
Cameron Diaz in The Mask.
Diane Kruger in Troy
Penelope Cruz in Vicki Cristina Barcelona - this is the only gif of her I could find and it doesn’t do her justice
joan harris mad men
Michelle in Scarface
I would chose "Dangerous Liaisons" myself. That was really her best work, IMO, and she was stunningly beautiful.
questioning if I was actually gay. She’s gorgeous in anything but her performance in that film did something to me
Lee Pace in The Fall
I knew I’d seen him in something but couldn’t remember what. Yes, Pushing Up Daisies. A series which should have been continued.
Load More Replies... Ok but also Thranduil… can we mention that please… definition of a beautiful man
I think Lee has never looked better than he does now (and we do see *a lot* of him in Foundation TV series). Very underrated as an actor, they should cast him in more serious stuff, he was great an Halt and Catch Fire and now in Foundation, but then again, he was great in lighter roles too (Pushing Daisies 🌼). foundation...742da1.jpg 
Literally only discovered this guy's existence whilst watching Foundation on Apple TV. Now I have to watch everything he's ever been in!
He still looked like a baby here. I had a friend who looked just like him, he died very very young, and after he died i watched this movie. I couldn't finish it for years. I can now, but still get chocked up.
First fell in love with him in the Twilight franchise, and then Foundation. Utterly delicious LOL
Lee Pace is always awesome. Loving him in Foundation but can't equate him to the guy in PuD, good actor.
Megan Fox Jennifer Check
Jim Caviezel as Edmond in The count of monte cristo is mine. He was absolutely made for the role

My teen crush. I wallpapered EVERYTHING with his drag

Yes! I love John Cusack (and he's a fantastic actor too, lol.) I thought John Cusack was "quite cute" in The Journey of Natty Gann (1985) and Stand By Me (1986), though I was single-digit age when I first watched those movies, so it was nothing more than "hee hee that boy is cute!" When I watched Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), I was 15 and John Cusack had my entire heart XD

Load More Replies... When I was a teenage girl in the 90s, there was a TV show called "La Femme Nikita". I had the biggest crush on the actor who played Michael, Roy Dupuis. He had a way of breathily whispering some of his lines and OH MAN. I'm 41 now and I STILL remember and it STILL gives me shivers XD
90s were wild, I see your Roy Dupuis and raise Jared Leto in My so called life 😁

In Jojo Rabbit!! No one is more beautiful then her in that movie.

Helena Bonham Carter as Marla Singer or Bellatrix Lestrange though. Also. Gwendoline Christie, she was great in GOT, but seeing her glammed up in Wednesday as the principal.. dayummm
Giving my shout-out to Alan Rickman in ... well, everything, but he was so *fun* to watch in the Kevin Costner "Robin Hood" that I mentally imagine him that way. RIP, Mr. Rickman, you were a joy to behold. (Oh, and Colonel Brandon in Sense & Sensibility.)

My dad would say Claire Danes in...well everything! I would say Summer Glau in Firefly, actually also Jewel Staite and Morena Baccarin as well!
Your dad has excellent taste. She’s such a beauty.

Too smarmy and he flicks cigarette ash on people's head?

Am I the only one who hoped to see Saoirse Ronan and her unreal blue eyes? Just me? Okay.
Rebecca De Mornay in ‘The hand that rocks the cradle”, 12 year old me was smitten.
I can’t remember if I fell in love with him in ‘I heart huckabees’ or if I watched that movie because I was in love with him, lol. But gosh, yes, the mustache in Darjeeling Limited!

Adam Driver in anything, young immature roommate, fantasy emperor , Catholic priest in Japan , introvert small town bus driver, Jewish police investigator, hillbilly bartender or posh designer ... whatever - he can play anything.
Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitane. Tim Curry as Frankenfurter. Peter O'Toole as Henry II and T.E. Lawrence.
Jensen Ackles in Supernatural!!!!! God, that man is just perfection
It would be really nice if people would use capital letters and punctuation. Also, please don't assume that everyone knows the actor and movie you are referencing.
Mathew McConnahey in MUD the way he looked at his ex girlfriend from across the hotel parking lot.
Bruce Willis in Diehard, Colin Firth in A Single Man and The Kingsman, Russell Crowe in Gladiator
Jonathan Crombie (aka: Gilbert Blythe) in the 1985 Anne of Green Gables.
I was astonished at how accurate this list was. I wouldn't think that people would remember far back enough to include some of these. A little surprised that Mel Gibson and Meg Ryan didn't make it.
Smth about Matthew Lillard in SLC Punk! ( I haven't watched the movie yet, only saw pictures) makes me swoon... I also might just have something for punk guys
