EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment Wooing Faye Dunaway into a romance — and a life of crime — from outside her bedroom window in 1967's Bonnie and Clyde
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment The bedroom scene in Bonnie and Clyde has stayed with me since the moment I saw it. I think that was the first time I was exposed to an honest love scene in the movies. It was raw and emotional and showed the darker side of seduction and sexual connection.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment As the sexy bad-boy Michel, practicing his Bogart moves on Patricia (Jean Seberg) in 1960's Breathless
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment AH-greed. I saw Breathless in my Intro to Film class sophomore year and I'd probably have to say that my love for Jean-Luc Godard films and French New Wave cinema started with that initial attraction I felt toward Jean-Paul Belmondo. I mean, who doesn't love a guy who's got a man-crush on Bogey?
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment Making the T-shirt an iconic garment by sporting a snugly fitting one throughout 1951's A Streetcar Named Desire
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment Yes, it's hard not to go with the sweaty T-shirt moments of Streetcar but in my personal opinion Marlon Brando's hottest stuff was in Guys and Dolls. I love the relationship between Brando's bad boy gambler and Jean Simmons's high-minded mission worker. The whole 'opposites attract' cliche can get pretty tired in movies but here it is absolutely wonderful to watch.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment Playing the prettiest cowboy ever opposite John Wayne in 1948's Red River — and being seduced by Joanne Dru
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment I just watched Hitchcock's I Confess and I gotta say I felt guilty about how much I was lusting after his character the whole time. He plays a Catholic priest in the film, by the way.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment A few minutes into Dr. No (1962): A tuxedoed gentleman is playing a high-stakes game of baccarat and compliments a ravishing brunette:
"I admire your courage, Miss...?"
"Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr...?"
"Bond. James Bond."
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment Anyone who has seen Hitchcock's Marnie knows that the film is extremely provocative and at times very difficult to watch. And while there's no denying the disturbing nature of the rape scene, there's also no denying how unbelievably powerful Sean Connery's presence is in the scene. Part of you feels pity for Marnie while the other part cannot help but fall under Connery's spell.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment As a teen misfit who tries to protect those weaker than him in 1955's Rebel Without a Cause.
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment Agreed. It doesn't get much better than Rebel. I particularly love how he deals with all the bullies who have it out for him. "I'm cute too."
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment As cowpoke Rowdy Yates on Rawhide (1959-66), merely opening his eyes wide and flashing his grin — two habits Sergio Leone apparently rid him of for A Fistful of Dollars and the rest of Eastwood's career.
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment When I think about Clint Eastwood and why I have so much love and adoration for him, I always come back to the cool swagger and icy stare of the character he made famous in Sergio Leone's "The Man with No Name" trilogy. He's funny, sexy, and as confident as any man has ever been in the history of the world.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment For uttering one of Hollywood's most famous lines: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." (Gone with the Wind, 1939)
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment For me it's It Happened One Night and getting ready for bed in the infamous "Walls of Jericho" scene. I love the banter between Gable and Claudette Colbert but it's the subtle moments in between that really get me. I don't think sexual tension has ever been brought to the screen so beautifully.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment He's impossibly elegant and full of rakish charm playing the larcenous John Robie of Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief (1955)
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment The train scene from North by Northwest. I think it epitomizes exactly what made Cary Grant such a classic Hollywood leading man. To this day, no male movie star has ever been able to deliver the brand of class and sophistication that for Cary Grant came as easy as putting on a grey suit.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment Whipping off his cape at the start of the fantasy tango to "La Cumparsita" in 1945's Anchors Aweigh. A man looks his best when he's at his best.)
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment I don't know but for me being in love is like dancing around in the rain like a big sap. Of course no one illustrated that better than Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain. You just don't see grown men in real life being so unabashedly silly and romantic and that's why Gene Kelly is such a beloved part of Hollywood history.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment Standing outside Joanne Woodward's bedroom wearing nothing but boxers and that grin in 1958's The Long, Hot Summer
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment Well if you're a sucker for pool sharks like me then there's absolutely nothing hotter than Paul Newman in The Hustler. And it's not just his mad pool skills that get me. All of those intimate and ridiculously sexy scenes he shares with Piper Laurie are almost too painful to watch.
EW's Ultimate Hottie Moment The two seconds that the outlaw towers over ghost-town tomboy Anne Baxter in 1948's Yellow Sky, before stealing the hottest kiss in the Western genre
Z's Ultimate Hottie Moment Young Gregory Peck, old Gregory Peck, it's all very, very good. I think though my defining moment with him was when I first saw Spellbound. I know, I'm going with yet another Hitchcock film but his beauty in this movie is undeniable. I'll never forget both my mom and me gasping as soon as he came on the screen.
So that about does 'er! I know it may seem strange to lust after and worship men who are either old and crotchety or have been dead for years, but trust me. Rent any one of these movies and you'll understand.
