Yep. That show is my guilty pleasure. Neil wasn't nearly as cute as Ivan from season two though
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
Cute as hell is like very HOT! like thisonly with a passionate expression!

Ivan is cute but Neil is red hotNeil wasn't nearly as cute as Ivan from season two though
Trevis is great too. Neil is my forever fave

Brad Pitt (always and forever)
Tyson Beckford (wow that man is gorgeous... dumb as a doorknail but so gorgeous)
Jude Law
George Clooney
Wentworth Miller
Joseph Fiennes (I'm with you on this, Niamh!)
Bruce Willis
Cristiano Ronaldo
Denzel Washington (oh he really is an angel in The Preacher's Wife)
Tom Welling (he plays Superman on Smallville... don't watch the show, but do love him)
Robert Downey Jr.

Me too; years ago it was Omar Sharif; of course, I fall in love again if seeing his "Dr.Z" or "Funny Girl"; back then it was also Richard Chamberlain, not only as Dr. Kildare, but then when he did the miniseries "Shogun", topped it off with "The Thornbirds". It was Alan Bates too. I loved him in "Georgy Girl".
Of course, for sometime now my big crush has been Kenneth Branagh; if not just for the reasons you mentioned, MissScarlett, but also because I thought him very appealing and gorgeous throughout his career, especially "Frankenstein", "Dead Again" and "Much Ado About Nothing" and of course, his "Hamlet", AND I adore his accent and voice. I am dying to see his new BBC TV Crime series "Wallander"; even though they make him look beat and depressed in the show; his performance is amazing. Already, he has won awards for it. The man is a genius!
Lately, I have been drooling over Rufus Sewell. I must see all his films eventually. He is usually great at dark brooding dramas, but lately he has done a comedy for the 'BBS Shakespeare Revisited' series; which is totally hilarious and charming, "Taming of the Shrew". You can catch the segments on Youtube. I must watch it again; I laughed and laughed and loved it.
I also love Ewan McGregor (his earlier films mostly); I just saw "Middlemarch" and "Far From the Madding Crowd" and think Colin Firth's younger brother, Jonathan was gorgeous in those. I love Joseph Fiennes, too, Niamh...films such as "Shakespeare in Love" and "Luther"; and I have an audio recording of him playing "Romeo"....very nice voice and adorable looks. I also like Ciaran Hinds and Steven Machintosh. Ciaran's great in the A&E version of "The Mayor of Casterbridge"; Steven Machintosh is soo cute and appealing in "The Land Girls", a film I love. I also love the guy who played in the film "Room with a View"....blond, I can't think of his name now. He was beautiful to look at.
Have I bored you all thoroughly by now? Just an old lady's fantasy ravings....
Edit: oh gosh, I forgot to add Hugh Grant, too. He was adorable in "Sense and Sensibility"; I also found Alan Richman totally appealing in that film.Me too; years ago it was Omar Sharif; of course, I fall in love again if seeing his "Dr.Z" or "Funny Girl"; back then it was also Richard Chamberlain, not only as Dr. Kildare, but then when he did the miniseries "Shogun", topped it off with "The Thornbirds".

Hi Janine. We really do have the same tastes in men. Apart from our adoration of Ken, I love most of those others you've mentioned. Haunted you need to join the Ken group.
Rufus is wonderful in Middlemarch.

a long clip, but just to show those who don't know this actor. What a shame, the poor character starts with such good intentions and ambitions, but.......
If you've seen Rufus in TTOTS Janine, have you seen Damian Lewis in Much Ado About Nothing, part of the same series? It's wonderful, and he is so brilliant in it, funny, and very sexy.

Alan Rickman is a favourite of mine too, particularly in Truly, Madly Deeply, but get the hankies out.

And finally, someone else who loves Steven Mackintosh. He's just stunning in Our Mutual Friend, so touching and vulnerable. Catch that if you haven't already seen it, he's wonderful, but so are the rest of the cast. David Morrissey is in it too, so you can't go wrong. He's just brilliant, intense and compelling.

I love Ciaran Hinds too, TMOC is so sad, and he was just the best ever Wentworth in Persuasion and was great as Rochester. (but my favourite ever Rochester is Toby Stephens). He seems to excel in these period roles doesn't he? Julius Caesar was brilliant too.

Wessexgirl, I watched a lot of clips from Janine and I'm afraid I don't quite belong in the Ken group...he's much too classy for me. I'm more for the rough around the edges type — that is, without getting their hair messed up. Don Johnson fits the bill. Model gorgeous smart ***. And Ewan McGregor, a sweetheart who's not afraid to get dirty. Those are more like my guysHaunted you need to join the Ken group
wessexgirl, I looked at all of you clips (thanks so much!) and now I am going to hunt for some of the films on Amazon. I want to see the miniseries with Steven Machintosh - he's a honey and adorable, isn't he? If you did not see "Land Girls" see it; he is endearing in that film; funny as well. It will make you laugh and cry. I will have to find some clips on Youtube. I also loved him as Diggory Den (the Reddleman),"Return of the Native"; I just re-watched that the other night, just to see cute Steven; Clive Owen is not so bad to look at either. Love his voice. At first, I was not crazy over the guy who played Clym, but then he grew on me with time. I will hunt for a trailer or excerpts. I loved the Alan Rickman film and will look that one up, as well. I would like to buy it. His acting was wonderful and so nuanced. I loved that scene you sent to me with the poetry. Now I am curious.Hi Janine. We really do have the same tastes in men.

Going now to check the Ken social club to see if anyone posted. We might need to start a 'British Actors' club as well, so we can drool over these cute guys, too.
Edit: YIKES! just looked up the Richman film - pricy! I don't think I can afford that one for a long while. Guess I will have to view it on Youtube. I am contemplating buying the Dicken's set that includes the one film with Steven cutie-pie; but then again, I may just spring for the one single film and get others I want instead.

I'm still in love with Omar Sharif and Richard Chamberlain despite the fact that they are in their 70s now. I'll take 'em!
Hugh Grant, oh yeah! Rufus Sewell, even more, oh, yeah!
Ken, YES!!! Any day!
Timothy Dalton, of course!
My husband doesn't care about my fantasies! LOL He says he feels secure. I don't know if he feels secure because he thinks he's so hot or because he thinks I'm not!
Yeah! In total agreement. These film stars never grow old; that is the magic of film and fantasy worlds. I love all these guys, too. I am doting presently on Rufus for some reason. I need to get some more of his films.I'm still in love with Omar Sharif and Richard Chamberlain despite the fact that they are in their 70s now. I'll take 'em!

Hi Janine. I think I may have seen some of Land Girls, but I don't remember seeing it all. I couldn't remember SM being in it, but if it's the one I'm thinking of, Anna Friel was in it too, who stars with him in Our Mutual Friend. They obviously work well together, as you'll see when you watch OMF, it's absolutely stunning, but then all the cast were excellent. The clip with the lovely David Morrissey in the graveyard cuts off too soon, he goes completely barmy, he's so intense. I've never seen him give a bad performance, he's wonderful.
You may have trouble finding a copy of Truly, Madly, Deeply. I have mine on VHS, and thought I might need to get a dvd, but it doesn't look as if it's easily available. I haven't watched it in years, but I always cry when I see it. I don't know if you know the synopsis, but I won't spoil it for you. AR is excellent as usual, but so are the other 2 main characters, Juliet Stevenson and Michael Maloney, who you already know from his films with Ken. He's another favourite of mine, so to have a film with both him and AR in is just perfect.
I felt the same about Ray Stevenson in The Return of the Native, but then I saw him in Rome and he was brilliant,here's a clip where he's a lover rather than a fighter. Wouldn't you just want him on your side in a battle?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxJKa...eature=related
I love that series too, and it needs a re-watching, like all the many dvds I've promised myself to watch over the holidays, but haven't. I don't know what to watch first, and then I waste time deciding and the moments gone. I've been watching an old version of Persuasion from the 70's or 80's but it's not up to much after you've seen the Ciaran Hinds/Amanda Root version. The leads don't appear to have any chemistry or history between them at all. So much was conveyed unspoken in the later version showing what excellent actors they are. I may have to abandon it and give my precious time to another of the brilliant adaptations I've got.
Ooh, how could I have forgotten? James Purefoy in Rome too as Mark Anthony........I really need to watch this series again,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awT2G...eature=related
he's so good, a goodie, a baddie, funny, brave, cool, complex etc. etc.

wessexgirl, you're absolutely right; I didn't realise. She does play in "The Land Girls" as well; but the three woman revolve around Steven Machintosh, who plays Joe. I just love that film. I only *sign* have it on VHS tape, as you have another here mentioned. I do now see LG's advertised on DVD on Amazon, but currently not available; so there is hope.It's a good film and Steven is oh so appealing.
Yes, that intense performance was really something. I don't know that actor at all but will have to keep an eye on him. Can't wait to buy that DVD and watch it. To buy just that one is $10.50 (think). It's in my cart now.
Indeed, that does not look too hopeful. I love Juliet Stevenson; I just bought a series of Ibsen plays and she is featured in "A Doll's House". She is the best Nora I have ever seen, not that I have seen many productions. She was so totally convincing I was mesmerized with her performance - really fine and wonderful. If you have not seen it try to. The whole Ibsen set is incredible and offers so much. The BBC does it again! Yes, know Michael Maloney well by now; he's in so many of Ken's films.You may have trouble finding a copy of Truly, Madly, Deeply.

I actually saw him in a Ken film "Theory of Flight" and he plays a giggilo. He shows a bit more than we would want to see in the film, but actually the scene is quite well done (sort of funny, too); he goes fleeing out of the room carrying his clothes. Ever see it? I didn't even recognise him first time around and then it dawned on me where I had seen him before. I think he would make a good James Bond. He is sort of unapproachable and yet smooth/sexy in TOF.I felt the same about Ray Stevenson in The Return of the Native, but then I saw him in Rome and he was brilliant,here's a clip where he's a lover rather than a fighter.

The part I bolded up is exactly me lately...totally indecisive and wasting time.

No, that older version doesn't sound that good; I would abandon it. How can you beat the other BBC version; it's excellent! You just reminded me that I bought an older film adaptation of "Dorian Gray"; however, I did see this particular movie on TV once and loved it. I think it's still sealed and another DVD I need to break out and watch. Will I ever catch up? I can see what I am going to be doing at the park this summer; watching the portable player and movies movies movies! I won't be a couch potato but a lounge chair potato.
I can't believe it. I was going to mention him tonight. I loved him in "The Mayor of Casterbridge"....ou la la....Ooh, how could I have forgotten? James Purefoy in Rome too as Mark Anthony........I really need to watch this series again,

...and yes, MissS, it's the same miniseries I recommended to you with Ciaran Hinds playing the mayor. You will love that film!
James Purefoy is to die for. I love those Scottish accents. I will check him out in the link you provided to the video. Wow, can't imagine him as Mark Anthony. That should be interesting.

Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
He's not Scottish Janine, (I don't think so anyway), but I know he was as the character in TMOC, but he's absolutely superb as Anthony. If you haven't seen Rome, I urge you to watch it. It's very violent and sexually explicit, but it's wonderful. The acting is excellent, and there is a rich vein of dark humour throughout, a lot of it from Anthony. JP's performance is exquisite. The character is brutal, dissolute, hedonistic, selfish, etc. but he's also loyal to Caesar, (Ciaran Hinds), loved by his men, inspiring loyalty from Pullo, (Ray Stevenson) and funny, making him one of the favourite characters, for me anyway. I suppose it's a gift of a part for any actor, but JP does it brilliantly. Here he is as Beau Brummell, and I just read on Wiki (so it's probably not true!) that he may be making an adaptation of the Flashman novels woohhoooo!!!wessexgirl, you're absolutely right; I didn't realise.
