La creme de la creme of the lustworthy....

On January 11 callmerizzo had an interesting thing on her LJ which she in turn got from tobyfan. This is a list of the "10 Hottest Hotties" which is turn is based on the VH1 100 Hottest but I don't know what that is.

I like this kind of list. I liked callmerizzo's list a lot - we obviously have similar taste in guys. I think she only listed guys from movies - my list includes movies, stage and television.

My list a baker's dozen, in alphabetical order:

The Hottest Hotties

1. Lewis Collins as Bodie in The Professionals


2. Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean (or as Rouge in Chocolat)


3. Ralph Fiennes as Edmund in King Lear


4. Lawrence Fishburn in Othello¹


5. John Glover as Lionel Luthor in Smallvile


6. Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans


7. John Malkovich in Dangerous Liaisons²


8. Viggo Mortensen³ in Lord of the Rings²


9. Christopher Plummer in The Sound of Music


10. Michael Rosenbaum in Smallville


11. Martin Shaw as Alan Cade in The Chief and as Doyle in The Professionals and as Chauvelin in The Scarlet Pimpernel


12. Peter Wingfield as Methos in Highlander

Special mention: James Marsters as Spike in Buffy and Angel.

Footnotes:
¹ But I haven't liked him in anything since.
² These roles seem similar to me; not that the personalities of the men are alike, but the two roles push the same buttons.
³ The Lord of the Rings is a special case. I almost said David Wenham instead of Viggo Mortensen - even though Aragorn is by far my favourite character and always has been, David Wenham is delicious. But then, I could make a top ten hotties list from that movie alone. Why don't I?

The Hottest Hotties in "The Lord of the Rings"

1. Orlando Bloom as Legolas


2. Billy Boyd as Pippin. I'm not usually a pervy hobbit fancier but Boyd's performance was so good it floored me, and I've always liked Pippin. A special case hobbit.


3. Brad Dourif as Grima Wormtongue. Egad, now I've really exposed myself as a pervert!


4. Brett Mackenzie as Figwit (he even got a line!)


5. Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn


6. Craig Parker as Haldir


7. Karl Urban as Eomer


8. Hugo Weaving as Elrond, Lord of Rivendell


9. David Wenham as Faramir


10. An anonymous hobbit glimpsed in the Birthday party scene that I like the look of.

I could and maybe should do a list of Top Ten Female Hotties. Yeah, why not:

The Hottest Hotties: The Women

1. Morena Baccarin as Inara in Firefly


2. Juliette Binoche in The English Patient


3. Denise Black in The Scarlet Pimpernel and Queer as Folk


4. Barbara Carrera in Embryo¹


5. Anna Friel as Bella in Our Mutual Friend


6. Anne Heche in Seven Days, Seven Nights


7. Sophie Marceau in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Marquise


8. Jewel Staite as Kaylee in Firefly


9. Gina Torres as Zoe in Firefly


10. Nana Visitor as Kira in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine²

Footnotes:
¹ Too bad it was a lousy movie.
² I didn't watch all the seasons, or all the episodes of the seasons I did watch. I was somewhat bored with the show, but I certainly liked Kira. Bashir as well.

Special mention: Ingrid Bergman from Casablanca and Spellbound.

What fun, remembering all these sexy roles and gorgeous people. Thanks for the incentive, callmerizzo!
