My Laminated List Is Complete

I came to this conclusion Saturday night when Jeremy and I went to see Wanted, the new Angelina Jolie is a Bad Ass flick. No, she's not on my list (and neither is Morgan Freeman), but good Lord I do love me some James McAvoy. I thought he was just beautiful with a capital RUNAWAYWITHMENOW in Atonement but seeing him muscled up and kicking some tail was enough to make my Southern heart swoon. Even when he was getting the crap beaten out of him he still was yummy.

So here they are, in (mostly) no particular order, my Laminated List. (And for those of you who don't know what that is, go watch the Friends episode, "The One with Frank Jr.", Season 3, Episode 5.)

  1. James McAvoy. See above for my reasons. To view some beautiful Brit beauty, see: Wanted; Atonement; the Last King in Scotland; Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (granted he was a goat boy, but still cute with horns and hooves).
  2. Clive Owen. I do have a thing for scruffy men, and apparently scruffy Brits (see below for another). He is one hunk of manly man, but he still can pull off the sensitive vibe. For more, see: Closer, Children of Men, Derailed, Beyond Borders, Shoot Em Up.
  3. Josh Holloway. Who can resist his washboard abs, his penetrating green eyes, the permascruff. I'd watch LOST even if it wasn't the most awesome show ever just to catch a glimpse of this beach beauty and listen to his witty humor.
  4. Jake Gyllenhaal. He's a package deal: good looks, intelligence, those gorgeous eyes. I've had a thing for him ever since I first saw Donnie Darko six years ago. And he's must be cool in real life, too, because Reese Witherspoon wants him, too. If I'm capable of overlooking the whole booty sex scene in Brokeback Mountain, then this man must be hot. To see more, watch: Rendition, Jarhead, the Good Girl, the Day After Tomorrow, Moonlight Mile.
  5. Hugh Laurie. Oh man, this is one sexy Brit. (Aren't most?) I think the only thing that would make Dr. House even more appealing is if his character actually spoke with a British accent. Sarcastic wit spoken with an accent on top of the ever-sexy "I'm damaged, please save me...even though I don't want your help and will resist at all costs" complex is enough to make me want to slap him and hug him. And those eyes.... Also check out: Stuart Little, Flight of the Phoenix, and House, M.D.

Honorable Mentions:
If any of the above five are unable to fulfill their "duties" as an official member of my Laminated List, the following are more than willing to take over their position.
  1. Ken Watanabe. I was sold on him when I first saw the Last Samurai. His sexiness was cemented with Memoirs of a Geisha. He has that tough but thoughtfulness about him that just makes me weak in the knees.
  2. Matthew Fox. I like him more and more every time I watch LOST. He's got that ruggedness about him that is just intoxicating but he's also sensitive and intelligent. A winning combination.
Here's my list. Who's on yours?

What a delicious post. Yum-O! Mine would have to be: Wentworth Miller, LL Cool J, McDreamy, Jason Taylor, and Tom Selleck (OMG he could be my dad but so sexy!)

Geesus. Look at Sawyer. That boy makes my heart flutter every. single. time I see him. Look at the abs on that sexy mofo.

And for the record, after that picture, I'll never be able to watch House in the same light. I didn't think he was that hot, but that picture is certainly flattering!

JDM - I must agree with Wentworth Miller. Never seen an episode of Prison Break, but I could definitely look at him!

AFRo - Sawyer makes me weak in the knees. Can't wait till January and new LOST. And you know something funny about Hugh Laurie? He was the pasty white guy on the plane to England that Rachel bored to tears in the episode of Friends when she was going to tell Ross she loved him.
