The ten most handsome men from Classic Movies

...according to moi, of course. OK, here's the thing: some stars like Marlon Brando and James Dean are beautiful, obviously, but there's something about them that doesn't appeal to me. Maybe is the "rebel label", I don't know. To me, Robert Mitchum is more handsome because I feel that he attitude is more natural and real, not staged. I also tried to add some lesser known actors, just because they looked drop dead gorgeous in the one film I saw from them. Oh, I had to leave out people like Clark Gable and Laurence Olivier, sorry.

 Well, enjoy:

10. Robert Mitchum. He was just neat.

9. Gregory Peck.  A kind man.

8. John Justin. Looked gorgeous in The Thief of Bagdad

7. Burt Lancaster.  Great acting and physical skills.

6. William Holden. Beautiful man, great actor.

5. Jeffrey Hunter (The Searchers). Just saw him in 1 movie, never forgot him.

4. Cary Grant. A combination of looks and attitude.

3. Errol Flynn. The most beautiful rascal ever.

2. Paul Newman. For those who think he was mostly eyes.

1. Gary Cooper. Could he be more gorgeous?

What do you think? Oh, do you want more beautiful pics? Check Gary Cooper: Mercy or Good Genes.

  1. My list would probably include John Wayne, based on his movies in the 30s and 40s.

  2. Pues pienso que has escogido bien. ¡ Menuda lista de "celebrities"..Y muy bien calificados. Personalmente me quedo con Paul Newman y no solo por sus ojos. Tambien Gregory Peck, Burt Lancaster, Cary Grant, Cooper, Holden...bueno pues eso...¡ qué grandes actores !

    Un besito :-)

  3. An excellent list; I can't find fault with any of your choices. I would have disagreed if you had included Clark Gable; I'm not a big fan. However, if I could suggest an alternate I would include Ray Milland, who is one of my favorite actors (and quite beautiful when he was young).

  4. I just adore your list. Love that you chose a picture of Paul that doesn't emphasize his famous blue eyes (which, of course, are dreamy *sigh*).

  5. Hola, bueno es que lo pones difícil al ser sólo 10.
    Ahí va mi lista:
    Charlton Heston (en Cuando ruge la marabunta está soberbio y no me digas ya en Ben Hur)
    John Wayne (me encanta en La diligencia)
    Gary Cooper (Juan Nadie)
    John Gavin (Imitación a la vida y Tiempo de amar tiempo de morir)
    Sterling Hayden (Johnny Guitar) además mi primer novio se parecía a él.
    Errol Flynn (sus películas de "piratas" hicieron que fuera mi primer amor platónico)
    Paul Newman (en cualquiera de sus películas)
    Marlon Brando (el bruto de Kowalski)
    Gregory Peck (Vacaciones en Roma)
    Humphrey Bogart (no era guapo, pero tenía un atractivo especial)
    Exceptuando al primero de la lista, los demás no tienen que ir necesariamente en ese orden.
    Saludos,

  13. Me gusta la selección. Mis preferidos son Cary Grant, Lawrence Oliver, Gregory peck, Humphrey Bogart, Douglas Fairbanks Jr, Burt Lancaster, Clark Gable.. paro ya.
    Acabo de descubrir tu blog por el premio que le has dado a Abril en París. Me encanta, Veo que lees mucho sobre actores, ¿Qué me recomendarías sobre Cary Grant? Hay varias biografias y no me decido
    Besitos

  14. Isabel,

    Bienvenida!! JAJA, buena selección la tuya, aunque a Humphrey no lo encuentro tan guapo, tenía una fuerza interior (y exterior) que era atraciva sí.
    Hmm, de Cary sólo he leído "Cary Grant: La biografía" escrita por Marc Eliot. La encontré entretenida, pero había muchos pasajes polémicos en que se afirmaban cosas (ej. que Cary Grant vivió en pareja con el diseñador Orry Kelly), pero nunca se mencionaba cuál era la fuente que lo respaldaba o cómo se enteró el autor de aquello.
    Abarcaba toda la vida de Cary, quedaba claro cómo había surgido, había anécdotas divertidas (las citas con Ginger Rogers, creo), se explica cómo se gestaron sus películas, la vida con sus esposas, y ...no me acuerdo más, lo lei hace un año y medio...jajaja. Ah, tiene bonito diseño :)

    Gracias por comentar y seguirme Isabel!

  21. I would have definitely included Tyrone Power is this list who was an absolute babe especially in his youth. I agree with your number 1 choice, Gary Cooper. Beautiful, flawless features, tall and elegant....there is no one in film today that touches him.
