Menu Item: Cute Boys

Over at The Dept. there has been a lot of cute boy talk. Three posts in the last month, two this week. Who, I asked myself, would I put into a post about cute boys? But I'm afraid I've disappointed myself. My list is so typical, so unsurprising. You will most likely say "Of course she thinks he's cute. Everyone does." And yes, everyone does. My list, while full of VERY cute boys, is just lame in lack of originality. But here goes anyway:

Let's start with Johnny Depp. Now I'm talking "Chocolat" Johnny Depp, not "Pirates". Sorry, but I think Captain Jack Sparrow is decidedly un-hot. Looks like he would have a funk...

I can't forget to throw in Colin Firth. And while he is mighty fine in "Pride and Prejudice", I really prefer in modern attire, not baggy Victorian trousers. In "What a Girl Wants" (Yes, I know it's a kid movie, but I've got kids!), he does this fabulous dance in black leather pants. Takes you breath away!
Ewan McGregor is one of my ALL TIME cute boys. Totally on the laminated list. He gets two pictures-- one for sheer sexiness and the other because... well, he's in a kilt in a provocative position! What's now to love about Ewan? He's not afraid of being naked in movies - a lovely, lovely trait. He sings, he dances, he's got a smile to melt you. Hang on, I've got to go watch "Moulin Rouge" next now.My small screen hunk is Timothy Olyphant in "Deadwood". It's a fantastic show, but really, it could be just him strutting up and down the street for an hour and I'd watch it anyway. But in fairness, he's more than just a pretty face, he's got this cool about him that is irresistible.

But the guy in the #1 position for quite some time now has been Antonio Banderas. He is the end all, be all in the cute boy universe. When the kids want to watch a movie, my suggestion is always "Spy Kids". (I think they see through me on this.) "Desperado" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" are always at the top of the DVD pile; they never get dusty. Have you seen that new one where he's a dancing teaching? Killer! And this one is just for Nance... Jim Caviezel. I don't think he would make my list normally, even though he is absolutely yummy in "The Count of Monte Cristo". But if we are talking about being a hot Jesus, he's got to be in the running.



Who would be on your list?
