I�m so disappointed.

I can�t believe you wasted my time with your nonsense. You clearly didn�t understand a single word I said. I appreciate your feedback, but I don�t think you understood my point. Maybe you should read it again, slowly and carefully, and then get back to me with a more relevant and constructive reply.

Maybe I'm a man that talks and acts like a female. Hope they cast me in that neo-realism film!

Well, these aren't opinions, they're crushes. You do know what a crush is, right? Why would you take beauty and try to opinionize it and force people to take stances on it? Just enjoy it for what it is, like art. How dare you, sir, or ma'am.

These poor people.

Now you're just being silly.

Anyway guys I'm off to bed. I now have to pray to the half-nude picture of Chingmy Yau that hangs above my bed. Hopefully, she clears my dirty thoughts and, above all, clears YOUR dirty thoughts, you sinners.

Maybe she’ll also forgive me for all the times I’ve sinned while watching her movies on DVD.

Who�s really wasting our time here?

Fun thread and I've been thinking about my choices but to be factual I don't have any crushes per say. Now you all might be defining crushes differently than I would, anyway you did pick some lovely actresses!

For me I watch a movie and I can find an actress 'enchanting' and it has nothing to do with her looks but a special quality that her character exhibits in the movie that I'm watching. Now the funny thing is I can then watch other movies with the same actress and she doesn't even stand out.

So these are some actress that in a certain movie stood out as 'endearing' or 'enchanting'.
In no particular order:

Jean Peters in Pickup on South Street

Vivian Leigh in Waterloo Bridge

Audrey Hepburn in just about anything

Gloria Grahame in just about anything

Damm I forgot Vivian Leigh in Waterloo bridge, she would be in my top five for sure 💯 Robert Taylor was great in Waterloo bridge as well but as far as Actress's go Vivian Leigh definitely is to me the most beautiful. Audrey Hepburn was great in Roman holiday too.

Sandra in King of comedy is a part time stalker and fisher king girl is crazy too 😄 Just don't think of a women's asylum as a dating ground Lol

And there's another one, though not from that film. More likely some Carry On... films or various tv roles I saw as a kid.

Nothing wrong with enjoying seeing attractive women on screen. And guess what? Most women liked to be seen as attractive, especially actors.

Couldn't agree more. I did another thread where you give two letters and then I find a movie character with those initials to be your roommate. You should give it a try

First, this one's easy, it was Carrie Fisher in Star Wars. Olivia Newton John in Grease is a close second.

A lot to choose from for my next one. Getting to the age where riding down a bumpy road made me anxious. Diane Lane in Six Pack or Street of Fire, Jacqueline Blisset in Class, Michelle Johnson in Blame it on Rio, first time I watched Rear Window and High Noon was about this time so Grace Kelly is in the mix, Joyce Hyser in Just One of the Guys, Linda Fiorentino in Vision Quest and about 100 others but I'm going to go with the girl with the left hook - Elizabeth Shue in The Karate Kid

After them years it starts getting a little easier. My next crush could be Michelle Pfeifer in Batman Returns or Married to the Mob, Jennifer Connelly in Career Opportunities or Dark City, Salma Hayak in anything but Marissa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny has had a long shelf life so I think she's the one.

After that I start going backwards in time as I start watching movies that were made before I was born. I was blown away with Claudia Cardinale (OUTitW), Janet Leigh (Touch of Evil), Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca) and Marilyn Monroe (Seven Year Itch) but it's Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady

And finally, had I been around in 1946 I'm sure I'd have had a crush on Lana Turner, especially in The Postman Always Rings Twice

Pauline Kael's Hideous Mutant Love CHUD

Three of my own personal favorite '30s/'40s era lovelies (I've been on a classics kick lately, so these ladies are uppermost in my mind, right now):

The young MYRNA LOY:

British dancer and comedienne, JESSIE MATTHEWS:

... and, eternally #1 in my movie-going heart of hearts: the intoxicating ANNA MAY WONG:

Please note that, more than simply admiring these three sirens of the silver screen for their obvious physical charms, I also spent many happy hours, back in the days of my wastrel youth, regularly conversing with all three on such topics as the Unified Field Theory, Planck's Constant, and why it is that pigeons enjoy eating out of your hand, when God only knows when you even last washed that filthy thing, for pity's sake. So there.
