It's a bit predictable

but I'm a big fan of Audrey Hepburn her style and lively eyes. Paul Newman is another favourite. But down with John Wayne boo.

Women - its got to be Audrey Hepburn

She was the epitomy of beauty. Absolutely perfect. She got better in the 60s too. She's also charming and stylish and brilliant. I want her for my own.

Males for me its Cary Grant. He's so likeable and quick and cool. One of those people it would've been really good to be.

Which is why I really want to see Charade. Both of them are in it.

James Mason is a fantastic villain too.

I also think Jack Lemmon is fantastic. Especially in The Apartment.

I love talking about films.

Haha, Charade was on the BBC the other afternoon.

I really enjoyed it. And even though Cary Grant looks about 75, he's still so amazingly handsome in it.

Yeah I know,

it was on Saturday. I work ALL day Saturdays, and Hepburn/Grant films are only EVER on Saturday daytimes.

Oh well, I'm taking some hot tunes into work next time. Should make up for it.

Oh shit.

I thought it said 'favourite classic ...'

Forget I said all of it apart from Audrey Hepburn.

And put that BEAUTIFUL French one in. I'll remember her name later.

Catherine Deneuve?

Brigitte Bardot?
Naaaaaaah, they don't seem like your type.

I think its Claudia Cardinale

but Google Image isn't doing her any favours.

It must have just been in the film I saw her in. Pink Panther I think.

I say the same thing in every single thread like this...

Gregory Peck:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2860292096/nm0000060

and Gary Cooper:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm208967680/nm0000011

(L)(L)(L)
And also Jimmy Stewart, and Paul Newman, and Cary Grant, and Steve McQueen, and James Dean, and Anthony Perkins...

YES, Marlon Brando in Streetcar!

I definitely think that-walking-into-the-room scene was the first time I actually properly 'fancied' someone!!!

Yes!

He looks unbelievable in the first scene he's in... when he walks on. Wow.

And the shower scene. Oh my.

Audrey is a given

Merle Oberon in "The Scarlet Pimpernel" was simply gorgeous too.
