eed_thelast_haw: I prefer Colin Firth as Mr Darcy, but that is just my preference. I think he looked more mature and therefore waaaaay more awkward at the balls 😅

#3 Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. She lit up every scene she was in.

eed_thelast_haw: I never realized I even have a type until Aragorn on screen. Tall dark and gloomy. Yup. Thanks, Viggo, for frustrting ne3 during my teenage years. It’s why I like Cavill’s Geralt so much. A softie layered up in gloom, doom and waaaaay too much horse poop.

#5 Leo in his Titanic / Romeo + Juliet era
