vincent cassel.

(black swan, 2010)

cold, sadistic, calculated: on paper, thomas leroy is all kinds of creepy. however, cassel keeps his slinky character from turning adversary by exuding strong sexual overtones while working with killer style and supreme masculine sensuality. i strongly recommend the dress rehearsal scene where he tells nina (natalie portman) to 'open' her mouth. 'open it!'

jason lee.

(chasing amy, 1997)

banky edwards thoroughly fits the requirements of an alterna-babe: a sarcastic, hairy-faced comic book artist with a warped sense of humor and a penchant for playing video games in his underwear. but beneath that gruff exterior (and foul mouth) is a sweet, misguided rebel with a heart of gold. we will have to look past his eagerness to sleep with ben affleck.

jeff goldblum, jim carrey & damon wayans.

(earth girls are easy, 1988)

who knew that jim carrey was such a babe? 

the definition of 'so bad it's good'... earth girls are easy brims with deliberate 80s camp, a bright and shiny concoction that could only have been created by julie brown. mac, wiploc and zeebo may come across as unlikely style hunks, but once the blue, red and yellow fur comes off -- jeff golblum, jim carrey and damon wayans set out on a gaudy and garish romp through the los angeles valley. big hair, big music and angelyne set the pace for this fantastic cult comedy of errors.

tim robbins, robert downey, jr., matthew modine, peter gallagher, chris penn, jack lemmon, fred ward, tom waits & lyle lovett.

 

(short cuts, 1993)

yep. the entire male cast of short cuts. a strange choice, perhaps. taking into account the hazy, los angeles sun and robert altman's signature use of dreamlike color schemes, not to mention the perfect vintage bowling shirt, and just about any guy can look like an oil painting. (i didn't include bruce davison because he mostly wears the same boring suit throughout the entire 3+ hour picture. he is still very much a babe, though).
