OK, I've got one. I was watching TV last week and there was a special about
the sexiest men in film.
So, ladies, who do you think would be the best tango dancer? Patrick
Swayze's character in "Dirty Dancing"? Mel Gibson's in "Lethal Weapon"?
William Hurt's in "Body Heat"? Richard Gere in "An Officer & a Gentleman"?
How about Pierce Brosnan or Steve McQueen in "The Thomas Crown Affair"? Jim
Carry in "The Mask", John Travolta in "Saturday Night Live", Harvey Keitel
in "Then Piano", Sean Connery as James Bond, Hugh Grant as Hugh Grant...just
some suggestions.

First time I have something to add...
Hands down, it's Johnny Depp-- sexiest man alive, bar none!
Cute story about John Travolta, though. While filming here in
Baltimore about a year ago, he played squash on Thursday nights on a
court adjacent to the room we use for our Thursday night practica. He
strolled over to watch one night and murmured about tango being so
beautiful, so I asked him if he'd like to try. He declined, smiling,
and said he doesn't feel comfortable doing anything unless he's very
well trained. His sexiness quotient dropped a bit with that remark--
too concerned with others' perceptions... :)

Following lyrics are to a fun singalong...
HE SCOTSMAN'S KILT
A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree

He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won
first prize"

Thank you, Jim, for leaving us alone, and giving the ladies on this list
freedom to get as trivial, silly and wildly off topic, as their fancy takes
them.
With Harvey Keitel in "The piano" I'd be scared he'd step on my feet. With
John Travolta (in "Saturday night fever") I'd be be afraid to pass out in a
cloud of men's cologne with my face sunk in his satin lapels and end up on
the back seat of a car full of young Latinos. Hugh Grant might be nice, but
I think, his polite British accent would make me giggle and remind me of
Sally Potter dancing with that tall Brit in BA in "Tango lesson". Gere
("Pretty woman"), Brosnan (in "Mrs. Doubt"? = ) ) and Connery ("The name of
the rose", to bring him a little more up to date) would be fine with me too.
My taste is more like:
Timothy Dalton as James Bond in "Living daylights"
Rhett Butler in "Gone with the wind"
Daniel Day-Lewis in "The unbearable lightness of being"
Johnny Depp as a gypsy in "Chocolat". Good God, yes, as "Don Juan" ( with
black hair this time) he is even sexier.
Antonio Banderas as El Mariachi in "Once upon a time in Mexico" (beats
Johnny in this movie, sexinesswise.) Or as "Zorro"?
Rupert Everett in "An ideal husband" (by Oscar Wilde). ...He's gay in real
life, though.
uuhh...
Rowan Atkinson in "Johnny English" in his dream about being James Bond ?
(Nice try, keep going ! Wish more men could pull this off...)

I was an extra (geologist) in the movie "A Civil Action" and we were
shooting a fairly crowded outdoor scene for two days with John Travolta
and Robert Duvall. Mr. Travolta would spend his off-time alone,
presumably staying in character. Mr. Duvall was right in the middle of
the group and was easily approachable. I was drawn to a young woman
that seemed to be with him but decided to stay focused on the film.
Of course, I learned later the young woman was his
tango partner [sigh...] (and girlfriend? It was December 1997. I couldn't
be sure when I saw his girlfriend in Assassination Tango whether she
was the same person).

Lois,
I think the sexist man is Johnny D in Pirates of the Caribbean. Did you
forget him on your list? I am not much of a movie goer, so I don't know
many of the other men you listed. But I think JD is the man to watch...
Even though I am a totally straight guy - I love his look.
I am fond of his eyeliner most of all. In case you are interested, see if
you can find which men at Tango may also wear eyeliner from time to time.
It looks dangerous like a mask, but discrete like a wink. I find many women
notice the difference, but they may not know exactly what is my secret.
So I am sharing this 'secret' to other guys around the world - get a high
quality eye pencil and ask your daughter for help on how to use it.
Hair coloring is another issue - it can be a real problem if done poorly.
But I think men could learn alot from women in regard to makeup - a little
paint and polish looks good on them too!

What appeals to other men, does not necessarily (or usually !) appeal to
women. I think, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was by far Johnny Depp's worst
movie. The story is poor, the whole production is silly and overdone, and
seeing him in this role with teeth missing, a stagger in his walk from
slight brain damage received while sleeping drunk on a lonely island's hot
beach, slurred speech and runny eyeliner- no thanks. Please, men, do not
heed this advice. I think, male make up is a real turn off. I want a man,
not a man that looks like a woman. The only time I thought different hair
colouring brought some improvement, was when a Japanese ex-politician went
from his conservative shoe-polish black hair combed in an "all-back" style
with hair lotion and dark suits to a hair cut with bangs in a red brown
colour, combined with a red shirt and leather belt and tight fitting slacks,
after he had spent a year learning tango, lost 20 pounds and decided to
become a womanizer.
If there is one thing I hate on a man, it is yellow hair with mousse in it.
The only male hair dye I like is red henna glints on a black haired gypsy.
We do not have many of those in tango...
To pull of the kajal look successfully, you would have to change your entire
appearance to something hippie- like, for which it is probably too late if
you already have a daughter who can help you with that. Unless you are
Indian or Maroccan.

two cents on male grooming (duh..sorry to be such a spoil sport, just trying
to save you before it's too late.)

How would this character dance? I imagine a combination of Chicho's
nuevo-brat style without any regard to the line of dance and a parody of
Rudolph Valentino. Of course, his heart would be thumping wildly! In the
same vein with a little more slapstick, how about Roger Rabbit in Who
Framed Roger Rabbit?

None of the above, IF.....they can't get the hang of
paying attention to their partner properly. (If they
can, I'd go for Steve McQueen. Yes, that chess scene
with Faye Dunaway is one hell of a tango!!!) I would
guess they'd be too full of themselves and, as we all
know, that just doesn't work in tango. On the other
hand, I dance with several guys who have absolutely no
claim to fame, who are divine to dance with because
they make me feel like the Queen of the Night. That's
where it's at, isn't it? :)))

Ahem. Now that the ladies have had their say
and the dust has settled, I hope nobody will mind if
I venture an opinion as to who would look the coolest
to us guys hanging out at the bar sipping tintos as
we eye la pista.

Without specifying any movie in particular,
Steve McQueen would rule over all the other
actors-cum-tangueros like a big, slobbering dog,
straddling them like the Colossus of Rhodes.
Any silly, shallow dilettante who dared to disturb
the reverie of the dance with idle chit-chat while
being lucky enough to dance with him would not soon
find herself that lucky again. And of course, he'd
be so polite the whole time, she'd have no idea why
he never asked again.
