Ronald Coleman, I think it was a gay male who made the list
MY list would include these two to start with
To steal from "Joan of Arc" I wanna man who smells like a man.

With his role as Achilles - 'the handsomest man in Greece' - Brad Pitt has confirmed his position as one of the handsomest men ever to grace the silver screen.
Not only has his starring role in Troy transported Pitt into the superleague of Hollywood earners, but this epic showcasing of his legendary looks has driven him up to an impressive 5th position on the list of the most handsome men in Hollywood history.
Here is the list in full. Under each star is the film in which he was at his most handsome...
THE TOP TEN MOST HANDSOME MEN IN SCREEN HISTORY
1. Anthony Perkins
Best in: Fear Strikes Out (1956)
Almost too handsome to look at, Perkins is how the devil would look if he took human form. Suave beyond measure, Perkins could carry off knitwear better than anyone.
2. Gergory Peck
Best in: Roman Holiday (1953)
Quite extraordinarily good looking: tall and noble as a mighty oak, dark as night but strangely comforting. As god-like as Perkins is devilish.
3. Pierce Brosnan
Best in: The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
The half-smiles, the naughty eyes: he looks like he’s been chiselled out of sex. Brosan is as handsome as David Niven should have been.
4. Cary Grant
Best in: The Philadelphia Story (1940)
With Grant, it’s all about poise. So at ease with his extraordinary looks that he can even make you forget how handsome he is (most famously in Bringing Up Baby).
5. Brad Pitt
Best in: Troy (2004)
Perfect torso, perfect face and perfect hair meet in an explosion of beauty. No longer can anyone argue that his arms are too thin for him to be regarded as truly handsome.
6. Richard Barthelmess
Best in: The Patent Leather Kid (1927)
Broody, but clean cut. His eyes were infinite pools of longing. No one before or since could take a zoom like Barthelmess.
7. Johnny Depp
Best in: The Ninth Gate (1999)
The best hair since Peck. Mercilessly well-defined, Depp’s features are so sharp they could cut the screen.
8. Paul Newman
Best in: Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Adonis on the chain gang. Does with filthy, torn denim what Brosnan can do with a $10,000 suit.
9. Ronald Colman
Best in: Raffles (1930)
The gentleman hero with the best moustache in Hollywood and a devastating, come-to-bed chin. The Mills & Boon anti-hero par excellence.
10. Roger Moore
Best in: Live and Let Die (1973)
Steely but debonair. A truly magnificent forehead.
Tom Selleck?
Hey, its Billy Idol!!
And he's dressed in nice clothes too!
MY list would include these two to start with
To steal from "Joan of Arc" I wanna man who smells like a man.
I'm working on my list (just pulling from the Freeperette Hunks page :) )
I did give Cary Grant a "yes." I just never did like Gregory Peck much, even before I knew he was a raving moonbat liberal.
Brad Pitt?!? Where's Sean Connery? Harrison Ford? Tom Cruise? ;)
Look how he's sucking in his cheeks! That is SO mincy!
Yeah, I know JD needs a bath (hence is nick "Uncle Stinky")
HOWEVER, there have been moments when I've watched him on the screen and thought "Hey, E! You don't have a sense of smell....so what's the problem!?!" ;)
Even now, Mr. Connery is more attractive.
Other handsome screen idols:
Sean Connery
Lawrence Olivier
Erroll Flynn
Richard Burton
Robert Redford
Runner-up: Ryan O'Neal
LOL.
Sean, yes...
HF, mebby,
TC...No way! Even I'M taller than him.
And as for alpha male,
I think he's more like a delta or lower.
I agree. The second and third pictures are pretty good ... too young, though, check them out again in ten years.
For starters (like, OK, so he can start me anytime).
Cruise is a dweeb, but he was a very good looking dweeb 15 years ago. Connery is still The Man. ;)
OK - Cary Grant + Pierce Brosnan Oh Yeah!
I must add William Peterson (for his amazingly kissable lips!)
I just don't see it. To me he'll always be less a man because of his big ego, tied no doubt to his "reputation". Ben Affleck was a People "sexiest man" too until jLo. Pride cometh before a fall.
I have a thing for Heath Ledger- A Knights Tale
