You won't regret it Hamiltoes - it's very much a product of it's time, and you can practially smell the cocaine, but Tim Curry makes it.

YADNBU. I used to inflict the Muppet Treasure Island on my DCs waaaay too often just to swoon over TC as Captain Hook Blush

dementedma · 18/07/2015 20:23

Eddie Izzard is well sexy!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 18/07/2015 20:24

Definitely Riffraff too!

But correct and earlier poster, although labyrinth was an 80's film, Rocky Horror was made in the mid seventies

Anthony Head just isn't thin enough to do it for me as Frank - I do have a thing for very slender androgynous men though. Preferably wearing makeup.

Adam Lambert is delicious, and when he's channeling Freddie on stage, even more so.

ethelb · 18/07/2015 20:26

It's his legs. That man has the best legs of any man in history. End of. They are suitably almost non-humanly amazing.

WaggleBee · 18/07/2015 20:28

He has a dirty dirty grin.

YANBU. At all. He rules that film like a high-heel wearing corseted God.

saw Antony Head as Frank live. He was very good Grin Not so much in Pirates of Penzance though.

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 18/07/2015 20:33

Anyone see TC in Times Square - an 80s film i think? Played a radio DJ?

dollydaydream2015 · 18/07/2015 20:34

What about Johnny depp as jack sparrow? He has quite a bit of make up in that and is seriously hot in it!

Bogeyface · 18/07/2015 20:37

I have always had a soft spot for him especially in "Clue", but the photos of him since he had his stroke are just awful, poor man :(

SiobhanSharpe · 18/07/2015 20:38

I saw Tim Curry live in the original Rocky Horror Show at The Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court, late 70s and he was incredible. Really sexy with enormous sexual energy. I wouldnt have said he was especially slender, he was really very masculine and predatory. And a great voic. And i was so near I could almost have touched him. And Julie Covington wasn't bad, either. All in all, a terrific show.

I saw the film version of The Phantom of the Opera in the cinema, and although Gerard Butler doesn't really do anything for me in real life I still remember how taken a back I was the first time he appeared on screen in character as The Phantom. He was just ridiculously attractive.

DioneTheDiabolist · 18/07/2015 20:43

YANBU OP, he crackles sexual energy in Rocky Horror.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 18/07/2015 20:45

stars I sooooo agree with you about Charles Dance in GoT. Utterly sexy in every scene - even while sat on the privy.

WhereYouLeftIt · 18/07/2015 20:46

Men in make-up - yes, you may have a point ....

Sorry - it has to be Christopher Lee for me. He is lovely.

StarsInTheNightSky · 18/07/2015 20:52

whenshewasbad yes! Quite honestly every single scene, but especially when he rode in on his white horse to accept the badge of the hand of the king

Also yy to Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow

Northumberlandlass · 18/07/2015 20:52

Yes.
Saw Oliver Thornton last year as Frank & he was pretty damn fantastic! Have a look on Youtube for him...when he turned & strutted up the stage in his silk knickers, his bottom wobbled fantastically!!

takes a moment

MythicalKings · 18/07/2015 20:56

Way too much fanning self on this thread.

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 18/07/2015 20:59

Oh fuck it. I was hoping to not need an early night, but I need a lie down now!

:o

Redglitter · 18/07/2015 21:00

Does absolutely nothing for me. Don't find men in make up at all sexy

StarsInTheNightSky · 18/07/2015 21:03

At the risk of getting pelted of the thread by rotten tomatoes, I have had a bit of a thing for Vladimir Putin for longer than I would care to admit to Blush
