Errol was a handsome devil but he was a bit of a rotter. And Bette was one of the best as an actress but her looks were not quite up to the same standard.

Christopher Reeve over Margot Kidder in Superman (1978)

reply

A very clear example!

reply

I just realized Reeve as Clark Kent wasn't prettier than Kidder.

Have you seen Superman IV?

Why, did you like the red underpants worn on the outside and the cape ? Or was it Clark's glasses that put you off ?

reply

I disagree with almost all of these

reply

Why?
I'm just being objective. Only where I could change my mind is Gone Girl.

reply

Fine..that's your objectivity. I'm just disagreeing.
I also disagree about Gone Girl.

reply

I respect your opinion.
In my opinion leading leadies in these movies aren't really hotties like Kate Beckinsale,Briggite Bardot,Halle Berry etc. That's why I pick these movies.

reply

Fair enough. But many of these women are very pretty nonetheless and some of these guys aren't perfect male specimens either.

I have a right to my opinion!

reply

Yes you are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be absurd
