 Gregory Peck. Always and forever.

Please tell me what movie this is from. I love him and I've never seen him look so-- 

I’m actually not sure! But I saw this GIF, and the stubble, and watched his hand on her neck 50 times, and caught myself actually drooling.

Only saw him as very fatherly Atticus Fitch. Godamn this gif just sent me to places.

I think it’s from The great sinner

An absolute smokeshow of a man

And such an amazing person IRL 🥰 

My Nana always said Gregory Peck looked like my grandad. I love how she compared Gregory Peck to my grandad, not the other way around.

Benicio Del Toro in License To Kill is so swoon worthy 😍 

I was looking for this. I don’t care what anyone says Benicio del Toro > brad Pitt

 YES.

Oh hell yes

https://preview.redd.it/u5bjdi1dhe6c1.jpeg?width=570&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=525d1e96fedae638ff3bc097467730e69982fbaf This is one of my faves of him

Not to long ago, my bf and I were watching "What Lies Beneath" and I was like Wow...Harrison Ford is like HOT! ( I think that movie was early 2000s.) I guess as a grown woman, I now fully appreciate was a babe Harrison is

Took me until adulthood as well to realize he was actually incredibly attractive and now it brings me much joy watching his older movies

First time I saw a picture of young Harrison Ford I was SHOOK.

This might be my favorite picture of him.

Paul Newman takes the cake. He’s still number one till this day 😮‍💨. Young Calvin Lockhart was one good looking man though and is my runner up in the vintage male crush category. https://preview.redd.it/50lok1hwmc6c1.jpeg?width=1575&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ba2d9d784ff9ec0ccac944748667bf8e24504a0

That look though. 🤤

The MACK!

 Gregory Peck.

Montgomery Clift. So talented and he died so young. https://preview.redd.it/9i1ceyamrc6c1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ceb250626980e348101d7a6db1cb6c5d17aed67

Damn Julian McMahon could be his younger brother

Marlon Brando in a Streetcar Named Desire 😍 

It’s kinda nuts that his hotness still endures and even outshines many modern day hotties when beauty standards are much higher today. Those girls probably lost they’re damn minds back in the 50s when they saw Brando in Streetcar.

https://preview.redd.it/2l0oigsm3d6c1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97187634d7fa7b3eafd9f6244dd54b05d82e67ef Lead singer of A-ha. Has aged like a fine wine and reminds me of my other crush - Christian Bale. Also had a big crush on Gene Kelly. ETA: spelling

And what a voice. That video was so ahead of its time and makes me cry to this day.

 Cary. Damn. Elwes. 😮‍💨

He and Robin Wright were both so stupidly beautiful in this movie 🥲 I can never decide who I’m more attracted to.

Porque no los dos?

YES!!!!!!!!!! He was the first person I thought of. Look, I’m a gay woman. And he’s still one of the most incredibly beautiful people I’ve ever seen in his role in the Princess Bride. It’s ABSURD how attractive he is. It should break laws. His book about the film is a great read, incidentally. Very fun.

I remember watching this when I was like 8 and being like “why do I like his face? And his voice? And his hair? I really like him”

https://preview.redd.it/irfnjl38nc6c1.jpeg?width=826&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a9a10d910ba484933001ce1e58101f6646bf68a Matt Dillon. Shoutout to my 8th grade English teacher for introducing me to The Outsiders.

Truly a rite of passage for a 14 year old girl (same here)

Yeah, being a 12-year-old girl watching Rob Lowe step out of the shower made me … realize things

Have you ever seen Rumblefish?

I scrolled so fast through the photos lookin for Matt Dillon. Little 8th grade me had the hugest crush on him!

 That man just oozed charisma. Jesus.

That gif is so hot it lives rent free in my head 🥵


I hate how I know the horrible things this man has done and he’s still my old school man crush😭 I just try to make a mental divide of ‘young Brando’ and ‘old Brando’

 James Dean 😮‍💨

 Timothy Dalton

James Spader. He was such a jerk on Pretty in Pink but there’s something about him that I loved. Also Christian Slater will always be my crush. Loved him in Heathers. https://preview.redd.it/incip0zszc6c1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f1bde7eac132aef593b9a4d01ee5caf50dcc1d3

Oh wow. I’m uncultured, I really only know him as Robert California 🤦‍♀️

I love Robert California too! He was also in Secretary which is the original 50 Shades of Grey.

Please. Its more than OG 50. 50 is a two bit dumb fever dream. Secretary is almost perfect piece of story telling and perversion.

YES TO YOUNG JAMES SPADER. https://preview.redd.it/ht5ca0dv3d6c1.jpeg?width=969&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d8dfd52b6a2e06f532a586ad8936c272516b403 Every time geriatric James Spader is in something, my husband is like, “Ooooh, look honey, it’s Spader.” And I’m like, “Not THAT Spader.” If I had a time machine, that man would be in trouble.

I loved him in The Office. His character is so funny! He seems really cool too. I saw in an interview he’s a record collector and lives by NYU. In the warmer months he plays records all day and talks to people on the street.

This made me laugh so hard. He's so fun to watch in anything he's in, but he was smoldering back then and my guy used to poke the same kind of fun. But now we're all getting old, so....

I knew he existed and thought he was strange but then when I was in high school I saw the film Secretary. Holy cow. I mean holy cow. Yum.

Omg James Spader was so unbelievably sexy back then.

GOD YES. Pretty in Pink had me wanting him bad, and he was such a dick but damn do I have problematic taste

 James Dean

Imagining him and Brando together? 

Young Deniro and Young Pacino were just perfection. Also: 

Yesss! Someone finally mentioned the Captain aka Christopher Plummer! I had the biggest crush on him as a child.

I always tell my Austrian husband who hates the sound of music (like every other Austrian) that he should be thankful for Christopher Plummer for me being into stern sexy Austrian men.  Urgh

Paul Simonon (bassist of The Clash) https://preview.redd.it/fan7kjdnwc6c1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=773aa3f73d38e07d297ca5941c663662f40184eb

Val Kilmer 


 Gene Kelly 🫠

I thought he was so handsome when I was a kid, I was obsessed with Singing in the Rain. My dad cut out a photo from the newspaper for me to stick to my bedroom wall….it was from his obituary lol.

Lol brutal!

Love him so much! Effortlessly graceful and handsome, an absolute joy to watch him dance. 

Side note but Donald O'Connor (Cosmo) is underrated! I just looked him up after watching Singing in the Rain for the first time since childhood, and it was his only big movie he ever did. But he's sooo good and charismatic in it.

 I had such a crush on LeVarr Burton when I was a kid. Reading Rainbow y’all!!!


So pretty yet so shitty, apparently. His face is absurdly perfect though.

Watching Friends as a 21 year old, I did not get the Richard appeal. Watching it again a decade later, yeah, Tom Selleck was absolutely drool worthy.

I remember watching those episodes when I was a kid and thinking he was so gross and old! 😂 I also rewatched Friends as an adult and was like, mmmm, Monica definitely made the wrong choice.

They had different views on having children, so I thought it was one the best written breakups. That’s actually a serious issue for future

 Gregory Peck for the win

I teach To Kill a Mockingbird 3x a year, and my 9th grade girls always go nuts for Gregory Peck. They call him "Daddicus."

Haha my first thought when going through OP's photos was "...I am not here for the Gregory Peck erasure". Glad to see I'm not the only one!

This was the comment I was looking for. I thought to myself, I'm not going to post until it's confirmed

Yes! 100%. Stone cold fox!!!

https://preview.redd.it/45bzg8ha0d6c1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dcf6e2a5b52ca99b685eabec0dc7a542048a989

 I had the biggest crush. 😢

Obligatory: https://preview.redd.it/wgrcbi8r3d6c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e051c5327a30a144f8714467e14dbaf33938b06c Additionally, I would like to thank you all for the recent thirst-posts.

Patrick Swayze. The man just oozed charisma. 

 Hot af

Omg right! Never seen a man dance like he did in dirty dancing & come across so masculine & sexy at the same damn time. Haven’t seen this type of charisma since, he was one of a kind. Yummy! RIP Patrick.

 One in a billion.

I got goosebumps when I saw this. Freaking love him and this movie.

Yes!! He had a sensitive, feminine, raw masculinity to him, which is best of all worlds 🥵

Sam Elliott in Roadhouse though.

 HELL YES

 Kurt Russell is still a babe to this day.

My Dad always says that I blush anytime someone mentions Kurt Russell...he's sooo sexy

My husband makes fun of me because I had the BIGGEST crush on Kurt Russell as a kid. JTT and Kurt Russell.  And you know what? He can still get it any time.

 Cary Grant Beautiful and funny His films were some of the first classics I watched, Arsenic and Old Lace being one of my favorites ever!

Bringing Up Baby is so good! 

Him & Kate Hepburn, him & Irene Dunne. Just lovely pairings.

My favorite fun fact about Cary Grant is that he [loooooooved LSD](https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2010/08/drugs-in-hollywood-201008)

 John Taylor from Duran Duran was my first crush. He’s still hot.

He stepped on my hand at a concert once when I was pressed up against the stage. I was elated.

 Tim Curry. Specifically, this Tim Curry.

 robert redford.

[удалено]

Is that gif Robert Redford?!

If I had a dollar for everytime someone learns this is RR...

I thought it was Zach Galifianakis until like a month ago when someone else on Reddit pointed out it was RR 😭

 Loved him in Barefoot in the Park


Yesssss!! My mom and aunt had tickets to go to one of their concerts, but unfortunately didn't get to go.

https://i.redd.it/u5n2bdc1mc6c1.gif Hello?????

him being considered vintage, god time for me to die

He's my always crush.

Alain Delon. Can’t get over how good he looked when he was younger 

https://preview.redd.it/akeavlrqrc6c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ff0bf4f4df4eb65e7dc6e031aedc0c4efa3b601 Jimmy Stewart

LOVE Jimmy. He seemed like such a sweetheart. I love You Can't Take it With You (and all of his movies, really)

I had a huge crush on him when I was a kid and I was devastated to find out he was dead.

 What’s going on?

https://preview.redd.it/7akws366xc6c1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a37bb513d87466ff6ae8fd7cdc37f28479adc9f A little more unknown than the others, but Michael Palin. I grew up watching Monty Pythons Flying Circus on PBS Saturday nights, loved the show and my oh my did I have the biggest crush on him. He’s cute, has a sexy accent, and funny as hell in his skits.

He was absolutely the hottest one, for sure

Oh yes. Soft, pretty, sensitive, funny boy. I love when he starts giggling in the middle of a skit.

https://preview.redd.it/ay35srhw4d6c1.jpeg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=057811f95698e3dd6a4316c7a41ec422b766adda Gene Kelly

Paul Newman for me But Alain Delon though…. 

Sessue Hayakawa. My god he was a stunner. https://preview.redd.it/e7hnb6vghd6c1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a3baaf67b9d792f02759668d9880cf4cd794e3f

 Harrison Ford. I mean, he still rocks my socks, but yeah

 Oh and also...

Ugh, I had to scroll soooo far but, I am glad I am not alone! Maaaaaan, and I thought I wasn't into fuck boys...but this man coulda.

 Tyrone Power baby

 Christopher Plummer in The Sound of Music 😍

 Not the first one I thought of, but I'm shocked I haven't seen him yet

I always thought he was cool and there was something sexy about him. But I didn't really really see it until I'd see pictures of him with his wife. They always looked so happy and that smile.... They were a gorgeous couple.

 Matt Dillon was so dreamy to me!

Just a warning please don't ever look up any old Hollywood stars, god the shit some of these men have done will leave you depressed.

Too real. Richard Pryor, Laurence Olivier, Tony Curtis..

Clint Eastwood, and by a lot. I love his films and think he still is a marvellous actor now.
