OK, I'm right there as far as Christian Bale being number one. Ever since "American Psycho," I've pretty much been smitten. He never gives a bad performance and, most recently, he was terrific opposite Russell Crowe in "3:10 to Yuma." And, of course, he's the best Batman of all even though I'll always have a special place in my heart for Val Kilmer at the Caped Crusader.
But this list, which is from a reader poll, is not diverse at all. Where is Denzel Washington? Jamie Foxx? These are two of the sexiest men in movies and certainly should rate above TOM SELLECK? C'mon! Even Rob Lowe, cute as he is, wouldn't make the cut. Those who did were such obvious choices as Brad Pitt, James Dean, Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, Cary Grant, George Clooney, Sean Connery, Richard Gere and Leonardo DiCaprio. Also included is Josh Holloway who is a surprise but when you think about it, is damned sexy.
Here are my faves from the list which you can find in its entirety on EW.com:

Eric Bana!

Paul Newman!

Marlon Brando!

Gerard Buitler!
