    I can't remember where i read the comment that "...women would rather have a dead Steve McQueen than a live Ben Affleck...", but that picture reminded me of how true it is (for me at least, and Steve died before I was born).

    Bowie was quite stunning in his younger days. Elvis of course was always a beauty.

    diva/reese: I had a similar reaction. Just scrolling through the photos, I thought... Dang, I want to dress like Steve McQueen. Or Tom Ford, but I have a feeling I could probably afford a Steve McQueen wardrobe easier.

    Steve in The Thomas Crowne Affair is pure sex on a stick. He even made Faye Dunaway look good.

    My mom took me to see Bryan Ferry a few years back, anf it was very uncomfortable. She was MOANING the whole show through. Making comments about how HOT and DELICIOUS he was. How SEXY his LEGS were.

    I still cringe a bit when I think about it, but I do love Bryan Ferry'S MUSIC.

    Bob Dylan's appearance on the list was jarring. I don't think the hair was on purpose. Maybe they liked his outfit?

    he was a great artist but what was stylish about Basquiate?
    baggy jeans n trainers?

    I do agree..no cool like old school. Steve, Elvis & Bowie..they don't make em like that anymore. I had a friend who was obsessed with the young Elvis & swore he was mulatto. Seeing this phot, she may have had a point. What a gorgeous, gorgeous young man. And Bowie! Is Iman the luckiest woman on earth or what? The list would be complete for me if Bob Marley was on it too.

    Always been a big fan of Bowie--but he just looks like such a little kid in that pic!

    I had a friend in high school who's father had an uncanny resemblence to Elvis--he was weird as all hell, though, so now I don't find Elvis sexy at all!! lol

    And when was a dirty tshirt, jeans, a leather jacket and unwashed, unkept hair ever 'stylish'? Dylan may be a lot of things, but an attractive, well put together man he ain't.

    Why isn't Johnny Depp listed? I hope he is, because honestly I love the clothes he wears. Now we need a best undressed male list. Please?

    Where has Marcello Mastroianni been all of my life?!?

    Bob Dylan doesn't fit, in my opinion.

    I would add Lenny Kravitz.

    George Best looks like a young Bill Murray.
    And everytime I look at Elvis I see a freak who went after a 14 year old (I know, her parents are just as much to blame), refused to have sex with her after she gave birth because he couldn't sleep with a "mother", took pills to sleep and pills to stay up, and died in a toilet.

    I wish to God I didn't think that.

    This is a nice post! I'm looking forward to more. Thanks ENT!

    I still can't believe Jerry Hall left Bryan Ferry. I don't think I could do that. Ever.

    Dylan fits, just not in a conventional way. It's not always solely about the looks. You have to admit he had his own style. He was very unique in his time. Probably still unique now??
