Movie Characters We'd Love to Date
Filed under: Fandom, Lists, Hold the 'Fone
Here's the thing about life: Real people can disappoint you. Even the love of your life hogs the sheets sometimes, or has annoying friends, or forgets to pick up the dry cleaning on the night of your big company dinner.
Here's the thing about movies: They're full of people who are ... well, let's face it, they're perfect. Heck, even their flaws are endearing. I mean, who wouldn't want to walk through a parking lot with Lloyd Dobler as he points out a bit of glass that's in your way; or sit enthralled in a nightclub as Jessica Rabbit sings you a torch song; or chase down Orcs with the unbearably sexy Aragorn, future king of Middle Earth?
That's what we thought, too. And we, the staffs of Cinematical and Moviefone, had so much fun compiling our celebrity crush gallery a few weeks back that we went one step further and put together a list of our movie character crushes -- or more specifically, the movie characters we'd love to date, the ones we compare our real-life boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives to when it's late at night and we can't sleep for all the snoring. (Han Solo would never snore. I'm sure of it.)
So after browsing through our choices, come back here and let us know: If you could date any movie character, who would it be? (We'll publish some of the best in two weeks, so watch this space for more.)

Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert) in The Girl Next Door. She's so sweet and innocent now but has the sexy look and could teach me many things I'd like to learn.

Brendan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in Brick. He's quiet, smart, obsessively in love, and has a good vocabulary. And he's not afraid to fight anyone.

I would have to say just about any character that Kathyrn Zeta-Jones plays is fine with me.
Also Lucy Liu character from Charlie's Angels.
Rising Star: Brenda Song from "The Suite Life" TV show. I think she's 19 now so that makes it OK.

Jennifer Lopez is more than ok with me. Especially when she was in The Wedding Planner.

I would have to say that I would love to date Mr. Darcy in the new 'Pride and Prejudice' movie. So fine...and can you say rich?
Oh, and as most LOTR fangirls...I need myself a little bit of Elf. Ok...a lot a bit of Elf. Begins with an L and ends with an egolas. :)

Jake from Sixteen Candles. He's sweet, looks good and not afraid to date someone younger than him, plus he dumps the gorgeous girlfriend.

i hate to say it, but.....Sean Connery....then, now and forever [i'm 26 by the way].......there's just something about that accent - he has the ability to make a statement with very few words.

Hmm...the Phantom (Gerard Butler) in the Phantom of the Opera, I guess. He's just so sad and lonely...but he does sing well!
