: :For any of you who have seen either most or all of DDL's movies, would you say that he looks his absolute best in LOTM?
: If not, which film and why?
Hi, Myte! To me, Hawkeye is the most gorgeous creature I ever laid eyes on, but having said that, I must confess, I find DDL pretty darn good looking in every film...except maybe My Left Foot, which not only required a face-hiding beard, but contortions of his features...very moving, but not pretty. I have always thought his elegant persona as Newland Archer in Age of Innocence was very handsome. There were scenes in In the Name of the Father, as he lost the dorky 70s look from the early part of the film, where he was very pleasing, too. And if you can look past the AWFUL prison-style haircut in The Boxer, he's pretty handsome there, as well...he's wonderful to see bare-chested and jumping rope. Hmmmm...on thinking it over, he's pretty icky looking in The Crucible and Room With a View, though on two different extremes. But all in all, yeah, Hawkeye wins!!
