Now, let's talk Movie Club! I have a lot of thoughts. #1 being that we tend to feature a lot of action movies with so very many men - naturally I should be ranking the dreamiest dudes in each movie. I make a solemn vow to you that henceforth I shall be sharing my very official and 100% unassailable ranking of the top 3 hunks in every Movie Club film of 2023, starting with February's film, Drive.
But first, we have to acknowledge all the Hunks that came before. They walked so 2023's Hunks could fly. I present to you Now and Zen's Top Hunks of Movie Club 2022:
My #1 is Michael Biehn in Aliens. Michael Biehn in the 80s/90s was a total dish, and the chemistry he and Sigourney Weaver shared as Ripley and Hicks in Aliens inspired a whole bunch of fanfic (god bless the internet), which I have absolutely read, for research purposes of course.
Gary Oldman is my #2, but I refused to use a photo from The Fifth Element because that may be the only time in the 90s he didn't LOOK smoking hot.
Casey's #1 is Brandon Lee in The Crow, and I must agree he is quite hunky. Her #2 is Casper Van Dien, who is okay if you like muscles I guess...
And finally, Noah's choice, Mr. Dean Norris, who made appearances in 2 films from 2022 - Starship Troopers, and Total Recall. I can't argue with this pick; I also adore Dean Norris.
Casper Van Diem? The man couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag. He makes Denise Richards’s performance in Starship Troopers look Oscar worthy. The only actor I can think of who has worse delivery is Michael Dudikoff.
Ian McShane is an international treasure!! I’m a huge fan. So glad somebody else gets my Albert Brooks crush – his humor just reels me in! :)
