| 41-45: Summer Movie Hotties! |
 |
| 41. ARACHNID HOTTIE!* Tobey Maguire More or less first on the scene in the bizarre Pleasantville, this rather cute actor dominated the summer scene with Spider-Man. I never got tired of wandering past the theater for the upside-down kiss. Can't wait for the sequel! |
 |
| 42. PHANTOM HOTTIE!* Ben Affleck Why phantom? Becuase Adriane and I were the only two people in the world to go see Phantoms. Ever even heard of it? My point exactly. Ben stepped into Harrison's shoes to become Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears in June: the first movie I was paid to preview this summer. Despite the inexplicable bad reviews, this is a movie well worth seeing. |
 |
| 43. ECCLECTIC HOTTIE!* Matt Damon The name's a work-in-progress. But how do you name someone who's gone from Dogma to The Legend of Bagger Vance? Needless to say, Matt starred in my favorite movie of the summer: The Bourne Identity. In addition, he was also the voice of the horse in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Of the Matt and Ben duo, Matt's definitely my favorite. |
 |
| 44. IMMIGRANT HOTTIE! Tom Cruise He'll always be Immigrant Hottie because Adriane and I love Far and Away. This summer he brought us Stephen Spielberg's delightful Minority Report. I actually came into work on my day off just to preview this film. Even though Tom's recent behavior hasn't made him my favorite person, he's still pretty attractive. And he certainly deserves a place for Minority Report. |
 |
| 45. NEW YORK HOTTIE! Christian Bale One of the more fun movies this summer (for pure thoughtless entertainment) was Christian's Reign of Fire. With his scruffy post-world-destruction look and a lower-class British accent, how can you not be attracted to him? His roles in Little Women and The Newsies are added bonuses as well. |
