To Sir With Love
The other night after I had fallen asleep on the couch in front of the T.V. I woke up and To Sir With Love was on. Sure it's dated and a little over the top, but Sidney Poitier is wonderful. I was in love with him and wanted to go to highschool in east London, by the end of the movie. I wouldn't say that he is drop dead gorgeous, but he is the personification of what I think a gentleman is, something that seems non existent in young male leads in today's films. There is a depth he brings to his characters. He can be vulnerable, silly, commanding or angry. Underscoring all of this is wisdom, intelligence and a feeling of safety, knowing that he will be able to handle any situation with grace. Plus that rich smooth voice and style, just complete the package. I want a man like him.

I think he is drop-dead gorgeous.
I love that over the top moment at the end when he rips up the letter offering him his "dream job." And then the Lulu's To Sir With Love pumps out in a very over the top way. And I agree with Jacy - gorgeous.
I also love the dance scene at the end and the part where he yells at the girls and uses the term slutty or slutiness. I loved that. In his voice "slut" almost sounds good. Plus he does look rather tasty in a turtle neck. Which is something not many men can pull off.
