Gregory Peck, James Dean, Marlon Brando, and James Franco. Full stop. There are other actors whose looks I also like—and perhaps even prefer (Anton Yelchin, for one)—but whom I would not name among the “most beautiful film actor[s] ever”.
I think Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Anika Noni Rose (as well as Eva Green in ‘The Dreamers’… less so, for some reason, in her American films) are the tops in this regard. Rose, I think, is especially underrated.
Let me add Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, and Winona Ryder.
Lost In Translation
One Hundred And One Nights
Broken Embraces
La Dolce Vita
Everyone Says I Love You
Let The Right One In
Fish Tank
Ravanche
Sympathy For Lady Venegance
A Star Is Born
Josh, don’t bother with Marie Antoinette. It’s audiovisually stunning, sure, but as an actual film it’s truly terrible.
Though it is a film adaptation of an opera rather than account of a composer’s life and work, I highly recommend the Danish film ‘Juan’ (2011) to those able to get a hold of it. It’s a modernization (and, for some reason, anglicization) of Mozart’s ‘Don Giovanni’ in which the titular Juan is a wealthy artist; Leporello videotapes Juan’s conquests for him and catalogues them on a Macbook; and… well, you’ll see what else has been altered. Very true to the spirit of the original, in my opinion.
