The 100 Sexiest Movie Performances of The Decade (2000-2009)

The rules: (1) Males, of course. Women lovers can make their own list. (2) Each actor's name may appear only once. So, despite the many hot movies by, say, Coco Martin, I had to pick just one. (3) The sexiness of the actor and the sexiness of the role count, but most of all, it's about the performance: the sexiness that the actor brings to the role. As for the definition of sexy? Let these 102 examples (I cheated) illustrate that vast spectrum.

Excellent list as usual.

JC Castro's lurid appeal is hard to replicate in today's sculpted man-dolls. He was like the appallingly, maliciously sexy man from across the street. Along with Roy Rodrigo, Leo Rabago, and Anton Bernardo, JC Castro embodied the kind of naturalistic masculine sexiness I always loved seeing in pito-pito movies.

Btw, does his absence from the list mean that Roy Rodrigo didn't have a movie out in the aughties?

How about Daniel Fernando in Scorpio Nights? Allan Paule in Macho Dancer? Another favorite of mine was Anton Bernardo in Sa Paraiso ni Efren.

Tangina andami! Nalula ako sa mga lalake. Hindi na ako makapag-react. Ni hindi ko nga napanood lahat sila eh.

Ahahaha!

I got your tactic--drown out criticism by sheer numbers! Hahaha!

At nakikibagay pa ang word verification: "barity"! Hahaha.

Oh. No. You. Didn't. Oh my god you did! Hahaha

*Standing Ovation*

Haaay, harold pineda, if only "Pila Balde" was in the year 2000 and not 1999. Haha.

Where is Anton Bernardo "Sa Paraiso ni Efren"?

OMG, hands down to you.
Naiimagine ko tuloy ang mga lalaking yan nung edad katorse palang ako. Haha.

You are brilliant.

@ anonymous (comment #2): scorpio nights and macho dancer both came out in the 80's. this is a 00's list.

@ anonymous (comment #2) and lobster tony: sa paraiso ni efren was 1999. but i still managed to sneak in the wonderful, beautiful anton bernardo here for the much less memorable "saranggani".

@ losbter tony: i love harold pineda and pila balde. he almost made the list for "mainit na tinapay" but got cut out.

@ johnnypanic: we share a love of lurid, appallingly sexy men, hehe. roy rodrigo didn't have a very memorable run this decade, but i adore him, especially in 1998's "kesong puti".

@ joelmcvie: yes! gawa pa tayo ng 100 more lists!

@ chichirya: thanks.
