Southern Dude #2

Atticus Finch.



I know what you're thinking. Atticus is the classic nice guy, not really the smoldering type, or even what you'd consider to be "hot." But, that being said, he's probably one of the most noble characters in literature. He's an amazing father, he takes up the cause of the oppressed, he's respectful to everyone, and he's a terrific shot. Plus, the fact that he's played by Gregory Peck in one of the best movie adaptations of any novel certainly doesn't hurt. Atticus Finch= totally bangable.

I was watching this stupid show on ABC about the best movies of our time, and #1 was Gone With the Wind. Which reminded me:

Rhett Butler



Say what you want about the treatment of race/the South/the Civil War/whatever in that novel, a) it's epicly awesome, 2) Rhett Butler is like the epitome of bangable. As a young girl, I was (idiotically) partial to Ashley, mostly b/c I found Leslie Howard to be attractive (he was British and his name was Leslie). But as I have grown older, like Scarlett, I have seen how vastly inferior he is to Rhett Butler, blockade runner, war profiteer, and all-around wonderful rogue. Plus, he gets one of the best kiss-off lines in all of literature. Great balls of fire!
