[momophile]

[Haole Girl]

1. That was a tough choice!

I think my head would have exploded if you'd included Clark Gable! lol

[momophile]

13. glad you didn't explode

Clark Gable was devilishly handsome, wasn't he?!

[Haole Girl]

32. Yes, especially in his younger years. This is my fav pic of him...

[sarge43]

38. My, my. That's easy on the eyes. n/t

[argyl]

42. My Mom loves George Clooney.One reason being she thinks he looks like Clark Gable,

a guy she really swooned over in her younger years.

[leeroysphitz]

2. Gregory Peck?Good lord who would pick that troglodyte over Grant?

I mean seriously? If there is anyone COOLER than Cary Grant (other than Skittles) I don't know who it is.

What's wrong with you people?

[Skittles]

5. BUT.......BUT......

I LOVED Gregory Peck!!!!!!!! :D

[leeroysphitz]

10. Should have seen that one coming...

:spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank:

[Skittles]

15. I loved Cary Grant too

:thumbsup:

[MassLiberal]

8. what about Atticus Finch?

***swoon***

[momophile]

16. Cary Grant was suave

but Gregory Peck was so much more.

[Robeson]

3. Both. I guess I'm a troglodyte.

[AlCzervik]

4. Gregory Peck no doubt, Grant was great in a different way, Peck was a master.

[graywarrior]

6. For sex or for conversation?

I pick Alan. For sex...and then talk.

[AlCzervik]

7. you wouldn't have boinked Peck? C'Mon!

you're killing me.

[graywarrior]

9. Don't you mean pecker?

[momophile]

20. Alan is in a completely different category

and I'd rather he talked first and then sex!! I love that voice...

I mean, of course, if I weren't happily married.:D

[graywarrior]

22. Talk during the deed. Oh baby, oh.

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. Gregory Peck.

*swoon*

[AlCzervik]

12. seriously.

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. I must say, you have fantstic taste in men.

;)

[AlCzervik]

19. yes you too! We always like the exact same ones.

:toast:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. I couldn't possibly choose one...

They were both so....

[AtomicKitten]

17. Atticus! Atticus! By a half-mile. ;)

[momophile]

21. and now the OP will post her answer:

Gregory "holy fuckin' shit he was the hottest" Peck

[BuelahWitch]

23. I picked BOTH!

No way I could choose!

[edbermac]

24. Peck a great actor, but Grant could poke fun at himself.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

51. I agree

the Peck was a little too stiff...uh, what I mean to say...

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. In what?

Grant did comedy and drama equally well. If Peck ever did comedy, I'm not aware of it — but something tells me he could've.

OTOH, Grant was 0 for 2 in the Academy Awards while Peck was 1 for 5 — and he should've gotten one for "Twelve O'Clock High." Peck was capable of superior performances; Grant wasn't.

:shrug:

[girl gone mad]

26. I think I know Hillary's answer.

I may not agree with her on everything, but on this we see eye to eye.

[Perry Logan]

29. Busted!

[MonkeyFunk]

27. Hehe

We just watched "Topper" tonight.

You people are nuts. I love Gregory Peck, but Grant was the quintessential movie star.

[Perry Logan]

28. Impossible choice. But wait--wasn't Peck somewhat of a flip-flopper?

[sarge43]

31. If you mean bi, nothing on the buzz wires, but Grant ...

there are rumors. :shrug:

[Perry Logan]

43. I didn't mean (or know) anything about that. Just a feeble joke about polls.

[sarge43]

44. Understand. My mistake.

Grant did deny he was gay or bi, so that's that.

[terrya]

30. Cary Grant....but this is a tough choice.

I think that Grant was the better actor...slightly. Grant could effortlessly do comedy as well as drama.

Both were very handsome men.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. look here what you made me do --

[sarge43]

45. If you still have any hair left, Tuesday, here you go.

They don't make 'em any more beautiful than those two.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

48. be still my heart

*thud*

thanks

[sarge43]

34. Impossible choice

So much depends upon what you want.

Grant was the better actor. He had a greater range than Peck. He could do comedy; Peck was rather hopeless at it. Further, Grant could bring a depth and darkness to a dramatic role. When Peck had a role he believed in, like Mockingbird, none better. Important point: Neither ever, ever phoned in a performance; you always got your money's worth -- often with interest.

As human beings, Peck gave back to his society beyond his profession. He tried to make the world a better place. Grant was a loner. He took care of him and his, but didn't seem to do more.

Looks? Grant in a tux was one of the most beautiful constructs of the 20th century. Peck could wear anything (or nothing) and nail you with those eyes and that voice ... that voice.

[Iggo]

35. I'm reminded of Ginger's answer...

...to a similar question when the Professor was checking Gilligan's mind-reading abilities. They asked her, "Gregory Peck or Rock Hudson?"

When Gilligan read her mind he came up with "Rockory Hudpeck," since Ginger couldn't make up her mind.

So, in honor of that, I'll say, "Caryegory Grantpeck."

[redwitch]

36. Love them both but Gregory Peck was my choice.

Atticus Finch. Nuff said.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

37. Throw in Henry Fonda and you've hit the Trifecta

nt

[MilesColtrane]

39. Peck

...despite my fondness for that old acid tripper Archie Leach.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

40. Never cared for Grant at all.

I can't even explain why. I just didn't like his screen presence. Peck, yes. Grant, no.

An ex-girlfriend came over for dinner one night and brought her copy of "Bringing Up Baby" for us to watch. One of the longest nights of my life.

:toast:

[Jade Fox]

41. I love Peck for his politics, but.....

I gotta go with Grant for his wit, self-effacing charm, and all around versatility.

[momophile]

[NewWaveChick1981]

47. Mmmmm.....Cary Grant....

:9

[joeybee12]

49. No contest...Cary...the best looking man on celluloid...ever...

...and a much better actor than he was given credit for.

[Deja Q]

50. Peck me instead and I'll exercise 3 hours per day! I'll Grant you that!

:hide:

[Drum]

52. A Cary picture:

:)

[mondo joe]

53. I ain't choosing between Atticus Fitch and C.K. Dexter Haven.

Ain't doing it.

[Flaxbee]

54. Gregory Peck was just physically beautiful

Grant was handsome, and funny, and had me swooning in Notorious and North by Northwest, but something about Peck just stops me in my tracks.

Peck's father owned a pharmacy/soda place in La Jolla, California; the store was in the exact same spot as a gallery I worked in while in college. AND one of the La Jolla regulars who used to own the movie theater (back when the theater had an orchestra) knew the Peck family and said they were all just extremely kind and nice people. And my friend, Spencer, is himself an absolute peach of a man, so I believe him. :D
