Oh, don't get me wrong, Inglor, I did enjoy Timeline as well, for the medieval stuff but also because it was shot where I hail from. So it was nice to see my countryside on the big screen and recognise the Quebecian accent of the extras when I'm so far from home myself. And I enjoyed the book too.
And no, Rob, you're right, we're talking about The Bourne Supremacy, sequel to The Bourne Identity, which had a nice morcel of man flesh in it too... Clive Owen... 
do.

The only redeming factor of Timeline was the Trebuchets. Medieval version of the Paris Gun.
I agree with Do on Borne, GREAT book though

hmm, i'm little to late to be jumping into this conversation, but I find I must. Both Bourne movies rocked! The first well, that's when I got my first crush on Matt Damon. For some reason he was just damn gorgeous for me in that. And the second, well ... you know. Okay, okay, I'll say it! Karl and Matt fightin through the whole thing. Come on, where else do you get that sort of fun?
Oh, and I have more people to add to my list. I just recently saw King Arthur and oh me oh my. Okay, generaly I don't like King Arthur stuff, but I really liked this movie. And NOT just because of the guys. Seriously. (yeah right)
But top on the line.
1) Ioan Gruffudd -he was Lancelot. I've seen some of the Horatio Hornblower movies (don't even comment on the name ladies), but like some one else said. Stick a good looking man in some armor and he becomes simply drool worthy.
2) Mads Mikkelson -i'm pretty sure that's the name of the guy that played Tristan. The one with eagle? You don't see him alot, but I find I like them side character types. Much more exciting cause you have to watch for them.
3) and the dudes that played Gawain and the Viking's son. Hey, what can I say, I've recently become addicted to blond haired and bearded armor wearing studs.
Alright, I've put the rest of my two cents in.
Ps. While looking back through this thread I saw Artanis' avie again. Was Karl really literally butt-naked in a movie?  Oh come on, I had to ask.

You mean this man?
As in this one?
Oh, hell yeah.
I kind of fancy this one too... another of Arthur's men, oddly enough - Ray Stevenson, who played Dagonet.

do.

|

Just sitting tight for "Kingdom of Heaven" to come out in may.
It stars Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson and also Marton Csoskas.
Armour has a way of making a lovely male look more, well, male...
(See my treatise on this in the Library section on Sex and Elves...) 
Something very primal about men in armour, I guess. The most stunning creatures, IMHO, in the LOTR films were Mark Ferguson, Craig Parker (of course...) and Hugo Weaving in the battle scenes.  The armour was a tribute to the martial male--like a peacock!
My jaw hit the floor every time some armoured beauty came onto the screen. Oh, yes, and as far as Men go, Karl Urban...

Gee, I wish I knew...
I am just lucky to hit on just about anything dealing with rings. I find typing in the characters' names will net pictures. I have done this for my favourites of the Silm.
Lots of nice fan art. Try Rolozo Tolkien, great art and no slash.
Many great fan artists.
Some art out there is pretty slashy, so if you are not into this, just browse elsewhere...
Also, try Elfwood fantasy art archive.
I hope this helps. If you cannot locate these, PM me and I can dig up some links.

About Lotr men in armour I have to mention Viggo Mortensen. At the battle of the black gate, I mean hello, you should be blind not to notice him

I think for Mikkelson, it was on a LiveJournal community (arthur_daily)... for Stevenson, I got that off the main King Arthur website. No magic words, unfortunately. 
do.

I think that scene is what made him hotter!! He looked old at the coronation but the ride up to the black gates until he sees the volcano errupting - Viggo looked yummy. Makes me drool. DAYAM! Gotta go watch ROTK EE again. Eomer....Legolas....Aragorn.... does it get ANY better??
Is it hot in here or just me?

Peter Jackson and the crew ran them off I think. I dunno - it will forever be the great mystery of LOTR....
