I love era flicks. That’s what I call them. LOL. Anything that transports me back to different times and different ways. I sit straight up in the theatre when a knight comes galloping onto the screen, or a highland warrior storms onto the battlefield, or a Tommy gun wielding mobster protects his business. 
Why do I love this so much? Mostly because of the costumes. I love seeing the different styles of dress, and add in a hottie actor to go along with it I am in pure heaven.
Let’s start with Johnny Depp’s new movie, Public Enemies. This movie is held in the 1930’s during a crime wave in Chicago. With his fedora hat, pinstriped suit and matching vest, the costume designers transformed Johnny into the fiercest crime boss, one yummy crime boss to boot. Look at him. Can’t you just imagine yourself in a slinky dress standing behind this man?
I’m going to stick with good ole’ Johnny for one more example. What role would that be? Well, the role he’ll mostly likely be most remembered for: Captain Jack Sparrow. Who will ever forget that sexy pirate? The costuming for this movie was superb. The designers caught the essence of pirating with all kinds of little details. The picture I added includes Orlando Bloom, I couldn’t help it, not only am I ga-ga over the man, I’m impressed with the difference between the two characters. You have Jack Sparrow, a notorious pirate, and Will Turner, a blacksmith turned pirate. I think this picture shows the difference between the two men. Kudos to the designers.
Next, I move to the Australian outback
in the late 1930’s. Who can resist Hugh Jackman sporting his natural accent? I sure can’t. Add in the Crocodile Dundee look and I’m helpless to resist. I don’t know what it is about outback wear that gets to me. There is a dirty, sweaty look about it, but that is to be expected under the hot Australian sun. But when I watch movies based in the Outback, there is just something about the rugged look that makes me go oh-la-la. How about you?
Sparta!!
Need I say anymore?
Here are just a couple more gorgeous men, in period clothing.

Eric Bana...in any movie, but especially Troy! I loved him as Hector. That movie really put him on my radar.
Troy! I knew I forgot one! Yep, have to agree with you there! Brad and Orlando was also nice to watch. LOL.
I love historical movies too! My favorite costumes are anything Scottish, like in Braveheart or Rob Roy. But I also love knights in full costume. Oh and those 300 costumes... Hot!!! Love the Outback look and Hugh! Oh yeah, and almost any costume Johnnie Depp puts on! He has some interesting ones. Yum!
Nicole, LOL!! Love it! I do say there is something about putting a man in historical clothing that just makes him oh so much yummier. :)
Eric Bana as Henry VIII. Luscious Mr. Darcy. Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean, Dominic Cooper in Sense & Sensibility. Heath Ledger in a suit of armor....
..amy
Oh!!! Mr. Darcy!!! I am soooo kicking myself for leaving him off my pictures! Great one Amy!

Oooh, great post, Esme. We watched the first Pirates movie again today. Getting to drool over both Jack Sparrow and Will Turner is almost more than a girl can handle :)
And I could watch Hugh as the Drover all day long...
