One of Bale's Sexy Movies


I like Metroland and have seen it a few times throughout the years, but I recently rewatched it, and I didn't realize how funny and sexy Christian Bale is in it. Yeah, I know everybody loves his Batman muscles--and they are nice--, but he has a very nice Englishman's body here. I love seeing him running around in his underwear and going crazy over either Elsa Zylberstein or Emily Watson. The first scene-- in which he starts kissing Watson and complains about not remembering when they last had sex, and she says yesterday morning--is so funny and sexy. And the scene where Bale is drunk and stoned is so funny. He needs to do another movie like this, or in the same vein, pronto.

It's one of my favorite Christian performances.

I agree! Christian is so funny, sweet and very sexy in this movie! I'm watching it now and I haven't seen it since it first came out! A very enjoyable little flick made all the more so by Christian's performance.

I'm not at all into muscles, so I think he looks just perfect here - natural. It's a great film because it is so understated.

I also find it amazing that it never appears on cable during prime time - it's either relegated to the wee hours of the night or middle of the day.

What a great film!

More's the pity for us females... kinda wish he'd go back to indie Brit stuff that allows us to see a bit of flesh. That only leaves us with Ewan McGregor (don't ask me about the still scene of "Velvet Goldmine" that I froze and use as wallpaper... at home.
