Mandy Patinkin makes me hot...

I don't spend much time watching movies, but last night I had a wicked headache and lying on my sofa feeling sorry for myself, was really all I could muster. I was checking out the on-demand feature on our cable and saw that Yentl was under the free movies and I decided to give it a whirl.















It was a long, drawn-out, self indulgent Barbra Streisand vehicle with bad songs, but an interesting and relatively well executed premise... AND, Mandy Patinkin plays the love interest, Avigdor. It's a shame Barbra didn't see fit to give him a song or two, since he is actually a wonderful singer. His curly mop and full beard are really sexy (Oh, who knew? I have a thing for bearded dark haired men!). His character is sympathetic and even though his views on women are antiquated, his character is VERY appealing. (The clip below is NSFW as it includes a skinny dipping scene)

















The Princess Bride is another one of my favorite movies. Actually, I don't know many people who don't love that movie. Mandy Patinkin's character in that movie is damaged, angry, funny, and HOT. Inigo Montoya totally rocks the leather pants/porn star mustache and makes it work.


Mandy was also in another favorite of mine, Dick Tracy as Madonna's piano man. He only has a minor role in the movie, but he does share a song with Madge halfway through the movie...His hair leaves something be desired in this clip, but his voice makes up for it.
















So, let's review... Mandy Patinkin is hot. Talmud studyin', no pants wearin' Jew; revenge seekin', leather pants wearin' drunken Spaniard; or tortured tuxedo wearin' piano man... all hot.
