So do I! Yes! :)
And so must directors do - since he's been on horseback in so many films: Brokeback, of course - A Knight's Tale, equally of course - Casanova - Ned Kelly - Brothers Grimm - The Patriot - The Four Feathers. Plus probably that early TV-series or film where he's sporting Xena-series-type costumes (I've only seen images, don't know more about it.)
I'ts been interesting to read the comments to my list and reviews. :) Some of the films I truly find about equally good, especially those in the middle of my personal list - so it's not easy to place them in order of liking. But Brokeback and Four Feathers both are very secure in their respective positions. ;)
I was a bit surprised that noone's commented in the defense of "Brothers Grimm". I've been wondering whether I might like that one better if I re-watched it, after all it was a film with good actors and considerable resources and talent went into all aspects of its making - but then I recall the headache it gave me and it's not tempting to try.
I'm interested in hearing a bit more about "Two Hands" Anyone care to post something about it - opinions, synopsis etc? That's the one film of Heath's I've neither seen nor have any idea whether it's goor or what it's about beyond a two-line synopsis on IMDB.

I remember that several papers here in Norway made a specific point of that in their reviews of Casanova. Bemoaning the total lack of chemistry between Heath and Sienna, and doing a contrast-and-compare to the, in their view, obvious and intense chemistry Heath had with the other lead in the film of his that preceeded Casanova. And I guess we can all agree! ;)
Penthesilea:
I agree with most things you've said about Heath's films, Mikaela.
And I definiteively agree about Monster's Ball. I made it through the movie once (and barely so), and the next time I only watched it as long as Heath was in it.
Also The Four Feathers; what a boring, boring movie :P
I actually liked Brothers Grimm. It was a bit confusing, but I didn't find it noisy. And you're right about Heath's chartacter, very cute and endearing.
Apart from BBM, Candy is the Heath movie I like best. Great actors, griping story.
Ned Kelly: too much beard, too few eye candy
10 Thnigs I hate about you and A Knight's Tale: nice, entertaining, but that's it.
The Patriot: overly patriotic Mel Gibson flick with a very, very young Heath (not my cup of tea) and additionally his character dies. Enough reasons to not like it.

A male poster wrote (I don't remember where) that the show you mention has TONS of Heath in tight, skimpy costumes ("guess-his-religion tight" is the term he used). That he rents that TV series just for that reason. Hee!

That was me! I bought the series when it became available on DVD it's called ROAR. It's cheesy, much like XENA, but Heath makes it more than watchable (*fans himself*). He has a love scene with Keri Russell in the first episode, then she gets killed, but they were cute together. They had some chemistry, which is nice. So many of his films are notable for the lack of chemistry between him and his co-star. With the exception of Charlotte Gainsbourg, Abbie Cornish, Jake Gyllenhall, Matt Damon, Rose Byrne, Naomi Watts and maybe Julia Stiles.
