These Rom Com Faces Are The Most Sizzling Looks From Movies
By Aimee LutkinEntertainment Weekly featured some of the cast of teen drama Dawson's Creek. The important ones anyway, and that includes bad boy Pacey Witter, who stole many a young person's heart through the television set on a weekly basis.
Writer Alanna Bennett wrote a short ode to Pacey on Twitter, saying how hard it was to lose your heart to someone who doesn't actually exist. Don't worry girl, we've all been there, done that.
Pacey Witter will always be that perfect TV boyfriend you’re like *actually* hurt doesn’t exist in real life.

One thing in particular stood out to her though. She was especially moved by how he would...look at a girl.
Bitch really knew how to look at a lady. I'm wounded. pic.twitter.com/hon9VZ2fIO

It's the "look" of all rom com leads. You know the one: When they turn, stare at their heart's desire, and just let her know she's the one. With their eyes.
The number one thing a man in a romcom needs, TV or movie, is the ability to look at their love interest REALLY WELL. The man barely even needs to speak if he just knows how LOOK at a person.

Maybe it's not something you've articulated to yourself, but if you watch rom coms, you know the look. And so do rom com creators—they even talk about it in Sweet Home Alabama, as someone pointed out.
Alanna. Have you watched Sweet Home Alabama with commentary? Because they talk extensively about Josh Lukas's eyes and how important a tenth of a second is at one point.

I LOVE how important a tenth of a second can be to a romcom. Also, I could sit here dissecting the romcom form ALL DAY. https://t.co/keEIBf2n7N

People began sharing all their favorites *looks* from movie and TV history, and let's just say there are A LOT.

Oof. Can someone please open the window? Or at least pump up the AC? Is it just me or is it getting, like, really hot and steamy in here?
Sir! pic.twitter.com/1Kb6tz7KLy

Or is it just all these leading men? (Sadly, probably, although I wish the rise in temperature meant a beach weekend was in the cards.)
In Pride and Prejudice, Matthew MacFadyen has some very good looks. (And in an instance of not looking telling the story, when helps Lizzy into the carriage without looking at her, then walks away and does that hand flex... it says everything. So efficient but full of story.) pic.twitter.com/CnKaYYWyJM

Smoking us with their eyes?

But, women can also deliver the Look:
Which is NOT to say they’re divorced from the action, far from it, ESP in stories where women are falling for women. Imagine Me and You’d entire plot TURNS on a look. pic.twitter.com/IZWcuuuyf5

I know this is about men, but I think about this look that Aishwaria Rai gives Ranbir Kapoor in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil A LOT pic.twitter.com/IGO7X9jJDo

All you need to do, is really, really want someone. Or be great at pretending you do. Keep stealing our hearts with a look, because it hurts so good.
