[16] The Upcoming Adult Presents: 18 Female Movie Crushes

The two last lists before my life retrospect are going to be shallow. But in a way they're also going to be the most profound lists in this blogathon. What makes us fall in love with a movie character (not to be mixed up with the actor him/ herself)? It's both the looks and the writing - but mainly, it's the acting, isn't it? The actors bring their looks, and their talent, and they become the perfect vessel for our dreams and expectations to both ourselves and other people. A movie character, just like a character in a book or a song, can be everything you want - perfect - in contrary to real people (and actors, as we should remember). 
Although I'm neither a dude nor homosexually orientated, I have often fallen in love with female characters in movies, and it was really hard to choose only 18 of them - I could've chosen about 180. But here they are, 18 of my female movie crushes in no particular order...
The Tree of Life, Jessica ChastainNot only one of the most beautiful mother figures but also one of the most sensual characters in any movie I've seen. 

Jane Eyre, Mia WasikowskaHer breathtaking beauty even made me forget about my antipathy to middle partings.
La Dolce Vita, Anita Ekberg Having seen the images a thousand times and expecting a boring cliché scene, I was taken aback by Sylvia's actual attractiveness.
Devdas, Madhuri DixitNot only a nice contrast to weep-face Paro, but a strong and self-contious, beautiful... courtesan. I hope I'm morally allowed to be in love with her.
Vicky Christina Barcelona, Rebecca HallWith everyone doting on Johansson and Cruz in this one, I often feel that the wonderful Rebecca Hall as Vicky gets overlooked.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Juliette LewisThere was something so sweet yet so desirable about Becky! Perhaps the color of her lipstick?
The Lord of the Rings, Liv TylerI've always been fascinated by elf-ish people...
Atonement, Keira KnightleyIsn't it interesting how often your favorite movies are the ones whose main actors are attractive to you?
Ballet Shoes, Emma WatsonI was going to choose Hermione but any Emma Watson movie so far would do. Pauline had a Marilyn Monroe-ish character that was just... enchanting!
Salaam Namaste, Preity ZintaPreity used to be my favorite actress for some years and I had a little obsession about this character here. Even wanted to change my name to Ambar.
Black Swan, Mila KunisI was very close to choosing Natalie Portman here but Lily is just the sexiest character in this movie.
Ishqiya, Vidya BalanFinally a rather dark Indian female character - and so sexy!
Little Big Man, Faye DunawayLiterally everything about this character fascinates me - the way she talks and walks and... everything!
Asoka, Kareena KapoorKareena often played very b*tchy characters back when this one came out, but Asoka was a welcome exception.
Eyes Wide Shut, Nicole KidmanThis movie has been featured a lot in the previous lists and Alice is one of my favorite things about it.
Daydream Nation, Kat DenningsKat Dennings is so adorable - very natural and dreamy, especially in this movie.
Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey HepburnHolly... I've always loved Holly, even without knowing. And without having seen the movie.
Titanic, Kate WinsletAnd finally one of my favorite actresses playing one of the most attractive characters I know.
