Bale's eyes, and Ferrell's smarmy smile and weight. Plus he got shot, so he gets some slack.

As much as I love Teddy, our first badass president was Jackson. Fighting duels and beating off his own assasins with his walking stick. Manly indeed! He was pretty good looking too. http://faithmaps.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/andrew_jackson.jpeg I'm quite inclined to cast a vote for TR as well. He was rather fine in his police commissioner years. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2b/Tr_nyc_police_commissioner.jpg Also seconding FDR and Grant. I dont know what it is about the Roosevelts, but damn they were good looking. And Grant was hot in his general years - and then the whiskey got to him. He's kind of like the Elvis of presidents. Ridiculously good looking and charming at the height of his popularity - drunk, fat, and useless beyond his prime. http://cache.boston.com/resize/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2009/02/27/1235791642_4615/300h.jpg (Grant doesn't need a link as I take it that most everyone has probably seen that one picture of him leaning nonchalantly against a tree.) And finally, I think Jefferson should have made that list. He was better looking than Reagan. Not to mention completely and utterly brilliant! This has turned into a long-winded rant and linkfest already, but I think John Quincy Adams should replace his father on this list. His face is reminiscent of a shrew's. @ Trevor

The guy was our first butch president, cutting down trees and building canals with his bare hands. The guy ate thunder and crapped lightening. As far as unattractive presidents, my vote goes to Martin Van Buren; you know he was smuggling a whole lot of ugly under those whiskers No love for Teddy Roosevelt?

Don't you mean Grover Cleveland (who, incidentally, looks like Wilford Brimley)? I'm disappointed that there's no love for James K. Polk. Google image search him. He was a good looking guy. Kind of Clive Owen-y. Woodrow Wilson was also a very good looking man. And could easily have been portrayed by Jimmy Stewart. And finally, to prove I'm a complete US history dork, I've always kind of had a thing for Ulysses Grant. That could just be the uniform though. Or the drunkenness. @schechner: Why does Taft count as two? Don’t you mean Grover Cleveland (who, incidentally, looks like Wilford Brimley)?
