One of them being: A Very Hetero Manhunk List. But I've grown impatient and gone ahead with it on me own.
If something seems inserted, it's because it was, thanks to Wiki wiki and Imdb. Here it is, in no particular order:
1. Daniel Day Lewis
A great website I often visit is The Art of Manliness. It sounds cheesy because it often is, but there are a plethora of good articles in there. One of them makes a distinction between two similar words:
"manliness"; virtues and values men should strive for such as bravery, honor, and loyalty.
Then there's my idea of "manly"; medium-rare steaks, drinking brews with the buds, punching bears, and The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
While on set for the production of Gangs of New York, he would talk with a New York accent and sharpen his knives at lunch.

Everyone who's seen this film understands that no other film has a better ending fight scene so I don't really have to go into depth there.
During the production of The Last of the Mohicans he built a canoe, learned to track and skin animals, and perfected the use of a 12-pound flintlock gun, which he took everywhere he went, even to a Christmas dinner.
Then we have his remarkable portrayal as the nefarious nationalist, Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York (2002).
While on set for the production of Gangs of New York, he would talk with a New York accent and sharpen his knives at lunch.
I could laud his performance all day but there's no thesis here, just very declaratory sagacity.
Haha, English can't help but make me sound like a pompous pedant--a real hoity-toity.
I feel compelled to mention Lewis' role in There Will Be Blood (2007) not only because of this very hetero and comprehensive manhunk list, but because of that current exponential problem laying waste to the gulf and ensuing coast line.
[Daniel Day Lewis on researching his role as PLAINVIEW in There Will Be Blood]: "I read a lot of correspondence dating from that period. Decent middle-class lives with wives and children were abandoned to pursue this elusive possibility. They were bank clerks and shipping agents and teachers. They all fled West for a sniff of cheap money. And they made it up as they went along. No one knew how to drill for oil. Initially, they scooped it out of the ground in saucepans. It was man at his most animalistic, sifting through filth to find bright, sparkly things."
I wasn't going to include that excerpt but I enjoyed his voice throughout it--very measured and articulate, almost, I dare venture to say, enrapturing with its honest simplicity.
2. Pierce Brosnan (Exclusively in GoldenEye)
But here, we can admire his poofy hair and fitted tuxedo and Walther PPK--not to mention the opening sequence of the film where he bitch slaps the great majority of the Russian army in their own facility and escapes via helicopter via riding off a cliff on a motorcycle.
Now, "manhunk," although vague in its etymology, can translate a number of ways. I for one, am lazy, and do not wish to delineate the multitudinous definitions one can ascribe to the word "manhunk," but will instead allow for the subsequent video to voice my sentiment.
I say exclusively because, there was simply something to it--some methodology to his attractiveness, his ulterior role in awakening the secret agent in all pre-pubescent boys, or at least he did for me, since Sean and Roger's portrayals were never very salient...I know Pierce was in Mars Attacks! but how can we really look at this man the same after Mama Mia! both exclamatory for reasons unknown...

And then there was this to solidify it all for years to come...Slappers Only!:
3. Hugh Jackman
I call him Hugh Jackedman.
There are plenty of shots of him as Wolverine but I figured this French movie poster did proper justice, considering the way it captures his roar amidst an oncoming storm, and his augmented crotchal-region...I mean I could be wrong, but my jeans don't necessarily do that when I'm angry.
Some facts from the film X-Men (2000), since it's my favorite of the three.
Gary Sinise was the studio's preferred option for the role of Wolverine. --That's right, Lieutenant Dan.
Despite being nearly 6 feet tall, James Marsden (Cyclops) had to wear platform shoes so that he would appear taller than Hugh Jackman (6'2")
Jackman got his testicles caught in his harness after a 6 foot jump off the set's Statue of Liberty--but rest easy friends, those Adamantium jewels withstood the ordeal and would play a crucial role in the next year when Jackman would portray Stanley Jobson, the world's greatest hacker in the film Swordfish (2001).
4. Jimmy Kimmel
Now, "manhunk," although vague in its etymology, can translate a number of ways. I for one, am lazy, and do not wish to delineate the multitudinous definitions one can ascribe to the word "manhunk," but will instead allow for the subsequent video to voice my sentiment.
Although I felt conflicted as to who would fill the fifth spot on this contrived list, I've decided upon
5. Vigo Mortenssen (Exclusively in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy)
I just want to say I feel privileged to have grown up with this trilogy. This is my Star Wars.
There's one particular scene that tickles my knurl, which was so excellently defined by Deez Nuts on Joe Mama's face--the scene near the end of The Fellowship where Aragorn decides he can handle infinite orcs while the others get a head start.
It starts with this singular shot of Aragorn, measuring up his off-screen foes, and suddenly leads to...
a mirthful massacre of orcs and plenty more to dish.
I love how you can find pretty much any screen shot from this entire trilogy on the internet thanks to prudent fans.
6. Keith Carradine (Exclusively in Dexter--FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy)
I believe every fan of the Dexter series remembers when Frank Lundy first walked into Miami Metro Police Department, exuding professionalism, confidence, and raw sex.

That's right, sex. Looks like lucky Deb's got some hot boobs resting under her boobs.
Before I delve into any other salacious aspect of Lundy's being, such as his surprisingly toned old-man buttocks, I should say I found his teeth distracting...I don't remember why in retrospect, maybe they were yellowish, perhaps too many FBI coffees, but I still found him an incredible addition to the ensemble that is the Dexter masterpiece.
Dexter is such a powerful character on his own, letting the mask of his sanity slip only when necessary, that I couldn't help but giggle like an Irish school-girl at the following exchange between him and Lundy, pitting Dexter as the inexperienced one, hiding in the mouth of the lion.
Dexter Morgan: Hi, you wanted to...
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Morgan, come in. Can I offer you some tea?
Dexter Morgan: Uh, no, thank you. I'm...
Dexter Morgan: [thinking] And he pours it anyway. He's trying to throw me off balance, show that I don't have the power to say no to him.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: How about some sesame crackers to go with that?
Dexter Morgan: [thinking] So I'll say yes to everything.
Dexter Morgan: I'd love some.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Oh. Sorry. Guess I ate them all.
Dexter Morgan: [thinking] Asshole.

Although I basically just picked out amazing actors from amazing scenes/films, I still feel strongly towards my choices, and I plan on expanding upon this list, whenever my boredom's piqued.
