Bradley Cooper, "The Hangover" -- While his overly straight teeth and icy-blue eyes give him sort of a demonic look to us, girls and Hollywood starlets alike fawn over this dude, who played a thieving-good-time middle school teacher in this summer's breakout buddy flick.
Harrison Ford, "Indiana Jones" -- Pre-Calista Flockhart, Harrison was quite the Hollywood catnip. As Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, he played the type of college professor about whom we frequently have explicit dreams. Click here for more after the jump.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, "The Cosby Show" -- So Malcolm's character, Theo, never actually became a full-fledged teacher during the show's run, but he was all set to become one when it ended. After years of struggling with dyslexia, Theo was a senior student-teacher at New York University in the last season and still majorly swoon-worthy.
Jimmy Fallon, "Fever Pitch" -- Who doesn't love an affable goof like Jimmy? He was hard-assed career woman Drew Barrymore's softer foil in this baseball romantic comedy, playing a middle-school teacher of low ambition to her corporate-ladder-climber.
Ryan Gosling, "Half Nelson" -- We don't have to tell you how dreamy Ryan is, but he was honestly way less hot when playing a drug-addicted teacher in this somber film. At one point, prized pupil Drey (played by Shareeka Epps) walks in on him doing cocaine. Okay, okay, we probably still would have developed a major crush on him. ("Hey Girl" -- link has NSFW language.)
Michael Vartan, "Never Been Kissed" -- Michael played a decidedly disturbing high school teacher in Drew Barrymore's cult teenage flick: He actually reciprocated his feelings for his seemingly underage pupil. Eeek. But he was hotter than hotness, nonetheless.
Sydney Poitier, "To Sir, With Love" -- Sexy doesn't even begin to describe how we feel about Mr. Poitier, who at 80-something has still got it. He had even more of it in the '60s, when he pioneered the concept of the savior teacher intellectually rescuing poor kids in "To Sir, With Love." Wait, does that mean we have him to thank for movies like "Dangerous Minds"?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Kindergarten Cop" He was a former bodybuilder with an Austrian accent, so obviously he was hot. But did the fictional pupils in his kindergarten class realize that? Probably not.
Jim True-Frost, "The Wire" -- So he's not a traditional hunk, yes, we get that, but there was definitely something attractive about Jim's character Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski's search for how to give back to the less fortunate.(All images: Getty)

That's a waaay horrific picture of Vartan. Surely there are better ones you could have chosen...?

Since when does Bradley Cooper have a "demonic stare?" He is super attractive and HOT! He is easy to "fawn" over :-)

I'm a middle school teacher. Thanks for saying I look like an oompa loompa/snuffleupagus! LOL

You missed Russell Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind".
I want to know, in what alternate universe do math professors look like Russell Crowe?
(...or for that matter, in what alternate universe math students look like Jennifer Connelly...)

Wasn't Drew's character (can't remember her name as I was concentrating way too much on Michael's character Sam) 18 years old and he was 25 years old? That's legal where I come from. What is disturbing is that there is no male actor in hollywood who comes close to Michael Vartan's extraordinary good looks. He was cute in NBK but he just gets better with age, now more mature he is extremely sexy and as stated I am yet to see anyone else in hollywood come close to his extraordinary looks. The best part is that he is so down-to-earth, humble and unassuming and doesn't abuse his looks. I am looking forward to seeing much more of this wonderful and very talented actor on the hit TNT series HawthoRNe and other productions.
