I have always enjoyed Jake's films and his contribution to them. I was particularly impressed by Donnie Darko and Moonlight Mile. But I also loved Jarhead. I will discuss more on the 'Superstar in the Making Thread' as that is more to do with his film roles. As this is his pictures thread, i will just say, he looks beautiful in all the photos you have posted.
I do love his physicality, especially in Brokeback; it brought me to tears more than once. He has such a screen presence which makes every single word and every gesture bear down on you (the viewer) like a tonne weight. I thought this was particularly evident in, not only the intimate scenes with Ennis, but also when he was talking to the rodeo clown. (there are many other scenes I could name but the rodeo clown pick-up scene was especially poignant.)
