"  After filming a pseudo-documentary about the essence of love (that would be Paper Heart, which opens tomorrow), Charlyne Yi appeared with Channing Tatum in a spot-on spoof of one of our all-time favorite big-screen romances, the Catskills-set classic Dirty Dancing. While Yi claims no expertise on the subject of rom-coms (&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve really seen only maybe 50 films\u2026actually, it might be more like 30,&amp;quot; she demurred), we asked her to name her top six cinematic heroes.           Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing &amp;quot;In Ghost, he plays someone so sweet, kind of a husband type. I didn&amp;#039;t see Dirty Dancing until many years later, and I was really surprised, like, &amp;#039;Whoa. Is he supposed to be a sex symbol?!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Photo courtesy of Vestron           Nicolas Cage in Peggy Sue Got Married &amp;quot;I think it was the first thing I&amp;#039;d ever seen him do. I just really liked the story, and I think it&amp;#039;s hilarious that Francis Ford Coppola hated his voice in the film\u2014I actually thought it was great.&amp;quot; Photo courtesy of Tri-Star           Colin Firth in Bridget Jones&amp;#039;s Diary &amp;quot;That movie is just so very Pride and Prejudice. I thought he played the arrogant, closed-off guy pretty well.&amp;quot;            James McAvoy in Becoming Jane &amp;quot;He was incredible in that. I saw him in a comedy a long time ago at the Aspen festival, and he was really funny. But it was nice to see him do something very dramatic.&amp;quot; Photo courtesy of Miramax           John Travolta in Grease &amp;quot;I felt like I&amp;#039;ve met that character before\u2014someone who tries to act really cool, and then when he&amp;#039;s with you he&amp;#039;s really goofy and ridiculous. Then he&amp;#039;s with his friends again and like tries to balance his cool and ridiculousness.&amp;quot; Photo courtesy of Paramount           Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s this one narrated scene where he&amp;#039;s just walking around and smiling, tossing around a pebble, and it seemed like it could be the cheesiest thing, but it just came off as so natural and charming.&amp;quot; Photo courtesy of Castle Rock  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
