Basics:According to Wikipedia, The Phantom of the Opera (in French, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra) is a French novel by Gaston Leroux. Initially, the novel sold very poorly and was even out of print several times during the twentieth century. Today, it is considered to be a classic of French literature. It has since been adapted many times into film and stage productions, including the notable Andrew Lloyd Weber 1986 musical starring Michael Crawford (ahem!) as the Phantom. (Side note: The Phantom of the Opera musical is now the longest running Broadway show in history and the most lucrative entertainment enterprise of all time, its worldwide box office over the past 20 years out-grossing even the highest grossing film in history, Titanic.)

Pros:
Dude can sing
Dude can sing
A one-woman man
Misunderstood romantic side that appeals to women
He's French
Cons:
He's French
VERY jealous lover
Has stalker/might kidnap you/kill your boyfriend/raving lunatic tendencies
Not so easy on the eyes
Lives in the sewer
History of extortion and violence
*Upon review, it seems that Erik AKA The Phantom may not be a man worth marrying after all. Turns out he's got some really serious cons stacked against him. But when I say "dude can sing," I mean dude can REALLY sing.

I think I'll pass on this one too! BTW- I did watch Braveheart over the weekend. One of the most violent movies I have seen, but it was good.
Pros - mysterious, bad boy personna that appeals to some women before marriage/wears unusal,sexy outfit/fun,in a whacky sort of way/can really sing
Cons - your family definitely wouldn't like him/has no social skills/can't earn a living/would you want to live in a sewer the rest of your life?
I could listen to Michael Crawford sing all day long! However, my affections for the Phantom stop at lives in the sewer and raving lunatic tendencies...
Once again your pros and cons crack me up.
dreamlady: your pros and cons crack me up too!
mjm: yes, very violent flick. i had to look away a couple times, but i had to look away even more in his movie the patriot.
