According to a survey by Blockbuster Online, a majority of American movie lovers would like to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France, and they want to go on the arm of foreign favorites Antonio Banderas or Charlize Theron.

British actor Orlando Bloom, made famous by his portrayal of golden-locked Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and Aussie Russell Crowe of "Gladiator" fame were other top choices for an escort to Cannes.
