Most of the scenes described below are classics, but there are a couple of more obscure moments in films listed that I found unforgettable: Marilyn Monroe, "Some Like It Hot", the subway grate John Travolta, and his strut, "Saturday Night Fever" Ann Margaret, as stunningly kittenish teen-aged Kim in "Bye Bye Birdie" Marlon Brando, absolutely flawless "The Wild One" Elizabeth Taylor in that white dress, "Giant" James Dean, shooting pool nervously, looking at Elizabeth Taylor in that white dress "Giant" Tom Cruise, dancing in "Risky Business" Brad Pitt, flyfishing, in "A River Runs Through It" Audrey Hepburn, ready for the ball, "My Fair Lady" Robert Redford, as Katie (Barbra Streisand) ruffles that hair in "The Way We Were" Julia Roberts, the red dress, "Pretty Woman" Rita Hayworth, as she tosses back her hair in "Gilda" Nicole Kidman, dancing in car headlights, "To Die For" Charlize Theron, holding up her hair for Al Pacino's appraisal of her neck in "The Devil's Advocate" Angelina Jolie, spinning on the runway as the aids-stricken model Gia Carangi in "Gia" Michelle Pfeifer, in the soooooo-slow glass elevator scene, wearing an emerald green dress, "Scarface" Robert DeNiro, in green beret uniform, "The Deer Hunter" Kim Novak, barefoot in black, curled up on a couch in "Bell, Book, & Candle" Lisa Bonet, as Epiphany, washing her hair under the appreciative gaze of Micky Rourke in "Angel Heart" (I thought the movie sucked, but the moment was still breathtaking) Paul Newman, as Fast Eddie Felson in "The Hustler"--any scene. I sometimes find myself gasping at the sheer beauty of the human being captured in moments on film. As I pondered over some of these more obvious moments, I got to wondering about what some of your classic moments might be - so...care to share? Another "name 'em" game for you folks.  |

When Ewan McGregor hits the "Don't leave me this way" portion of the Elephant Love Song Medly in Moulin Rouge, the look on his face and the way his hands are restrained from being held out, begging... love it. Same movie, a few bars earlier, when he transforms his delivery from "reading poetry" to "singing" (My gift is my song, and this one's for you) and Nicole Kidman stops her fake orgasm in suprised wonderment... the look on her face, beautiful. Good one k. I bet I can think of many more (just re-watched Moulin Rouge last night, so t'was fresh in my mind)  egowhores.com - really love yourself. |

Virtually every scene of nature or fishing (and Brad Pitt) in A River Runs Through (and Robert Redford's narration is poetry) And the same to be said of Robert Redford in The Horse Whisperer... the scenery in that movie is visually stunning in every frame. Brad Pitt in the tux in Joe Black. Brad Pitt with long blond hair in Legends of the Fall and the way he looks at Julia Ormand. Tom Cruise and most all of the cast in the Last Samurai... another visually stunning film.. the scenery, the costumes and the beauty of the cast and the chemistry between the cast, is all amazingly effective and impressive. All of Dances With Wolves...cast and scenery hmmm.... still thinking...  |

Gene Hackman's performance In Mississippi Burning. Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide in those Naval uniforms. (For that matter..Gene Hackman most anytime hes on the screen in a well written part) Oh and back to Mr Redford in The Natural Im trying to think of some girlies too..lol Piper Perabo in Lost and Delirious Kim Basinger in No Mercy and 9 1/2 Weeks and yes to KA's Lisa Bonet scene... and Im a sap for the chemistry between Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing... " No body puts baby in the corner" and Keanu Reeves--"Neo and "Trinity" in the Matrix series. Ok...I need to unplug from the matrix and go to moth bed |

I thought of these two afterwards, and sure enough, they were on Raph's list: Susan Sarandon, in that Bull Durham stocking thing and oui, oui, to Sophie Marceau in Braveheart. And I'm laughing at the Carrie Fisher, Raph. That must be a guy thing.  C? I haven't yet seen Moulin Rouge, but I am such a fan of Nicole Kidman's it's embarrassing. So you know when I do watch, I'll be looking for those scenes and remembering you. Jan...A River Runs Through It. We are still on the same page, twin. And Phaerie Child? Richard Gere and Julia Ormand...He played Lancelot YES! There's a scene where he drips water in her mouth from a leaf that I found very, um, erotic.  And how could we forget Sigourney Weaver hunting aliens in her underwear? Not to mention all dressed in red and snarling in Ghostbusters? |

Meg Ryan (When Harry Met Sally) The fake orgasm scene - I am still trying to find what she was having Renée Zellweger (Jerry McGuire) "You had me at hello." sigh.... Clint Eastwood (Sudden Impact) "Make my day." Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) The bench scene, "Life is like a box of chocolates." Harrison Ford (Raider Of The Lost Ark) when a warrior starts swinging this huge sword like a ninja, and he pulls out a gun, says, "What the heck," then shoots him. (Monty Python And The Holy Grail) where the aboriginal man drinks a bottled coke. Peter Pan "There it is Wendy, second star to the right and straight on til morning." I still look for it. Judy Garland (Wizard Of Oz) "We're off to see the wizard." Any scene, from just about any movie with Shawn Connery, Brad Pitt, or Tom Cruise in it. |

Well, I definitely agree with the tom cruise vote.. That last scene in the Last Samurai when he honors his friend *sniff* and then gives his friend's sword to the emperor *sniff* Then there's the Seventh Sign with Demi Moore, that pulled at my heart strings! Especially the ending! those are the only two i can remember this early in the morning..i'll be back! |

The tango scene in Scent of a Woman. Whoaah! Jessica Rabbit "I'm not bad..I was just drawn that way." Marilyn Monroe in just about any scene of any of her movies, but, as Cherie'(Cherry) in Bus Stop singing "That Old Black Magic." The ending scene when her lover puts his coat around her shoulders and offers her a hand up into the bus. Awwwwwwwwwwww. South Pacific the first time Lt.Cable lays eyes on Liat. I was entranced. The Shall We Dance scene in The King and I. My favourite words from True Romance "You're so cool." Oh, I will be daydreaming more than any other day now. |

Ooooh yes...Jimmy Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life!! The scene in the bar when Jimmy is praying to God for help. They did this in one take. Back then the camera equipment was very inadequate so instead of being able to zoom in on Jimmy's teary face, they had to sort of blow the film up. If you look really hard, you can see abit of a change in film quality in that scene, but, oh, what a marvelous job Jimmy did. He is one of my all-time favourite actors and just a very gentle man. I have his book of poetry. |

Got to agree with Summer of 42. Jennifer was absolutely captivating in her way too short 12 minutes in that wonderful film. There have been many more but, after being reminded of that one, I just draw a complete blank. |

Dustin Hoffman in every movie and every scene. "Kramer vs Kramer", "All the Presidents Men", "Death of a Salesman", "The Graduate", "Hook" just to name a few. My favorite being "Rain Man"... I think this versatile actor ran with his talent and kicked it up a notch as Raymond Babbit. It was such a bittersweet role, not just anyone could pull off. Gotta love that little Focker!!! |

Yes, and the scene in Gypsy where Natalie Wood is dressed up sexy for the first time, almost ready to go out on stage. She is standing in front of the mirror, reaches towards it and says "Mamma? Mamma, I'm a pretty girl." And one of my favourite scenes is also with Natalie Wood in Splendour in the Grass when she visits her ex-boyfriends(Warren Beatty) farm, meets his pregnant, sweet wife and kneels down in their messy kitchen, she's dressed in white with dainty gloves, and touches the family's toddler son. OMG. *sigh* |

Gene Kelly stomping in puddles in Singin' in the Rain which leads to... John Cusack in Serendipity - when he kicks the snow in frustration, then realizes that it just hit some people on the sidewalk. egowhores.com - really love yourself. |

I also like "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennesee Williams. When her faorite glass figurine (the unicorn) falls off the table and the horn breaks off. Jim picks it up and Amanda says now it is just like all the rest. She felt that she wsas like that little unicorn, because she was different from everyone else. But when Jim tells her he liked her for herself, she realizes that she is just like everyone else....oops. Sorry for the lecture... ~~SCG~~ |

"And how could we forget Sigourney Weaver hunting aliens in her underwear? Not to mention all dressed in red and snarling in Ghostbusters?" you know, that Sigourney scene was on my list but forgot to write it down, where she slips into the spacesuit wearing nothing but her underwear..and it was apparently very cold in the room..and that ghostbusters scene lol "I make it a rule never to get involved with posessed people....well actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule..." Bill Murray sum more: Catherine Zeta Jones crawling through the lasers in Entrapment Jane March in the Lover..dear god.. Jennifer Connelly riding the pony(damn that sounds wrong) in Career Opportunities Kelly Preston climbing into bed in Twins.. Mia Kirshner, schoolgirl outfit/pole...Exotica..mind you any of these actresses..a schoolgirl outfit..and im fine Heather Graham, tight pants, and American Woman playing in the backgorund in Austin Powers Halle Berry Swordfish Nicole Kidman in anything, but eyes wide shut was nice..especially fast forwarding through it to the good parts |

On Golden Pond - the conversation in the boat with Chelsea(Jane Fonda) and her dad (real dad Henry)....hits you right in the heart. Same movie...Katherine Hepburn singing her camp girls song while dancing along the wooded path. Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? - the dinner speach made by Spencer Tracey and the look on Katherine Hepburns face. Steel Magnolia's - the cemetery scene with Sally Field's breaking and her friends all following along. Same movie -just after her daughter has passed and Sally Fields greets her toddering little grandson with open arms. OMG. |

"Jessica Lange in Frances Farmer..." oh yes... I do a fair imitation of her in this scene: "I don't want to be what you want to make me: dull, average, normal." Man, when she says "normal" it's like she's trying to spit something nasty off of her tongue. Love that movie. |

Do movies made for TV count? Then add in all of "Sarah, Plain and Tall"... Glenn Close is the hard late-19th century easterner who finds she can survive the adversities of the midwest... and she carries her eastern accent off wonderfully! |

Some nude scenes-- There is a physically perfect blonde in "Clockwork Orange" who is there for the scientific purpose of testing Alec's (Malcom McDowell) animalistic reactions. She is such a perfect being it's surreal. Annette Bening, does a delightfully impish (and perky) nude prance in "The Grifters". and speaking of Annette Bening, well, she's not present in this scene from "American Beauty" but when Kevin Spacey is confronted by the visually stunning but still pubescent sight of a nude Natasha Lyonee, (is that right?) didn't we all feel the conflict? Gorgeous woman child, but a child and oh I cried as he reluctantly but rightfully passed on her offering. What a scene...what a movie. |

Karen, you had to ask.. here goes. Brad Pitt and the entire crew of Legends of the Fall...so many beautiful people... Johny Depp in Chocolat Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy at the end of the move. Robert Redford in Jeremiah Johnson......enough said.... Demi Moore in GI Jane when she says "suck my stick" Carl Withers in Rocky Sean Connery in Entrapment when the FBI guy asks him if she was worth it. Anthony Hopkins in ANYTHING and especially in the Mask of Zorro when he sees his daughter Elana again for the first time after years of prison. Catherine Zeta Jones in Mask Of Zorro when she smells the flowers when arriving in California. Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayeck in Desperado walking away during the explosion. Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson when he's on the stand and says You Can't handle the truth in A Few Good Men. Steven Seagull and Chuck Norris in anything....{or nothing }ok.... thats all for now....  |

Oooooooh!! Shawshank Redemption. The whole movie....but Morgan Freeman is one of my all time favourite actors. His calm, and cool voice makes the narration even more compelling. "I'll take that tall glass of water...." as Andy walked by with the rest of the new prisoners. Gawd I love that movie! |

Shall We Dance - when Richard Gere comes up the elevator with the rose and then they dance. (Didn't want to see the movie 'cause I'm not a big fan of Gere or J-Lo, but I was pleasantly surprised. It unique, clean, and interesting IMO.) Gladiator - Russell Crowe through the whole thing. Equilibrium - Christian bale... pick a scene. And Emily Watson (Mary O'Brien in the movie) has few scenes but she is absolutely stunning in each one. Man on Fire - Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning in the "You smiled" scene. Return to Me - Where David Duchovny comes in and collapses on the floor, sobbing. I can hardly watch it anymore because it makes me sob so much. The Village - Bryce Howard when she's holding her hand out in faith when everyone is telling her to close the door. And more when I think of them... |

This is great stuff gang... (guessing my Time Warp nostalgia got to you K?  )I first knew I was a heterosexual when I saw Julie Newmar as Catwoman. this may explain my subsequent attractions to 'bad' girls -- (who are actually just misguided good girls, yanno )"oh Catwoman, Catwoman, will you never learn? " We could fast forward to Halle Berry in Catwoman (even though it sucked) yeah... Regina King (in the role of Margie Hendricks) in 'Ray' and while we're at it Kerry Washington as Della Bea Geena Davis in Earth Girls are Easy.... and Long Kiss Goodnight of course Susan Sarandon...in Rocky Horror Diane Lane in.. um.. (pardon me I lost my train of thought) anything but, you fall in love with her in Lonesome Dove (I even sat through 'Tuscan Sun' but you can't prove it, I deny everything) Elizabeth Shue in Leaving Las Vegas Kate Hepburn in African Queen Sean Young in Bladerunner -- there is a moment she is absolutely brilliant when she first suspects that she might be a replicant -- her bravado turns into vulnerability and, um... ok... I'll second Raph's Connie Neilson nomination as well as most of the other ones... Nicole Kidman.... yes, best in To Die For -- although I agree in MR there is that one moment when it stops being a show -- Jennifer Jason Leigh in FTARH the pool house scene when she props up on one elbow and ... um... Natasha Henstridge (has she ever been in a good movie? who cares?) Species Rebecca Demornay in -- you know which one -- the train scene... 'I can feel it, comin in the air tonite... ' And I'm going to say Charlize Theron for Two Days in the Valley and give the nod to Terri Hatcher for that one too... Rene Russo in Tin Cup and Thomas Crown Affair Diane Lane in... oops... did it again.. |

Reb, we think alike..scary isn't it? I've got some new ones but wanted to nod at yours first I think Julie Newmar did that for many generations of men. Geena Davis,slaps head, of course...the fly too! Susan Surandon in Rocky was right up their for me but durham won out..s'all good though Sean Young in blade runner, absolutely, i thought i'd posted that?!! and two days in the valley! The first time i'd ever heard of Charlize Theron..i'd forgotten that..how i have no idea..i'm slipping others: Aurore Clément in Apocalypse Now sharing her pipe and bed with Sheen in the Redux only plantation scene. Kim Basinger in the first Batman Elizabeth Perkins, a footbal shirt, in BIG Keira Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean, sure she needs to eat a sandwich or 40, but thin or not she is stunning Naomi Watts, and a very cold room in 21 grams Kate Hudson in Almost Famous and nothing else, absolutely melts me Madeline Kahn, maybe a weird one for some, but not only was she hot, but made hotter because of her sense of humour especially in History of the World. Mary McCormack as Allison Stern in Private Parts, l#ve or hate Stern it's a great movie..her smile & black bra/panty 'babymakin scene is beautiful' btw Paul Giamatti is stellar in that one Natalie Portman in Leon: the Professional, before anyone berates me or pins a lolita label, it's not sexual. She's simply stunning in the movie, particularly when professing her love for Leon..you knew she was going to be special, it's too bad she hasn't acted as well since |

Robert Duval is a favorite of mine, but best in Lonesome Dove, The Apostle, and Open Range... not what I'd call a 'beautiful people' -- he makes the ordinary beautiful. Raph, Raph, if you want great Susan Sarandon you have to go to 'The Hunger' -- with Catherine Deneuve too -- Bowie -- primo... And lest we forget, Ursula Andress in 'Dr. NO' rising up from the tide... Honey Ryder... Raquel Welch in 100 Rifles (and isn't she a testament to the aging of fine wine?) Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the West... (ok.. I'm OLD) Ditto's on Elizabeth Perkins -- she's always been a real charmer -- best photography of her in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street.

Julia Roberts as "Shelby" in Steel Magnolias when she said,“I’d rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.” That particular line really sunk in for me and been have 30 minutes of wonderful twice every hour ever since. |

Robert Duvall in The Apostle. I thought he was brilliant. And btw? I loved Farrah Fawcet in her role as the prayer weary wife. That's one of those films I can watch over and over again. I love the part where Duvall is raging at God in the wee hours of the morning, and his mother gets a phone call from a neighbor and we hear her side of the conversation: "sometimes he talks with God. Sometimes he argues--tonight he's arguing." grin...reminded me of my brother. But oh yes, I wanted Duvall to get the Academy vote for that one. I felt his pain when he didn't. sigh. And Marissa Tomei stomping out her biological clock in "My Cousin Vinny"--absolutely adorable, as well as her "cute little deer" speech to Vinney. And her stint as "the hostile witness" is forever implanted in my head. (I love her, can ya tell?) And I should say, "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" but I say that knowing it needs not be said. Three sexy stars, and the implied familiarity/threesome is a squirm- your-seat intriguing thought. |

Yes, yes...Robert Duvall in The Apostle! Amazing acting. Well, then again his acting is always amazing. I loved him as Gus in the Lonesome Dove series. And, correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't it a young Diane Lane as his "Lory darlin'"(short for Lorena) in that series? She's beautiful. |

Duvall in Apocaplyse..everybody ducks for cover as shells explode around them, he just stands there, annoyed, waiting for Sheen to get up. |

Another that I watch, every time? "Donovan's Reef" John Wayne, and Lee Marvin as his incorrigible buddy... damn. I need to buy that. It's priceless. |

There are soo many and I'm sure I'm not remembering most of my favorites but here are a few of them that have come to mind.... "The Notebook" (2004) WOW!!!! "Frequency" (2000) The last scene of the movie..when they are playing baseball and the Garth Brooks song comes on. I get choked up. You have to watch the whole movie to understand. "A Walk To Remember" (2002) "Titanic" (1997) The love that Jack has for Rose. And Rose's Passion to live. Disney's "The Blue Yonder" (1985) "Fly Away Home" (1996) "Man On Fire" (2004) "The Man From Snowy River" (1982) "Ever After" (1998) "Children of A Lesser God" (1986) Hmmm.... I have to go think some more!!!! Bridgette |
