Honestly, I’m not the normal chick. I don’t get off on
watching sappy, romantic, caring sex. I like to watch what I
like to experience – steamy, hot, passionate, animalistic
sex without the attachments. Sex for the pleasure, not for the
emotional reasons, or pain it can sometimes cause.
Which brings me to my list. While certainly not a
traditional list, the ones I chose do it for me. You may have
seen them, and if not, I’ll do my best to explain why they
"move" me. So without further ado, here they are.
The first two are the ones that have separated themselves from
the rest.
The Two Best…
Mulholland Drive – The Lesbian Scene
No, Bag (the E-Crap head guy) did not pay me off, or make
me choose this one. He insists it is the greatest film of all
time, and still thinks it was his suggestion that made me grab
a male friend to go see it when it was in the theater. The
truth is that male friend is a David Lynch fan, and he grabbed
me to go see it.
The scene is between the two female leads (Betty and Rita
– played by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring). Some of
the reasons to be turned on by this scene are obvious. Both
women are gorgeous with great bodies, one is blonde and the
other dark haired, and the scene starts innocently and builds.
For me, this scene was so hot that it affirmed my desire to be
with another woman (a feat I have started several times since
without closing the book), hence being rated at the top of the
list. I always harbored some experimental feelings prior, but
after seeing this scene (while stirring every which way my
body would allow within the tight confines of a theater seat),
it was no longer in doubt.
Unfaithful – Diane Lane and Oliver Martinez
The first of two scenes I include where the featured
actress was either nominated for, or won an Academy Award for
Best Actress! Not only does sex sell, it seems it gets
recognized as art as well.
The chosen scene is the first love scene between Lane and
Martinez. Lane’s extra-marital affair was being teased with
for some time, and the build up was intense. When it finally
happened, it was quite steamy. For me, part of it was Oliver
Martinez, who is simply gorgeous, and someone I would spread
for in real life or a dream. For the guys, Diane Lane is one
of the hotter "older" leading ladies of film. She
comes across as very sexy. The scene is hot, with some gentle
hair caressing leading to some animalistic groping and raw
sex.
Many people feel the scene that follows, where Diane Lane
is riding back home on the subway after being unfaithful, was
the scene that earned her the Oscar nomination. As she sat
alone on the train, she seemed to experience every emotion –
from the utter pleasure and joy of the sexual tryst, to
the true disdain, shame, and guilt for cheating.
Honorable Mentions…
Basic Instinct – Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas
A much younger Sharon Stone, and a much better looking and
fit Michael Douglas. Actually, after sex, Michael Douglas
walks to the bathroom naked (from the back) and looks quite
fine. Part of the scene’s lure is the danger it presents,
with film watchers thinking a murder during the sex might take
place. Douglas’ facial expressions as he is being tied up,
and the subsequent groans of horror, help to clarify his fear.
But as he is getting f*cked (which he later terms "the
f*ck of the century), the fear turns to amazing pleasure, and
Stone does a few mind-bending tricks. Actually, I was so
impressed by the scene that I have since incorporated several
of the moves into my personal sexual repertoire, including
bending my body as far back as I can – trying to lay flat
back, while keeping the man inside. It has gotten me a few
verbal awards, but alas, no Oscar nominations as of yet!
Monsters Ball – The Couch Scene
Should it be called the "trailer trash slut"
scene? Or the "I’m a slut, not give me an Oscar"
scene? Make no mistake about it, Halle Berry won Best Actress
for this role, and the most memorable scene in the film was
this one – an X-rated one. Truthfully, I saw the film on
DVD, not in the theater, so I’m not sure if there was a
different scene shown to the paying public. It probably
overstepped the "R" rating boundaries. It was that
trashy and pornographic. But that was what I liked about it.
It was all about pleasure, even if she was drunk when she
softly moaned "make me feel good" to a less than
sexy Billy Bob Thornton. And as I have said many times, I
value sex more for the pleasure it brings me than the
emotional aspects. This scene was all about "feeling
good," something I have asked for on more than one
occasion myself. And Halle does not disappoint.
No Way Out – The Limo Ride
This is the first of my two "strange" choices. I
guess there is something about being seduced in the back of a
stretch limousine by a high-ranking government military
official in uniform. And if that guy happens to be a very
young (and very hot) Kevin Costner, all the better. While I
think the chemistry could have been better between Costner and
Sean Young, I still like the scene.
To Die For – The Seduction Scene
Perhaps this is not as sexy as the others. Honestly, it’s
not about the sex at all. It’s about manipulation, and
seduction, and power. Nicole Kidman seduces several teenagers
(in different ways) to get them to help kill her husband. In
this scene, Kidman sexually seduces a young, high school
student (played by a young Joaquin Phoenix). Kidman’s
dancing, touching, expressions, and asking the girl to leave
all add to the charm of this scene. I suppose somewhere deep
down inside, I have a similar urge to seduce a young high
school boy or girl. Why else would I like this scene, right?
