when i was younger i was obsessed with Benny & Joon. i wanted that to be my life. i haven't seen it sinc ethat year (must've been like.... 93 or something). i must've seen it 100 times though. i'd like to see it again sometime so i can laugh at what a sap i was.

Seeing as its my new favorite song....The scene in "Bottlerocket" where Anthony runs from the coffeeshop to be with Inez.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Writing on naked Ewan McGreggor in The Pillow Book ... yes, please! In fact, most love scenes involving Ewan McGreggor. Especially the ones with JRM in Velvet Goldmine.

― kate, Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Any love scene with Halle Berry in it.

I'll see your Halle and raise it to Thandie Newton, please.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

"raise it" hehe!

Hmmm, I can't think of any in particular, I dunno, I'd just get embarassed with all the camera crew around. I suppose one involving Rachael Leigh Cook or Jennifer Love Hewitt would be cool, but they don't really do those steamy love scenes.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:42 (twenty-three years ago)

(would someone please give t.newton her eyebrows back btw?)

― jones (actual), Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:46 (twenty-three years ago)

i hate love scenes in movies, they just piss me off because i end up sitting here thinking 'what a load of bollocks that never happens, no man is that cool / wonderful, it doesnt look like that in real life etc etc'
i wish i could enjoy them, but i never do :-(

― donna (donna), Thursday, 7 November 2002 19:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I almost said Thandie Newton and then remembered "Beloved".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 November 2002 19:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Jack and Bella in Croupier

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 7 November 2002 19:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Donna actually cuts to the chase of things when it comes to idealizing movie love, I have to admit. Now that said:

I almost said Thandie Newton and then remembered "Beloved".

Just think of that brief bit with her in Interview With the Vampire, then. The only time I've ever wanted to be Brad Pitt.

Try 95% of them.

I draw the line at The Tall Guy, though.

the little quicky memory-montage in Clueless where Cher realizes she's been in love with Paul Rudd and then they kiss.

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 7 November 2002 21:35 (twenty-three years ago)

All of A Walk To Remember, gender reversed.

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 7 November 2002 21:43 (twenty-three years ago)

My cousin Natasha is a dead ringer for Thandie Newton, but she's only 18 and as such I am a responsible older cousin (oh crikey) so don't think anything, even for a second.

My love scenes? The bit in Breakfast at Tiffany's where Holly and Paul have their day of being silly.

As far as sex scenes go, well, in Stealing Beauty there's the Italian advice columnist who starts the affair with the younger man. There' s a bit when they're all at the party where you see her run into the maze throwing off her dress as she disappears into the hedges. He follows. That's all you see. It's my favourite movie sex scene.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 7 November 2002 22:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint flirting on the train in North By Northwest.

Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn drunk in The Philadelphia Story.

Donna Reed and James Stewart messing around in the bushes in It's A Wonderful Life.

Maggie Cheung and Chow Mo-wan in In The Mood For Love. Just for the dresses.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 7 November 2002 22:58 (twenty-three years ago)

and you liked it when they kissed in donnie darko! or was that purely voyeuristcal?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 November 2002 23:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Good flirt/date dialogue entertains me to no end.

― Stuart, Thursday, 7 November 2002 23:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, Richard. I was the fat man.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 7 November 2002 23:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I am peter lorre.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 7 November 2002 23:13 (twenty-three years ago)

so don't think anything, even for a second.

Too late.

― Andy, Friday, 8 November 2002 03:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the scene in Grosse Point Blank when John Cusack is proposing to Minie Driver and shooting all the mobsters.

― nellie (minna), Friday, 8 November 2002 03:34 (twenty-three years ago)

like the question.

can't think of enough, I know there are heaps: meeting in the empty pool to "make out" in the ice storm; um I guess I want to be the little boy who Christina Ricci got into in the ice storm.

and not really the same thing but sometimes I think of that scene in the Abyss where the lovers are in the big diving bubble masks so they can't really touch but they're looking at each other.

the sexual and romantic stuff I would like to see a lot more of in movies is: submissive men preferably unskinny/unbuff w/dominant women esp but not in the stupid usual ooh strong slutty woman kind of dominatrixy way. Oh god what's the use there's so much I only get to see anything even resembling it once in a blue moon, in a queer film fest or something, not that imagination doesn't go a long way (ie I can easily "position myself" as the male in a situation, or whatver). Sometimes I get kind of "emotionally" obsessed with/ envious of movie scenes - most recently the Agatha precog and Tom Cruise the series of scenes in Minority Report where they're entwined together. And Xander saying I love you to Willow over and over as she wounded him on the final of Buffy.

― spectra, Friday, 8 November 2002 03:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Robert De Niro and Elizabeth McGovern; the restaurant/riverside in "Once Upon a Time in America"--impossibly beautiful.

I Spit On Your Grave (no not that scene; the bathtub)_

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 8 November 2002 05:17 (twenty-three years ago)

it's maybe not a love scene per se, but box of moonlight where they jump over the fire in their underwears and dance around and then sleep together in the hide a bed outside in Kid's "house"

say anything, that scene in the car

high art, at the upstate house

naked in new york, the scene where she has her first orgasm

buffalo 66, in the hotel room, all the way from the bathtub parts

boys don't cry, with swank and sevigny in the grass

land before time, where they all snuggle together cuz its so cold out, even sarah (p.g. love)

the idiots, the part where (i can't remember their names) go upstairs during the "gang bang" party

stealing beauty, under the tree, near the end (not with nicolo in the olive grove)

before sunrise. maybe with hawke taken out of it, people would hate it less

sorry, i'm working off a list of movies i like

"the anal sex bit in Bridget Jones Diary"

One of the first conversations I ever had with my now fiancé was about that, I didn't pick up on it when I watched the film and he pointed it out, he said the look off absolute horror on my face when it dawned on me almost put him off pursuing me any further....love is....

― Plinky (Plinky), Friday, 8 November 2002 09:14 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm going for Before Sunrise as well - the bit when they're in the booth listening to records.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 8 November 2002 09:56 (twenty-three years ago)

J-Lo and George Clooney in Out Of Site. I think I want to be George Clooney - or maybe I want to be J-Lo but with J-Lo. Or George with George? I dunno, maybe I could join them for a menage a trois.

― toraneko (toraneko), Friday, 8 November 2002 10:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi Todd.

― Miss Laura, Friday, 8 November 2002 10:08 (twenty-three years ago)

What is this Before Sunrise revisionism? They are the most annoying couple ever committed to celluloid! I had to turn off after 20 mins I was getting so cross.

Over the years I have learned that anything with 'sunrise' in the title is rubbish.

Dear god in heaven. I'll go for Arthur's answer because it sounds like what would happen if Van Halen taught a lit class, while I'll abuse Mr. Perry for his saucy language later.

the scene in the car from Say Anything...

― luna.c (luna.c), Sunday, 10 November 2002 08:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan, the whole point of Death In Venice is Dirk von Aschenbach AIN'T GETTIN' ANY.

Dan was confusing Death in Venice with a Chi Chi LaRue film. Or should that be Bruce LaBruce?

When I was younger & top gun first came out, I always looked at their first love scene & hoped 'it' would be just like that. I mean you could see their tongues!!! *faints*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 13 June 2003 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)

N. is OTM about the dresses in In The Mood For Love. Sod love scenes, just being able to wear those gorgeous frocks would be enough for me! *sigh*

Yes, that movie has excellent clothes. But then it is pretty excellent in general.

THat lady and the guy she hooks up with at that party who is not her husband and they have sex in that car in the Ice Storm.

Ha ha. Worst sex ever.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 13 June 2003 12:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd have thought the blowjob in the car in The World According To Garp was the worst sex ever (though I haven't seen TIS)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 13 June 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure the blowjob in Brown Bunny will top it.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 13 June 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I get the impression that there isn't much you can say about that except it's in focus (and thus unrealistic).

Anyway worst sex on film != worst cinematic depiction of sex.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 13 June 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

How 'bout that one between Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie in Labyrinth?

What's that you say, there was no love scene in that? Hm.

i wish i was the one seducing Uma Thurman in 'Dangerous Liasons'. i've had a serious crush ever since i saw that bosom.

Rachel Weisz and Jude Law in Enemy at the Gates
Every moment of copulation in Bully

I hate to include anything with Rachel Weisz in there, but that scene just makes me feel... bleh.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 14 June 2003 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

that episode of Buffy where the entire female population falls in love with Xander. The key moment is when he walks into his room to find Willow wearing nothing but a long shirt and laying in his bed, she gets up, demands he take her virginity and then licks his ear.

After that night, had I been him, I'd LET the rest of her gender rip me from limb to limb.

Harold. Most of the time. Don't ask about Irreversible.

Yes - is that the gang rape scene?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 14 June 2003 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

No gang. Just Monica Bellucci, the ugliest guy in Paris and a bottle of poppers.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Saturday, 14 June 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked that scene in "Enemy at the Gates" actually.

runner-up: first scene between Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve.
