BBM DVD WATCHING Habits and Reactions: THINKIN' OUT LOUD... POWERFUL FILM SCENES

On the Silence of the Lambs theme...
One unforgettable moment for me was the part toward the end where Lecter reaches the file through the bars and she grabs it and he just slides his index finger over hers. That one gesture had more genuine chemistry than 90% of sex scenes in movies today.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. And I'm a student of genuine chemistry from way back. It's so rare in movies, and nothing irritates me more in film (besides being patronized) than leads who are supposed to have chemistry... not having it.
That said, I keep coming back to this: The reunion scene is *by far* the most erotic love scene I have ever seen put to film. I know this because of what it, uh, causes in me every time I see it. I've felt variations of it upon seeing a few others in my tenure, but nothing even remotely like that. As belbbmfan mentioned in the publicity shots thread - Ennis knocking off Jack's hat so he can get closer to him, their hands, the grappling at each others' shirts and faces, the intensity of expression, the throwing of each other against the wall - GAH. Nobody, and I mean *nobody* does it better.
Shite. Time for another imaginary smoke break.

Hey Barb, I agree with you that the reunion scene is by far the most erotic on film ... that is, unless Tent Scene 2 is the most erotic ever on film. One or the other. Really, I have tried over these past few months to think of any scenes in other movies that even come close to these and can't.
If I can't think of any other movie as sad, and also can't think of any movie as sexy, I guess that explains why I'm here.
Back to chemistry for a sec. I don't want to go too OT, but Barb, you should start a thread about who in your studies you've found most lacks it. My vote would be Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts in that movie whose name I can't recall but it's something in first person. I love Nick Nolte and I'm fine with Julia, but together they made me cringe so much I could hardly look at the screen.

And here's another powerful movie scene:
Miranda Richardson's breakdown at the end of Damage, confronting adulterous husband Jeremy Irons on his fling with Juliette Binoche, the fiance of their son Rupert Graves, who has just been accidentally killed after discovering the secret.
This scene vaults Louis Malle's film into something nearly Shakespearean in its tragedy.

Could you be talking about *shudders that she even KNOWS it* "I Love Trouble". Wasn't it just awful? Oh god, I needed to shower after sitting through it.
