These Hollywood moments turned sexy story lines and heads alike
Hollywood movies are filled with moments that titilate and excite. From Bogart to Douglas and from Pitt to Eastwood, film has captured some of the sexiest moments in the past century through Hollywood's looking glass. Recently, our editors tried to come up with the most compelling (ie: sexy) moments from film.
Drawing from our late nights watching cable as well as keen internet research, we now present the moments that - above all else - tingle and in some cases cause us to cheer out loud. So may we present, in no particular order, the sexiest moments in Hollywood films.
1. Wild Things
This movie also made our Top 10 Movie Sex Scenes and very quietly may be considered a turning point in a generation x which previously kept it zipped and Ferris Beuller style PG. The threesome which shocked movie-goers in this film between Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon and Denise Richards still ranks among the sexiest movie moments today.
2. The Mask of Zorro
There have been many heart stopping swashbuckling moments in film. But one that rings the bell in our sexiest moments category was in this Zorro incarnation with sultry, suave and arguably most manly Zorro Antonio Banderas with just enough braun, slicing away Catherine Zeta-Jones's dress during a duel.
3. From Dusk Till Dawn
We couldn't have said it any better than the MC from the roadhouse: "The mistress of the macabre, the epitome of evil, one of the most sinister women to ever dance on the face of this earth"...Salma Hayek slithers her way into our list with her reptilian ramba. Kneel and worship at her feet!
4. Pearl Harbor
This tale of two pilots peaked with the parachute hangar scene where one pilot (Josh Hartnett) finally cornered the sexiest nurse (watch for a future WOMAN.ca special) Kate Beckinsale in the parachute hangar. This movie will live in infamy almost solely based on this scene alone.
5. Titanic
There is the famous "I'm the king of the world" scene with Kate and Leo commanding the bow of the ill-fated ocean liner. But the scene that makes our sexiest movie moments list was the oft forgotten (and edited for TV scene) which features previously engaged Kate steaming up the car windows with Leo (aka: "the help") in the stowage area of the Titanic. High five Leo!
6. Basic Instinct
The moment Sharon Stone strategically crossed and uncrossed her legs under interrogation, her character's true sinister self and was revealed, among other things. This first full female monty shocked critics and movie goers alike but made Basic Instinct one of the sexiest and most talked about movie moments of all time and catapulted Sharon Stone's Hollywood stock.
7. Fatal Attraction
We've seen Michael Douglas get randy in at least a half dozen films, in fact he appears in other films on this very list. We've seen him as the a passive recipient of his boss's advances and even seen him narrowly escape the glowing edge of an ice pick in the throws of passion. But the moment he pressed Glenn Close up against the sink and simultaneously tore open her blouse, splashed cold water on her neck and broke his marital vows, this moment established itself in our list of top moments which even changed the way Hollywood used sexual props.
8. Ghost
As if canoodling with a ghost that is actually Whoopie Goldberg isn't sexy enough...the phallic fingering and massaging of the clay on the pottery wheel and sweet Righteous Brothers sounds establishes this most famous of pottery wheel sex scenes in our list. Both Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore were at their sexual and youthful peaks.
9. Spiderman
Spidey (Tobey Maguire) got caught with this mask down when Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) planted this one on him. True, she may be slutty but she's the only girl Peter has ever loved and that's enough to make our list.
10. Gone With The Wind
This list wouldn't be complete without the tingling moments that started it all. Arguably the seminal moment (no pun intended) in film romance. Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) carrying Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) up the stairs to their bedroom to make passionate love.
