It isn't yet the twenty-first century, so we can't show any nasty business nor naughty bits, but that makes it steamier. Grace Kelly--what can I say. Flitting in and out of the claustrophobic apartment in her streaming see-through nightgown... it's a wonder Jimmy Stewart even glances at Ms. Torso across the yard. Don't even get me started on the tender cuddling... it is just too much. And the incredible chemistry is only the cherry on top of this classic.
James McAvoy and Keira Knightley in Atonement
Library scene. A personal inspiration even, one could say.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson in Match Point
It's forbidden, so it's going to be hot. And Rhys-Meyers has always irritated me, but Johansson's raspy, overflowing bosom--er--sexuality makes up for his uncomfortable, squinty moments. Also--throwing yourself at your lover (under the pouring rain) in a field of wheat...best thing ever. Wait, what?
Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
You wouldn't expect such a heartfelt, well, normal portrayal from Carrey, but he delivers in Eternal Sunshine. This romance is anything but formulaic. The whole point of this movie is that there exists a certain chemistry that binds one human being to another, and that nothing--time, memory loss, obstacles--can change that. I like to believe that.
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook
My argument: the amount of longing in Gosling's gaze at any given point in this movie. And also the whole "we-haven't-been-able-to-have-each-other-for-so-long-and-now-we-can-like-whoa" factor.
Tommy Wiseau and Juliette Danielle in The Room
Have you seen The Room?
