Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't remember what part of Mulholland Drive is supposed to be sexy, but in a way, I can say that for Out Of Sight too--but that's because I thought the whole thing was sexy--I've never seen J Lo do anything worthy of that performance again, and Clooney had everything dialed precisely to pr0n. Those two sizzled for me, no matter what was happening.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

For all teh sexy in OoS, I sometimes forget how freaking violent it was at times.

I think that for me, when it comes to sexy in a movie, I think I equate that with erotic or hot, or, for the majority, the anticipation or build-up. So, like, the dance scene in The Horse Whisperer was sexy to me. And Y Tu Mama Tambien was a good call. The nekkidness was there, but so was the physical emotion, totally sold by the actors (or, at the least, the actress).

Because books.

I can see them trying to go for *movies* that were overall sexy, rather than scenes, but I think scenes might be a better measure. On that list, I'd include the scene from Witness and Costner's speech in Bull Durham (although that movie was actually pretty sexy overall, too).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Michael Pitt's default setting is set to "creepy". So he's very watchable when the role calls for him to put forth his natural-born creepiness, but is just icky and wrong when he's playing, I don't know, a romantic leading man in a travelogue ("Silk", I am looking at you.) I still remember an episode of L&O: SVU where he played a budding sociopath -- he was fantastic. His role in "Murder by Numbers" was cut from the same cloth.

I have to give it to him though -- I watched the first season of Boardwalk Empire and thought he was reasonably good in that. He gives good "morally bankrupt".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I vote this scene: [link] Careful--it is on some odd porn site which was the only place I could find it, so NSFW AT ALL. I suggest immediately putting it in full screen mode to avoid the stuff on the the side.

Because books.

Oh, The Big Easy! Absolutely.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Scrappy! When our children were at home, and underfoot, H and I would take our VHS copies of The Big Easy and Dirty Dancing with us on our frequent three and four-day weekends *alone*. The mere allusion, "What, that? Or that?" has long been sexytalk for us. As is, still, "Look out for da gator, baby."

Quaid said at the time of the film's release that he and Barkin were non-romantic old friends, which gave them a sense of trust and fun to play and explore playing the scene, as well as the whole movie. Which is still and will probably always be a fond favorite.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That is priceless.

It's possible I'm missing something because I've never seen Immortal Beloved, but putting the Romantic's Romantic composer down as Lawful Neutral? What?
