Monday Movies Meme- Some Like It Hot

3 Comments

This week’s movie topic is all about Steamy Love Scenes…

This weekend in Boston a heat wave arrived. Usually the only things this hot here in April come from a steamy love scene. You know the kinds I’m talking about – where the screen just sizzles with passion and you would be embarrassed to watch it with your parents. Sometimes they are key to the plot development, and other times you know the director just threw it in there to be “titillating.” (ha ha) Hopefully this warm weather spell will stick around for a while, but just in case here are some steamy scenes that came to mind should we need them to warm up. What ones have fogged up your screen?

hosted by the Bumbles

Here are my choices-

Body Heat (1981) William Hurt & Kathleen Turner

Mulholland Drive (2001) Naomi Watts & Laura Herring

Fatal Attraction (1987) Michael Douglas & Glenn Close

Unfaithful (2002) Oliver Martinez & Diane Lane

A History of Violence (2005) Viggo Mortensen & Maria Bello

and if you like Diane Lane and Viggo Mortensen a sweeter, hotter love scene  – A Walk on the Moon (1999)

So what do you think?  Did I miss a good one?

    Some miracle might have produced it, yet the stages of the discovery were distinct and probable.  After days and nights of incredible labour and fatigue, I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation of life; nay, more, I became myself capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter.

    Your turn.

    TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:

    • Grab your current read.
      Let the book fall open to a random page.
      Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
      You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
      Please avoid spoilers!

    “The ax was clean and bright and manly.  There was a sick feeling in my stomach, this side of throwing up, but it had, within its center, the undeniable bubbling of excitement.  I could change my life, right here.  I could make my whole life different and I would be different that way for my whole life, forever, and this – right here – would be he moment where everything turned.”

    An Invisible Sign of My Own by Aimee Bender, Chapter 10

    Fleur tagged me for this photo meme

    “Find your 5th photo file folder, then the 5th photo in that file folder. Then pass the meme to 5 people.”

    This is me and my Mom last year on Mother’s Day before we went downtown to the Ritz for High Tea.  It was a wonderful day 🙂
