I just saw "URBAN COWBOY"on AMC…and the scene of debra Winger riding 9and writhing on) the mechanicalbull was just about the most erotic scene I’ve ever seen in a movie. What do you consider to be the most sensual scene in a movie? ---

Hey, let me fix that thread title for you. “Most Sensula Scene in a Movie” is making me think about Count Dracula’s hot vampire babe wives. ---

The circus sex scene in When Night is Falling is the most sensual scene I’ve seen in a movie. It’s beautiful. ---

Some of the dance numbers in Chicago are pretty damn hot, particularly the “Cell Block Tango.” ---

I don’t particularly care for either the book or the movie of **The Age of Innocence** , but the scene in the coach with the glove is very sensual. ---

Mmmmm … how about the Amazon tribeswomen smearing Kathy Shower’s amazing, naked body with oil in preparation for her Big Night with the Chief in “Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck”? Bu the firelight. Gleaming, shiny writhing woman flesh and lots and lots of helping hands. Not that it turned me on or anything … And it’s not a scene and I never even saw the movie, but the image of the guy feeding the strawberry to Nastassja Kinski in the promos for “Tess” … whoa! ---

I’m a fairly straight girl, but Jennifer Tilly seducing Gina Gershon by enticing her to feel her (Jennifer’s ) breast tattoo in _Bound_ comes to mind. Lambast me if you will, but I thought the hand-against-the-steamed-up window in _Titanic_ was quite sexy too. _ducks for cover_ ---

That dance scene in _An American In Paris_. You know the one. Yowsa. Also sensual but for different reasons, in a non sexual way but that makes you _feel_ the moment, I submit two: The slow motion train station shoot out in _TheUntouchables_, and Roy Batty’s death in _Blade Runner_. ---

In _Body Heat_ when William Hurt is standing outside the house looking at Kathleen Turner. He smashes the sidelite, unlocks the door, and a lusty tangling of limbs ensues. Your dog wants a cigarette. 😉 ---
