The library scene in Atonement is the hottest, most erotic sex scene I’ve ever scene in film. The rest of the film is beautiful as well.

I’m not the only person in the world who loves that movie? Hooray!

It is a really sweet movie; it’ll give you the warm fuzzies. Total cuddle movie.

Seconded. Telling your husband to

eat the cock of your burnt to death lover, at gunpoint

doesn’t inspire me to break out the lotions and mood music.

That said, another vote for Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. And Love Actually. And Shakespeare in Love. And 50 First Dates.

I’m not gonna dis anyone by naming names, but some of the movies suggested here are a huge turnoff … hell, I’ll name one … “Last Tango in Paris.” It is absolutely DEPRESSING. Several others are too. Handle with care …
