Though, the movie was forgettable, here’s a pic of her in Monkeybone. Just goes to show that whatever chromosome causes the catgirl craze is thankfully missing from my genome. ---

[QUOTE=fetus] Wait, what? Which one is this? [/QUOTE] Elizabeth Berkeley in Showgirls. Definitely worth watching (for the trainwreck factor/unintentional humor), but not necessarily because it’s erotic. Actually, it does have Gina Gershon in it – also naked – so it does have some pretty hot moments. ---

I keep watching **Chuck** on NBC in hopes of seeing Adam Baldwin, whose character they are totally wasting. ---

[QUOTE=Kythereia] I’m going to see _Hitman_ today solely because of Timothy Olyphant and Henry Ian Cusick. No shame in being shallow. 😉 [/QUOTE] Huh you think YOU’RE shallow ! Why I’m …oh look theres a butterfly ! ---

Didn’t go to the theatre, but I did subject myself to STRIPTEASE on video. Demi Moore topless was not worth the agony. ---

I’m going to throw **Weeds** on my Netflix queue just for _Mary Louise Parker_. ---

I own _Swordfish_ on DVD. Halle Berry is topless for no apparent reason. That’s worth $7.50 at Walmart if anything is. ---

Only reason I went and saw 300. That and the thousands of other half-naked men in it. ---

I haven’t seen Hitman yet, but when I do, Olyphant will be the only reason. ---

I’ve watched almost every Bridget Fonda movie for that reason. ditto for Grace Kelly. ---

The Talented Mr. Ripley. Turned out to be a decent film as I recall though. The scene with Jude Law in the bathtub chatting and (I think) playing chess with Matt Damon was just all kinds of hot. ---

_The Seeker; the Dark is Rising_ for Chris Eccleston. Expected it to be all kinds of awful, and it turned out to be pretty good! I also sat through _Gone in 60 Seconds_ (on cable) for the same reason. Expected it to be all kinds of awful, and man, it did not disappoint. Eccleston was hot though. ---

I suffered through _In the Cut_ and _Rumor Has It_ for my boyfriend Mark Ruffalo. The latter wasn’t as terrible as everyone said it was, but the former was just a big pile o’ crud. ---

The deep plot and rich characterizations of **Stealth** were their own reward. ---

Definitely not go to the theater, but maybe rent, and probably watch on TV if it’s not too horrible and I’m in the mood for some eye candy. That’s how I watched _A Knight’s Tale_. I stumbled on it while channel surfing. Horrible. But then I thought, “Ooh, sweaty Heath Ledger.” I watched it. ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] The Talented Mr. Ripley. Turned out to be a decent film as I recall though. The scene with Jude Law in the bathtub chatting and (I think) playing chess with Matt Damon was just all kinds of hot. [/QUOTE] Exactly what I came into this thread to post. I had just seen a Hollywood awards ceremony photo session, and got a gander at Mr. Law, and on the same day read about how he had once been voted “World’s Sexiest Man”. It seemed, therefore, a good idea to rent this DVD. You’re right, not only was this scene very hot, but it was a good movie to boot. Kind of Hitchcockian. ---

Yes, way back whenever, I saw _Showgirls_ at the theater **because** it was supposedly so awful and soft-pornish. Never has a movie so precisely been so exactly what the critics said. ---

Watched The Birdcage remake because of Robin Williams. ☹ That was so not worth the rental money. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-go-see-a-movie-just-because-of-a-hot-cast-member/427538.md?page=2)
