10 famous scenes of world cinema that excite the male imagination

It is not at all easy for the creators of a modern film product to surprise the viewer with the presence of erotic scenes in the film. However, this was not always the case.

Even 30-40 years ago, such episodes could cause a flurry of criticism from conservative sections of society and could even cast doubt on the release of the film in wide distribution.

However, the directors still used their talent and sense of beauty to show the beauty of the female body, so to speak, in all its glory, for which the representatives of the stronger sex, who are here as spectators, are very grateful to them.

Here are 10 of the best scenes in world cinema that make the male imagination work with increased power.

10 The incendiary dance of the black-eyed Esmeralda (Gina Lollobrigida) (“Notre Dame Cathedral”, 1956)

When this stunning Italian with an incredibly thin waist and beautiful brown eyes played the tragic role of Esmeralda in the film adaptation of the immortal novel by Victor Hugo, all the men of the planet fell in love with her.

The hot gypsy dance on the square has become one of the most recognizable scenes in world cinema. The tight-fitting red dress emphasized all the charms of the actress, the morning sun reflected in her pitch-black hair, and her smooth graceful movements drove not only the main characters of the picture crazy, but also millions of viewers around the world.

9. Striptease by Sophia Loren (“Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”, 1963)

The Oscar-winning film directed by De Sica was considered incredibly frank for its time. Here, the brilliant Sophia Loren, together with her partner in the frame – Marcello Mastroianni, embodied 3 vivid images in three short stories.

In one of them, the actress played the role of the prostitute Mary, seducing the hero Mastroianni. The breathtaking sexuality of the sultry Italian, who by that time was the first in the history of cinema to perform a striptease in the frame, allowed her to secure the right to be called a sex symbol of all times and peoples for many years.

8. Lying in bed naked Bridget Bordeaux (“And God Created Woman”, 1956)

Bridget herself, in a conversation with reporters, claimed that she did not have more successful filming than in the film “And God Created Woman” at that time.

In this film, the actress embodied on the screen an interesting, rather contradictory and sensual image of a girl suffering from her natural sexuality and from the slander of the people around her.

Immediately after the premiere of the picture, a flurry of criticism rained down on the actress who played the main role in the picture. Including due to the presence in the film of many provocative moments, one of which is the scene where Bordeaux lies completely naked in bed.

Many community organizations, including the League of Decency, the Salvation Army and the Society of Virtuous Catholics, opposed the screening of the film. However, despite this, the popularity of the picture was boundless, and Bridget Bordeaux became the sex symbol of a whole generation.

7. The moment the wind lifted Marilyn Monroe’s dress (Seven Years of Wish, 1955)

Hollywood actress, singer and sex idol Marilyn Monroe wore a white dress in the 1955 film Seven Years of Desire. This iconic dress was designed by renowned fashion designer William Travilla.

Thanks to this scene, a spectacular blonde, who, smiling ingenuously, trying to keep her hem up, has become one of the iconic images of the twentieth century.

6. The Appearance of Dracula’s Sexy Brides (Monica Belucci, Mikaela Bercu and Florina Kendrick) (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, 1992)

These three incredibly charming and no less dangerous beauties have unwittingly become an erotic fantasy for a huge number of men. Moreover, even huge fangs could not make their images less attractive to the stronger sex.

5. Spectacular dance of a young sexy vampire (Salma Hayek) (“From Dusk Till Dawn”, 1996)

One of the most memorable scenes of the film “From Dusk Till Dawn” was the sexy and seductive dance of the young Salma Hayek, then still taking her first steps in big cinema. This episode at one time did not leave indifferent any viewer.

The small role (almost without words) of the vampire queen, who, after performing a bewitching dance with a boa constrictor, pounces on the hero Quentin Tarantino and bites her neck with a frenzy, made Salma really popular.

The girl masterfully coped with her task, despite the fact that in real life she is very afraid of snakes.

Largely due to this episode, “From Dusk Till Dawn” is considered one of the greatest feature films of the 90s in this style, and the dance itself became the basis for emulation in many striptease shows.

4. Cutie Nancy (Jessica Alba) dancing in leather lingerie and with a lasso (Sin City, 2005)

Even in the gloomy and “impregnated” city of sins through and through with human vices, if you know where to turn, you can come to a haunted place where graceful beauties like Jessica Alba perform an erotic dance.

The role of the young and seductive stripper Nancy has become a landmark for her performer. And the famous striptease, which drove the bar visitors crazy, did not leave millions of spectators indifferent.

3. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) walking around in microknickers on a space shuttle (Alien, 1979)

In Alien, Sigourney Weaver played her most iconic role. And even if the filmmakers wanted to make the image of Ripley as masculine as possible, devoid of any lyrics, they still could not help but demonstrate to the audience the toned figure of the main character.

In the absence of flashy makeup, long hair and enticing underwear, the actress still managed to charm the male half of the audience, flaunting around the space station in only flesh-colored panties, merging with her skin color.

2. The Seductive Dance of Kim Basinger (Nine and a Half Weeks, 1986)

Divorced and insecure gallery owner Elizabeth, played by the brilliant Kim Basinger, and devilishly charming investor John Gray, portrayed on screen by Mickey Rourke, are the main characters in the film Nine and a Half Weeks, woven from the most popular erotic symbols of the time.

Ice cubes sliding over Kim’s belly, passionate sex in the rain and, of course, the playful and frank dance of the main character to the song You Can Leave Your Hat On became the key details of the plot of the picture.

This striptease excited and stimulated all sorts of erotic fantasies of men of various taste preferences. And Kim Basinger, after this role, began to bear the title of the most sensual sex symbol of the late 80s.

1. Killer Writer Interrogation Scene (Sharon Stone) (Basic Instinct, 1992)

A quarter of a century ago, an erotic thriller was released on the screens, which was later destined to become a classic of this genre – “Basic Instinct”.

From the very beginning of the release, the film began to be called scandalous and even revolutionary, because before Paul Verhoeven, none of the masters of Hollywood dared to shoot close-up erotic scenes – then it was considered the prerogative of category B films.

But, despite this, “Basic Instinct” was shown in all cinemas in the country. Moreover, the picture became one of the most profitable by that time.

The episode, which shows the interrogation of the nymphomaniac writer and murderer, whose image on the screen was brilliantly embodied by Sharon Stone, has truly become a cult.

The scene where she slowly crosses her legs, thereby exposing her intimate zones to the dumbfounded law enforcement officers, has become the object of many variations and outright parodies. Thanks to the work in this picture, Sharon Stone began to be considered the main female vamp in Hollywood.
