Most erotic scenes in regular film and television?

[Penguin250k]

Something I've been thinking about lately, and I'd be interested in the views of others:

What are, in your opinion, the most erotic scenes in regular film and TV shows, (e.g. not in pornography)?

For the purpose of answering this one you may cross the vintage/modern divide; to qualify as "not pornography" the film/TV programme must meet ALL of the following criteria:

1) If a feature film/movie, must have received a certificate permitting general release in its country of origin; that is to say no R18's or Refusals (British), no NC-17's (American) and so forth. If a TV show must have aired for the first time on a channel that is not in the "adult" section of any aerial, cable or satellite service.

2) Cannot be a film or television programme about sex (e.g. sex and nothing else is the primary plot driver). For films that would rule out (e.g). Emanuelle, Story of O, Confessions of an [insert tradesman here], 50 Shades of Sh*te, 9 Songs, etc. For television programmes that rules out documentaries about pornography or wider sex industry or about any of the above films. Also sex education programmes are disbarred.

3) Irrespective of central plot device, cannot be an obvious "sexploitation" film or TV Programme. As such most films by Jess Franco, Jean Rollin and similar are disbarred. In television cannot be (e.g.) Topless Darts or similar.

My own personal selection (in no order) is:

Vintage:
Walkabout - The Lake Scene (Jenny Agutter)

The Cement Garden - The final scene (Charlotte Gainsbourg)

Betty Blue/37.2 Le Matin - The opening scene (Beatrice Dalle) - possibly the best simulated sex scene ever to be put on film.

Barbarella - The "organ" scene (Jane Fonda) - although this film is borderline sexploitation.

Close My Eyes - First Sex Scene (Saskia Reeves) - she was just so beautiful in that.

Modern:
Toast of London Series 1 Episode 7 "Bonus Ball" - The Stage Scene (Rikke Leigh); a beautiful naked woman in the very unlikely scenario for such of a Channel 4 Sitcom.

Cashback - The "frozen time" scene (Various) - just beautiful.

So, those are mine, what are yours?

Luciana Paluzzi in a lousy spy movie with Robert Vaughn called "The Venetian Affair." There's a scene in her bedroom, where she asks Vaughn to unzip her dress, which is already very lowcut, and the camera cuts away as the dress is about to hit the floor. She was also very hot in "Thunderball" of course, when Connery interrupts her while she's taking a bath.

Senta Berger was another fave, and she is especially sexy in the silly Dean Martin film, "The Ambushers." She's in Dean's bedroom in a sexy blue nightgown, and she pretends to seduce him while she's actually trying to slip him a knockout pill. She also has a very hot scene with George Segal in "The Quiller Memorandum."

Ursula Andress and George Peppard in "The Blue Max" have a very hot scene where she has a couple of strategically placed towels. She also does some sexy underwear stuff in "What's New Pussycat" with Peter O'Toole.

Estella Warren does some very sexy stuff in "Her Minor Thing."

Great idea for a thread, and it made me think of a couple of scenes from the 1980s.

In King Frat (a sort of low-rent version of National Lampoon's Animal House, but still with some good bits) there's a scene where a guy in a gorilla costume has a hot girl straddling him in the back of an ambulance. I can't for the life of me remember why! But at one point she says 'you've got an erection!' and before you know it, they're at it. I remember it turning me on a lot as a teenager, but I'd probably find it silly now!

In The Mausoleum (horror flick, God I watched some rubbish as a teenager!) Bobbie Bresee was possessed by a demon, which made her act out a sex scene on a psychiatrist's couch. Her moans and gasps were pretty hot!

The scene I like best is not the iconic skirt lift but when she opened the trap door and walked down the stairs into the apartment.

The Last Picture Show (1971)

Cybill Shepherd standing on a diving-board strips naked and dives into the pool.

I know someone whose heart was pounding when he saw it.

The film and the scene were famous at the time. The cast was invited to a reception at the White House. The director, Peter Bogdanovich, has said in an interview that Cybill Shepherd was introduced to the President, Richard Nixon, as "the actress in the famous swimming-pool scene". After that, Nixon carefully avoided being close to her for the rest of the evening.

Anyone care to admit having a copy of the Bare Facts Video Guide by Craig Hosoda. He listed most film scenes where an actress was topless or naked. It listed by actress and also by film. There was a time of scene listed as well.

A scene set in an attic (I think) in a BBC series in which Amanda Holden and some man or other were starting to 'get it on'. They are stood up and He's behind her kissing her neck and has one hand in on a tit and the other slides down the front (but on the outisde) of her tight leggings/trousers and He touches the top/front part of her crotch. I presume his willy was rubbing agianst her bum.
