  • Being teased

    The sexy part in life, and films, is the intersection of fact and fiction.
  • The knife thrower

    Daniel Auteuil saves Vanessa Paradis, and then there is the intimacy of not quite piercing her, in "Girl on the Bridge."

  • A funny valentine

    Chet Baker and Dickie Greenleaf make Tom Ripley fall in love.

  • Tiger, Tiger, burning bright

    Mr. Woods is magnificent as he overpowers all opponents.

    "Gone in 60 Seconds" is almost worth seeing, if just for Jolie's ghostly sexuality.
  • Three women

    In "Croupier" the most seductive female character is the least perfect.
  • "In Nevada" by David Thomson, "24/7" by Andris Martinez and "Double Down" by Frederick and Steven Barthelme
