Just for fun, nothing explicit please.

The film "Witness" is powerful because it's so emotionally tense - full of conflicting feelings.
The scene where John Book is repairing his car in the barn and it leads to him dancing with Rachel is both sexually very tense and also warm and kind. Not even a kiss.

I was going to post a link but realised it really needs to be seen in context to read so powerfully.

Some of these highly charged moments need the "backstory" and emotional build up to be truly powerful. It's often the things around them that give them meaning.

On a different note I do so love the barn-raising music in that same film.
I'll post a link to that I think.

I also found Alan Rickman incredibly sexy .
And so is Bill Nighy .

There's a queue, Esmay.
And I'm at the front😉

Colin Firth’s Darcy, emerging from the lake does nothing really for me to be honest. 🤷‍♀️

No you're not. I said Alan Rickman first!

Not many of you will have seen this, but for me it was Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn in Marguerite and Armand.

I always thought I was odd thinking Alan Rickman was dead sexy - he's not exactly good looking as such. Now I realise I'm just a bit actor in the crowd 😪

Agree totally with Daniel Day Lewis and Madeleine Stowe - one of my favourite films. I could watch it over and over just for the scenery and music.

Oh, Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis - the scene in Witness in the shed with the old car. Nothing happened, but the tension between the characters - Wow!

Also, I was standing on the platform at a railway station years ago. There was a man standing next to me - tall, dark-haired - with his sleeves rolled up his arm. And it was the sight of his bare forearm which made me feel all hot and bothered. Just a forearm - never forgotten it.

Oh, I've just read your post NotSpaghetti - so you got the Witness scene, too? Great, wasn't it.

No you're not. I said Alan Rickman first!

I beat you by 30 minutes Aveline, yesterday 20.08.🤣
The Alan Rickman queue is very serious!

Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, Brief Encounter.
Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep, The Bridges of Madison County.
Unforgettable.

Dammit Granmarie. Well I'm second in the queue then.

Omar Sharif in Doctor Zhivago ..or Robert Redford in his white uniform ,half asleep at the bar in The Way We Were .Neither is mt "type" in real life but certainly made my hormones jump .lol

Clint Eastwood standing in the rain in The Bridges of Madison County when his love affair is over.... but context is needed.

Sorry, Aldom I see you've just mentioned Clint too.

Patrick Swayze dirty dancing 🕺 (lower case letters on purpose!)

Robert Redford in "Out of Africa and Brad Pit in 'A River Runs Through It" when he does the tango with an Indian girl.
I agree with a lot that has been mentioned. a wet Colin Firth will always be Mr Darcy.

Oh yes MerylStreep, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway in that chess scene.... And also anything with David Hemmings or Alan Rickman in it.
I have Sir Ranulph Fiennes' autobiography, and wow, the photos of him when he was a dashing young Army Officer - I go weak at the knees just looking at them...

Aidan Turner for me in Poldark when he was in the bath tub and Demelza was sponging his back 🛁

Alan Rickman no not really but he was so good as the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Warren Beatty in Shampoo was pretty special. 😍

Then of course the moment when he exchanged that last look of love with Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde just before they were drilled with bullets.

Rufus Sewell - just that really.

Another vote for Colin Firth in his soaking shirt in Pride and Prejudice - be still my beating heart!

Richard Gere Debra Winger last scene in an Officer and a Gentleman when he Carrie’s her off the factory floor.

Glad you decided not to leave Wethertomorrow definitely didn’t come across as a dirty old woman to me!! Sometimes hard to have a lighthearted thread with some posters

Rufus Sewell - just that really.

Ooh yes! Lord M.
