When Harry Met Sally: One of my favourite movies of all time. A classic romantic comedy about the relationship between men and women and why it's hard for them to be "just friends". Meg Ryan (the queen of romantic comedies) and Billy Crystal star with Rob Reiner directing. One of the funniest scenes is when Meg's character fakes an orgasm just to prove a point, in a diner no less. Rob Reiner's mom has one of the best lines in the movie but I don't want to give it away if you haven't seen it yet. It's a great relationship movie that guys will enjoy too.
True Lies: Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis who plays the wife of Arnold who is a spy, unbeknownst to her. It has one of the funniest and sexiest striptease (and sort of pole dance) scene by Jamie. Jamie goes undercover as an escort and needs to dance for an enemy contact that turns out to be, well.....I don't want to give too much away. Just watch it!
Rock Star: Starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. Mark plays a wannabe rock star that ends up replacing a real life rock star that can't fulfill his touring commitment. A story about what can happen when a person is thrown into a life of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll and isn't ready for it. Funny and sexy.
Charlie's Angels, Full Throttle: Now, I know what you may be thinking. Charlie's Angels, really? Yes, well, I was hesitant to watch either of the Charlie's Angels movies (even though, I'm almost reluctant to admit it here, I was an original Charlie's Angels fan when it was on TV). But the Burlesque scene with the Angels is worth the whole movie. It's sexy and energetic and I laughed out loud at times because it was so much fun to watch. It made me remember how fun it is to get all dressed up, sexy and girly like, and want to bust a move right then and there. It's fairly true to the TV series in the sense that it's over the top with loads of sex appeal, sexy fashion and ass kicking action. And of course, we can't forget the slow motion sexy hair flipping thing they do! What a hoot!
Laurel Canyon: Another movie about sex, drugs and rock 'n roll starring Frances McDormand who plays a weed smoking music producer with a younger musician boyfriend. Her son is a straight laced guy in a relationship with a girl who is a little naive and uptight. They both end up living temporarily with his mother. His girlfriend begins to become intrigued by his mother's lifestyle and the couple begins to get a little lost along the way. Christian Bale and Kate Beckinsdale also star.
Fatal Attraction: One of the best movies of the 80s about a married man (played by Michael Douglas who makes the mistake of having an affair with a "loose cannon" of a woman (played by Glenn Close). In my opinion, this is one of Glenn's best performances. It's a real, raw, heart wrenching, sad, frightening and honest portrayal of an unstable woman scorned. She was nominated for an Oscar for this role, although I feel she should have won over Cher in Moonstruck. Fatal Attraction has some of the hottest sex scenes in it including one in an elevator and on a kitchen counter top.
In the Cut: Meg Ryan in a role unlike any movie she's done. She plays a woman whose roommate is murdered and ends up being attracted to and having an affair with the man investigating the case. This is a departure and a surprisingly edgier role for Meg and I loved it. It's a dark psychological thriller with some hot scenes in it as well. I swear that woman was really......well, nevermind. Check it out for yourself.

City of Angels: The story about a doctor played by Meg Ryan who begins to have a crisis of faith when her first patient dies on the operating table. An angel, played by Nicolas Cage, has been watching Meg and is intrigued and eventually falls in love with her. A beautiful love story with some sensual scenes, but it makes me really wonder who is watching, how much and how often. Yikes!
Mulholland Drive: A David Lynch movie. What can I say about David Lynch? Well, if you don't ever want to try acid, then watch a David Lynch movie and it will have the same effect. No, that's not an insult. I enjoy David's movies because he's different and "out there". You don't really know what you are going to get and how it's going to end. His movies will have you questioning what is real and what isn't. Most movies nowadays are formula, predictable, typical and boring. This movie will leave you scratching your head. Some sexy scenes and very well done. Naomi Watts is great here as a wannabe actress just arriving in Hollywood. Or is she???
Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I had fun putting it together. Until next time. M
