from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, screenplay by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. Not sure there is any scene that Jessica Rabbit is in that is not a seduction scene! She can't help it, she's just drawn that way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAnNvnViJpo

Ninotchka (1939) Writers: Melchior Lengyel, Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder, Walter Reisch http://movieclips.com/PLZY-ninotchka-movie-midnight-in-paris/ More and more puzzled and fascinated, Leon sits down close to her. LEON What kind of a girl are you, anyway? NINOTCHKA Just what you see. A tiny cog in the great wheel of evolution. LEON You're the most adorable cog I ever saw in my life. Ninotchka, Cogitska, let me confess something. Never did I dream I could feel like this toward a sergeant. A clock strikes. LEON Do you hear that? NINOTCHKA It's twelve o'clock. LEON It's midnight. One half of Paris is making love to the other half. Look at the clock. One hand has met the other hand. They kiss. Isn't that wonderful? NINOTCHKA That's the way a clock works. There's nothing wonderful about it. You merely feel you must put yourself in a romantic mood to add to your exhilaration. LEON I can't possibly think of a better reason. NINOTCHKA It's false sentimentality. LEON (trying desperately to make her mood more romantic) You analyze everything out of existence. You analyze me out of existence. I won't let you. Love is not so simple. Ninotchka, Ninotchka, why do doves bill and coo? Why do snails, coldest of all creatures, circle interminably around each other? Why do moths fly hundreds of miles to find their mates? Why do flowers open their petals? Oh, Ninotchka, Ninotchka, surely you feel some slight symptom of the divine passion... a general warmth in the palms of your hands... a strange heaviness in your limbs... a burning of the lips that is not thirst but a thousand times more tantalizing, more exalting, than thirst? He pauses, waiting for the results of his speech. NINOTCHKA You are very talkative. That is too much for Leon. He takes her into his arms and kisses her. LEON Was that talkative? NINOTCHKA No, that was restful. Again. Leon kisses her again. NINOTCHKA Thank you. LEON Oh, my barbaric Ninotchka. My impossible, unromantic, statistical... Ninotchka pushes him onto his back, kisses him. LEON: Again. TRIVIA: Ernst Lubitsch disliked Gottfried Reinhardt and S.N. Behrman's original screenplay, so he commissioned a rewrite from Billy Wilder, Charles Brackett and Walter Reisch. Lubitsch himself made some significant uncredited contributions to the screenplay. The tagline "Garbo laughs!" came before the screenplay was written; the film was built around that single, now legendary, slogan.

"To Have or Have Not" SLIM: You know, Steve... you're not very hard to figure. Only at times. Sometimes I know exactly what you're going to say. Most of the time. The other times... The other times you're just a stinker. STEVE: What did you do that for? SLIM: I've been wondering whether I'd like it. STEVE: What's the decision? SLIM: I don't know yet. It's even better when you help. Sure you won't change your mind about this? This belongs to me, and so do my lips. I don't see any difference. STEVE: I do. SLIM: Okay. You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow. ------- SCREENPLAY BY Jules Furthman and William Faulkner; BASED UPON THE NOVEL BY Ernest Hemingway DIRECTED BY Howard Hawks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY15R3yHBEI

DAYDREAM NATION CAROLINE WEXLER: My mom once told me that if you ever want to make a man happy... flatter his vanity. Tell him he's handsome. She said not to bother calling him interesting or clever, because that's what their bosses and colleagues are for. But every man carries a secret dream of being handsome, and desperately yearns to be recognized as such. This is the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZB1iAXqPdE I gotta say this movie is pretty terrible. It doesn't follow through on its promises. The moment a teacher, an apparently good teacher, lets a student into his home, we may begin to think that something is not quite right with this guy. Later, when we hear what's in his book, that thought gathers evidence. However, the movie never follows through with this promise. I think that was a cowardly move. And this little bit of dialogue (among many) cements the notion of Caroline Wexler being an MPDG - the main character for sure (as she is quick to point out later in the movie), but still a woman reduced to her sexual function.
