'Out of Sight' Tops List of Sexiest Movies

You can tell I took a cross-country flight this weekend by my use of this phrase: "So I read a copy of Entertainment Weekly the other day..."

I mean, sure, I'll pick it up from time to time, but to read it cover to cover (minus the inane letters) is not something I like to do. I'd rather read the SkyMall catalog. But someone had left it on the plane, and the cover was pretty intriguing: The 50 Sexiest Movies Ever. Now that's saying a lot.

I won't recap the entire list, because like all lists, this is entirely subjective, and because they couldn't think of four movies sexier than #47, Kissing Jessica Stein. But here are the top ten, and I have to say, that number one pick is not too far off.

1 - Out of Sight (Clooney, J-Lo, the trunk, the tub)

2 - His Girl Friday
3 - Mr. and Mrs. Smith
4 - Body Heat
5 - Bull Durham
6 - Don't Look Now
7 - Y Tu Mama Tambien
8 - Jakob the Liar (OK, not really...it was Last of the Mohicans)
9 - A Walk on the Moon
10- Before Sunset

See, that's the problem with lists. I've seen His Girl Friday, and it's a nice piece of work, but is it sexier than Body Heat? Or even another great Cary Grant flick, North by Northwest, with its breathless train scenes? It's probably not worth debating, but I think it's an interesting subject to explore. Out of Sight is a very sexy movie, as those things go, but they might have Unfaithful (#27) and Swimming Pool (#18) a little low.

Good grief. It's as though the 1930s and 1940s just...never happened!
