movie scenes - how about the original version of the Thomas Crown Affiar, when Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen are dressed to kill, totally "smitten" with each other (it plays a little less sweet than that

), and they play this INTENSE game of chess? Compare that to the remake with Brosnan's bare buttocks and the rather graphic sex scene... I think the original is MUCH more intense.
(okay admitting to full geekness with this one

) the hallway scene in the X Files movie. Darn bee!
The celebration/music/dancing part in Chocolat is also wonderful
A Room With a View, sigh, what a wonderful choice! Young Mr. Emmerson striding across the field, Miss Lucy Honeychurch standing there in the tall grass, just waiting for him to kiss her... great stuff!
Music: Miles Davis best of the blue note, Dave Matthews Band Before these crowded streets, and Charles Mingus ah um, are my three most inspiring albums
Books - great call on Frog Pajamas- that guy is wonderful! Tom Robbins in general writes some amazing stuff, plenty of it is highly sexual in the most unusual ways. The Anne Rice vampire books are very, very sensual in a wicked, Vampire way.
