My tribute to my favorite femmes fatales in cinema (70 FILMS, EDITED IN 2008). MUSIC (in order of appearance): - "Minnie the Moocher" by the Blues Brothers, - "Nature boy" by Miles Davis, - "Baby did a bad bad thing" by Chris Isaak, - Several tracks from the score of "Dangerous Liaisons" by George Fenton, the score of "Basic instinct" by Jerry Goldsmith and the score of "U Turn" by Ennio Morricone, - "Something wicked this way comes" by Barry Adamson. Here you'll see some of the most evil, conniving women in cinema history; some pretty girls that can't tell the difference between right and wrong; a lot of mysterious, cold ladies that have a bad smoking habit; and other dangerous creatures, not necessarily bad, but the kind of woman that can manipulate a man without him realizing. - Brigitte Helm in "Metropolis" (1927) - Marlene Dietrich in "Der blaue engel" (1933) - Mae West in "I'm no angel" (1933) - Mary Astor in "The Maltese Falcon" (1941) - Barbara Stanwyck in "Double indemnity" (1944) - Gene Tierney as "Laura" (1944) - Lauren Bacall in "To have and have not" (1944) - Rita Hayworth as "Gilda" (1946) - Lana Turner in "The postman always rings twice" (1946) - Lauren Bacall in "The big sleep" (1946) - Rita Hayworth in "The Lady from Shanghai" (1947) - Jean Simmons in "Angel face" (1952) - Simone Signoret in "Les diaboliques" (1955) - Kim Novak in "Vertigo" (1958) - Sue Lyon as "Lolita" (1962) - Faye Dunaway in "Chinatown" (1974) - Kathleen Turner in "Body heat" (1981) - Jessica Lange in "The postman always rings twice" (1981) - Nastassja Kinski in "Cat people" (1982) - Sean Young in "Blade Runner" (1982) - Daryl Hannah in "Blade Runner" (1982) - Catherine Deneuve in "The Hunger" (1983) - Anjelica Huston in "Prizzi's Honor" (1985) - Isabella Rossellini in "Blue Velvet" (1986) - Cathy Tyson in "Mona Lisa" (1986) - Theresa Russell in "Black Widow" (1987) - Jamie Lee Curtis in "A fish named Wanda" (1988) - Kathleen Turner in "Who framed Roger Rabbit" (1988) - Glenn Close in "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988) - Alison Doody in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989) - Madonna in "Dick Tracy" (1990) - Marcia Gay Harden in "Miller's Crossing" (1990) - Virginia Madsen in "The hot spot" (1990) - Uma Thurman in "Final analysis" (1992) - Sharon Stone in "Basic instinct" (1992) - Drew Barrymore as "Posion Ivy" (1992) - Mia Kirshner in "Exotica" (1994) - Madeleine Stowe in "China Moon" (1994) - Linda Fiorentino in "The last seduction" (1994) - Nicole Kidman in "To die for" (1995) - Famke Jansen in "Goldeneye" (1995) - Juliette Lewis in "Strange days" (1995) - Jennifer Beals in "Devil in a blue dress" (1995) - Jennifer Tilly in "Bound" (1996) - Patricia Arquette in "The Lost Highway" (1997) - Jennifer López in "U Turn" (1997) - Kim Basinger in "L.A.Confidential" (1997) - Connie Nielsen in "The Devil's advocate" (1997) - Susan Sarandon in "Twilight" (1998) - Embeth Davidtz in "The gingerbread man" (1998) - Helena Bonham Carter in "Fight Club" (1999) - Lena Olin in "The ninth gate" (1999) - Nicole Kidman in "Eyes wide shut" (1999) - Sophie Marceau in "The world is not enough" (1999) - Catherine Keener in "Being John Malkovich" (1999) - Carrie Anne Moss in "Memento" (2000) - Halle Berry in "Swordfish" (2001) - Laura Harring in "Mulholland Dr." (2001) - Jennifer Garner in "Catch me if you can" (2002) - Rebecca Romijn in "Femme Fatale" (2002) - Catherine Zeta Jones in "Intolerable cruelty" (2003) - Ludivine Sagnier in "Swimming Pool" (2003) - Robin Wright in "The singing detective" (2003) - Connie Nielsen in "The ice harvest" (2005) - Scarlett Johansson in "Match Point" (2005) - Nora Zehetner in "Brick" (2005) - Marley Shelton in "Sin City" (2005) - Eva Green in "Casino Royale" (2006) - Cate Blanchett in "The good German" (2006) And these are some movies I really wanted to include but finally discarded for editing reasons (my priority as a video editor is the evolution of the montage to a climax, and these movies, despite being great, couldn't help me get there): The Big Lebowski, Cat people (1942), Johnny Handsome, Leave her to heaven, Mulholland Falls, Munich, The Blue Dahlia, The graduate, The Sting, The Glass Key, The Grifters, Detour, Shattered. Movies I left out on purpose: "Cruel intentions" and De Palma's "Black Dahlia" cause I don't like them; and "Niagara", cause it didn't feel right to mix sweet Marilyn with all these evil ladies.

SONG: "Fever" sung by Madonna. THE HOTTEST ACTORS IN CINEMA HISTORY (edited in 2008), not the most beautiful, but the ones that have been considered sex symbols, the ones that caused an impression in the public by playing certain characters, the ones that kept that image even outside the screen. THIS IS NOT MY PERSONAL LIST, these are not my favorite actors nor the ones I consider sexiest. It is, as a matter of fact, the most UNBIASED list I could have made. I wrote it after checking the lists from specialized publications, magazines, websites, books... And this is the result (the clip I took for each actor is the only personal choice I made): 30.-Clive Owen, from "Sin City" (2005) 29.-Leonardo DiCaprio, from "Romeo + Juliet" (1996) 28.-Hugh Jackman, from "X-Men" (2000) 27.-Jean Paul Belmondo, from "A bout de souffle" (1960) 26.-Pierce Brosnan, from "Goldeneye" (1995) 25.-Jude Law, from "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999) 24.-Antonio Banderas, from "Desperado" (1995) 23.-Mel Gibson, from "The Bounty" (1984) 22.-Tom Cruise, from "Top Gun" (1986) 21.-Gary Cooper, from "Morocco" (1926) 20.-Kevin Costner, from "No way out" (1987) 19.-Russell Crowe, from "Gladiator" (2000) 18.-Rock Hudson, from "Come September" (1961) 17.-Viggo Mortensen, from "The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001) 16.-Alain Delon, from "Plein soleil" (1960) 15.-Harrison Ford, from "Working girl" (1988) 14.-Richard Gere, from "American Gigolo" (1980) 13.-Warren Beatty, from "Bonnie & Clyde" (1967) 12.-Robert Redford, from "The Sting" (1973) 11.-Denzel Washington, from "Devil in a blue dress" (1995) 10.-Steve McQueen, from "Bullit" (1968) 9.-Clark Gable, from "Red dust" (1932) 8.-James Dean, from "Giant" (1956) 7.-George Clooney, from "Out of sight" (1998) 6.-Brad Pitt, from "Thelma & Louise" (1991) 5.-Sean Connery, from "Goldfinger" (1964) 4.-Johnny Depp, from "The man who cried" (2000) 3.-Paul Newman, from "Sweet bird of youth" (1962) 2.-Rudolph Valentino, from "The son of the Sheik" (1926) 1.-Marlon Brando, from "A streetcar named desire" (1951) ACTORS THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE LIST and that would definitely be part of a Top 50: Daniel Craig, Jack Nicholson, Burt Reynolds, Keanu Reeves, Omar Sharif, Jeff Bridges, Dennis Quaid, Christian Bale, Richard Burton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Errol Flynn, Robert Mitchum, Al Pacino, Will Smith, Daniel Day Lewis, Colin Farrell, Eric Bana.
