#4 Basic Instinct: Groin pleaser

Director: Paul Verhoeven
Genre: Erotic thriller
Key Players: Sharon Stone, Stone's beaver, Michael Douglas, Newman

The only thing (and I put a lot of emphasis on the word Only) people seem to remember (or perhaps, the only thing people want to remember) from Paul Verhoeven's erotic thriller Basic Instinct, is the classic shifting of the legs and consequential exposure of Sharon Stone's more private area. It's a decent film but without that specific moment, I suspect Basic Instinct would be considered just another semi-erotic Shannon Tweed-type thriller, really not worth the attention.

#2 Team America - Three kinds of people

Director: Trey Parker
Genre: Comedy/Puppets
Key Players: Gary Johnston (Trey Parker - voice)

A saddend Gary Johnston seeks comfort in a bar when he's approached by a bearded drunk delivering one of those classic Trey Parker/Matt Stone over-the-top disgusting slash amazing trademark speeches they have come to master: a blend of extreme cursing and weird (but wonderful) logic. The scene ends climatically with a fountain of barf worthy an Oscar for something.
