When she's approached one day by a handsome stranger while trying to hail a taxi, she becomes obsessed with him and eventually starts an affair. But her selfish actions soon catch up with her... Comments: Terrific film. Diane Lane is a force of nature! My wife and I saw this and both thought that it was one of the best films of 2002. Diane Lane (who got a Best Actress Oscar nomination for this amazing performance) gives another great performance as Connie Sumner. This is a very powerful and realistic look at life and all it's complications. Great story and acting all help support Diane Lane in this unforgettable classy film. 10 stars! Scene Description: Diane Lane sitting on a bed as a guy unhooks her bra from behind and then cups and squeezes her nice breasts with his hands. ..Movie Stills Scene Description: Diane Lane giving us a few nice views of her lovely breasts while she sits in a bathtub, and then seen nude from behind as she climbs out and puts on a bath robe. ..Movie Stills Walk on the Moon, A (1999) Title: Walk on the Moon, A Released: 1999 Genre: Romance / Drama Runtime: 105 min Country: USA Language: English Plot Summary: Summer, 1969: men on the moon, and Woodstock happening near the cabin where the Kantrowitz family stays every summer. The camp's a Jewish fish-bowl. Marty's there weekends; he repairs TVs in Brooklyn. He's square and decent. His wife Pearl and his mother camp with Alison (she's 14) and their younger son. Pearl got pregnant at 17 and feels she missed her youth. While Alison experiences her first date, first kiss, first period, and stealing off to Woodstock with the lifeguard, Pearl has her own sexual awakening with "the blouse man," a peddler who sells at the camp. They too go to Woodstock. Marty confronts Pearl about the affair; she and he have to decide what to do next. Comments: A WALK ON THE MOON is a beautifully artistic film that meticulously recreates the look and feel of the summer of 1969. If you are old enough to remember that historic summer, I think you'll identify with the societal mood and personal conflicts presented. This film recreates an important moment in time for American society and helps us remember how we grew up as individuals and as a culture. The film is well acted and directed although I thought Tovah Feldshuh was miscast as the grandmother because she was too young. The art direction and set decoration is superb and you can practically smell the air in the Catskills! Scene Description: Diane Lane having sex with a guy underneath a waterfall, and giving us a couple nice views of her breasts in the process. ..Movie Stills Big Town, The (1987) Buy this film on VHS Title: Big Town, The Released: 1987 Genre: Drama / Romance / Thriller Runtime: 109 min Country: USA Language: English Tagline: Lady luck is always on his side. Tonight, she's on fire. Plot Summary: It is 1957. J.C. Cullen is a young man from a small town, with a talent for winning at craps, who leaves for the big city to work as a professional gambler. While there, he breaks the bank at a private craps game at the Gem Club, owned by George Cole, and falls in love with two women, one of them Cole's wife. Infuriated, Cole wagers everything on the craps table, including the Gem Club itself, and he and Cullen have it out. Comments: What a surprisingly good movie this one turned out to be. This is the type of film that I've been looking for ages. Particularly important for me was the fantastic-looking Chicago, which I still keep thinking about. The back cover doesn't do this film justice, it's superb, and in my top-5 for sure. Scene Description: Diane Lane topless in a love scene. ..Movie Stills Available to buy:  The Big Town (VHS) Vital Signs (1990) Title: Vital Signs Released: 1990 Genre: Drama Runtime: 103 min Country: USA Language: English Tagline: During one incredible year, seven friends discover that love is alive and living in the 90's. Comments: Although some scenes are over-dramatized, the film, as a whole, accurately depicts the cut-throat competition in medical school, as opposed to another critic's opinion that it was less accurate than the movie, Gross Anatomy, which in my opinion, was the furthest away from reality. Some scenes in Vital Signs imply that medical school students in their third year (the first year out of the classroom) have more authority and autonomy than what is true in reality. But the film shows the human side of medicine and that medicine isn't an exact science. Physicians can practice and study for years and still not completely understand the human body. Again, I found this film to be a realistic portrayal of medical school. In fact, I have this film on tape and watch it from time to time to motivate me in my medical career. I would recommend this movie to anyone in the medical field, especially students thinking about medical school. Scene Description: Diane Lane having her bra removed by a guy to reveal her breasts, and then wrapping her legs around him to have sex with him standing up. ..Movie Stills Cotton Club, The (1984) Buy this film on DVD Buy this film on VHS Title: Cotton Club, The Released: 1984 Genre: Crime / Music Runtime: 127 min Country: USA Language: English Tagline: Where crime lords rub elbows with the rich and famous! Plot Summary: The Cotton Club was a famous night club in Harlem. The story follows the people that visited the club, those that ran it, and is peppered with the Jazz music that made it so famous. Comments: This is one of THE BEST movies ever!!!! I've seen it again tonight for the....teenth time andjust can't stop the shivers it sends down my spine every time I watch it.... It is so saturated with PASSION and tragedy, and yet comes to a happy end! The characters in it are somewhat schematic, but that's just what the director needed to do to depict the 20s-30s ERA.... Pure magic created by great actors Diane Lane and Richard Gere, and others won't leave anybody indifferent! What a great show! ..Movie Stills Available to buy:  The Cotton Club (DVD)  The Cotton Club (VHS)  The Cotton Club: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] (Audio CD)  The Cotton Club (St. Martin's Original Screenplay Series) -- by Francis Ford Coppola, William J.

Plot Summary: A chess grandmaster is in a big tournament, and when his lover is found painted up and the blood drained out of her body he becomes a chief suspect. After he gets a call from the killer urging him to try and figure out the game, he cooperates with police and a psychologist to try and catch the killer, but doubts linger about the grandmaster's innocence as the string of grisly murders continues. Comments: This film is an outstanding and extremely well written dark, disturbing murder thriller. I was amazed not expecting it to be this good! It does remind me a lot of the early 1970's Dario Argento films with it's black gloved razor blade clutching killer, oddball characters and film style. Set on an isolated island off the coast of British Columbia during a world chess championship, the killer is murdering the locals leaving scrawled blood drenched clues above their beds as he murders by chess moves. Christopher Lambert is one of the eccentric chess players drawn into the mystery who may(or may not)himself be the culprit. The clues in this movie stand up for any mystery lover and it was fun to try to solve the riddles presented and figure out who-dun-it. This is definately Lambert's best film role as he delivers a feverish performance. Last 20 minutes you will be on the edge of your seat as the film rushes to it's chilling and VERY exciting finale. The final camera "flash" shot (see the film then you will know what I am referring too) and last line spoken was a brilliant way to end this really great mystery thriller. This film was only fairly received upon it's initial release and most people have never even heard of it. I recommend this movie very highly for those who like an intelligent mystery that relies on mood, stylish directing and a well written script. 10/10 this movie blew me away! Scene Description: Diane Lane straddling a guy and removing her top so that he can kiss her bare breasts during a sex scene. ..Movie Stills Available to buy:  Knight Moves (DVD)  Knight Moves (VHS) Chaplin (1992) Buy this film on DVD Buy this film on VHS Title: Chaplin Released: 1992 Genre: Drama Runtime: 143 min Country: UK / USA / France / Italy Language: English Tagline: Everyone has a wild side. Even a legend. Plot Summary: The biography of Charlie Chaplin, filmmaker extraordinaire. From his formitive years in England to his highest successes in America, Charlie's life, work, and loves are followed.

Comments: This movie was a titillating movie. It heightened your senses and was very erotic in a sensory way. It definitely has a feeling of the day and age that it was filmed in, but it was perfect for the dark side that it shows of human nature.

She ended up doing the film. Personal quotes "There's a persona to being an actress.... That could put anyone into the shrink's office. Especially if you're fifteen, sixteen, eighteen years old going through that; realizing that the job is to have a persona." "The only phone call I really yearn to make is one I can't, which is to say" 'Guess what, Dad?'." - Diane Lane talking about her Oscar nomination (her father Burt Lane (who managed her early career) passed away February 2002)." "Even the short men I know appreciate a woman in heels." "That was something they hung on me like a Christmas ornament. When I really young yet feeling very old, I offered up a lot of myself to the press; I knew it was good copy. And I knew I had a perspective on the business and my individuality that I wasn't entitled to have. But I came out of that fine because it was just a phase." "For all of us, I think, when we read the script, the betrayal of trust was the greater crime. That's what everyone identified with, that question of: When are you ever safe?" [on Unfaithful]" "I don't think it was quite so blantant that people could buy a career." "Publicist, manager, attorney, assitant, hairdresser, agent, who are you screwing...Thank God I started at an earlier time." "The script describes our relationship as basically public foreplay..." "I don't know why I love this movie so much. I don't go to sea, so I'm probably the only one who'll have a glowing report about it because I don't get wet."
