One of the funniest things my friend
Nick ever said to me was when I once mentioned on the phone that I had just watched Robert Altman's
Nashville. With total commitment he uttered this aside ...and I quote
I want to rub that movie all over me
I guffawed in surprise and then immediately thought "why yes" and then "save some for me". Slather that brilliant political animal and americana panorama all over me, too.
So... (you know where this is going) which movie do
you want to rub all over yourself? Start rubbing in the comments.

Well, Moulin Rouge!, obviously.
Atonement. There is so much worthy of rubbing in that movie, it sort of hurts. And not just James!
Boogie Nights
Mulholland Drive. So much awesome going on in that movie, plus Naomi Watts is my number one girl crush. :-D
Any Wong Kar-Wai film. I could use a little of that sultry, nicotine-smelling neon shimmer.
Maybe 2046, since it's got Ziyi Zhang.
Right now--Vicky Cristina Barcelona. A double rub for Rebecca Hall.
I liked to be steeped in La Dolce Vita, but if it's all about rubbing? Rub me with Persona.
Goddammit. I love Altman, and have seen all I can get my grubby mitts on, but Nashville remains unavailable in the UK (unless you can afford to buy a multi-region player... which remains nought but a beautiful dream for me at this point).
As far as the question goes... I'd love to rub Terence Malick all over me. I can't even decide which film. Bits of all of them. Or ALL of all of them. As long as I can still fondle some Moulin Rouge with my big toe at the same time...
Another Altman film....McCabe & Mrs. Miller.
Branagh's Hamlet, for sure. It's just so decadent that it's the kind of film you'd love to just bathe in.
Two rubs. Mulholland Drive and In the Mood for Love.
8 1/2. most definitely...
Love me some Nashville and rub me some Wet Hot American Summer.
Monsoon Wedding.
Top Hat.
Top Hat is my standard default favorite movie, but tonight I'd rub Monsoon Wedding on my special parts.
Being John Malkovich. I'd rub it all over me all the time if I could.
Rebel Without a Cause followed closely by Mulholland Drive.
In the immortal words of Jurassic 5: High Fidelity, definitely.
Well, I suppose I've already answered, but also: The Piano (duh), Morvern Callar (duh), and Searching for Debra Winger (hee)
So glad I can keep you laughing years later!
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - or maybe I want to rub that all over my brain?!
More literal possibilities:
Grease
Silk
Poison Ivy
Shampoo
Powder
Novocaine(?)
Once Upon a Time in the West, Nashville, Chinatown, Laura, and I'd finish off with a trio of Citizen Kane, The Third Man, and Touch of Evil. Apparently I'm a bit of a movie slut.
hud
Neel literal yes... but do you really want to rub these all over you. Ouch and ewww and oh my
ben wouldn't mulholland drive cause mutations if it seeped into the skin. I'm just saying.
blake rubbing being john malkovich. from inside his head or on the 7 and 1/2 floor or just with the Diaz/Keener fusion?
deborah mmmmmonsoon wedding. Thanks for the memory. a rich choice --i think i shall listen to the soundtrack right now.
David Lean's Summertime starring Katharine Hepburn.
Braveheart. Just thinking about it makes me swoon.
This post concept is lewd and disgusting!
P.S. - The Grand Hotel, I Know Where I'm Going, Thunderball!
erich... my deepest apologies
p.s. send photos once you've finished slathering with Thunderball in the Grand Hotel
Right now I think I may be in the mood for some Silkwood...
i absolutely love all your posting style, very unique.
don't give up and also keep penning since it simply just very well worth to read it.
impatient to browse through much of your web content, regards :)
