hmm
i take it means a movie with an implied sex scene?
In that case I take Belle Du Jour by Luis Bunuel. Catherine Deneuve plays a housewife who is unable to control her urge of being a prostitute. Despite having no nudity, this movie is extremely erotic. Deveuve is entrancing and delivers an intense performance, as scene after scene men have their way with her. Bunuel depicted various acts, bizarre episodes and depravities with creativity; leaving raunchy parts to imagination, but always being clear about what is taking place. however, in the end Bunuel manages to leave the viewer second guessing in the end about what he has just seen.
The Earrings of Madame De... (clothing/accessory)
Lucky Number Slevin (Bruce Willis)
Raging Bull (B/W color)
Kes (animal)
The Pirate (pre 1950, color, no Oscars)
Killer of Sheep (soundtrack better than the movie)
Greed (SF)
Belle De Jour (sex, no nudity)

I'm taking a debut film of an actor born post-1970. I am taking Jordan Nagai's debut film.
A lot of the picks in this category (Godfather, I'm looking at you) are for actors/actresses who were barely present in the movie. Allowing the category to be "Pick a movie with a baby that was made post-1970". [i]Up]/i] was Jordan Nagai's first film, it is an outstanding movie and he is at the second lead in the film. He gives one of my favorite voice acting performances in any Disney movie as he captures the exhilarating youthful combination of ignorance and enthusiasm, while being hilarious. There is a line early in the movie as Carl first starts flying his house where Russel sincerely says "You know, most people take a plane, but you're smart because you'll have all your TV and clocks and stuff. " Firstly the kid nails the line, but secondly I love how well it captures the logic and ignorance of kids, Russel really thinks that this is a good idea because Carl can keep his possessions instead of just hopping on a plane.
It's one of my favorite movies of the past decade, it's a really funny touching movie, the art work, voice work and score are all top notch and eventhough I have seen it several times I still get choked up at the end.

Actually, I thought calling her an "actress" was the more disreputable part of that pick.
But I made that pick a long time ago, when I was younger and trying to be clever. I guess now, with all of my experience, and maybe a little wisdom, I'd probably choose Matt Damon in Mystic Pizza when he said: “Mom, do you want my green stuff?”
(I think "a lot" is misleading though - most of the picks seem very legit in this category.)
Up is a good movie and Jordan did a good job of making his character endearing and not annoying (I'm talking to you, Sofia!)

I am not ashamed to admit I cried at the married life montage.
I loved Dug.

Guess it's time to skip Dom and pick from what I think is a tough category for non-foreign films:
For my 8th round pick in the 1974-1976 restricted category I choose the domestic and wild:
Blazing Saddles (1974)
The first film with farting, so some say. Comedy gold in the 8th round.
