Sexiest single-movie performance by a female


I've often contended that Elisha Cuthbert in "The Girl Next Door" is the sexiest a woman has ever looked in a single film. One movie, one actress - this is as hot as it gets for me.

Discuss. Seriously, who tops it? She is a just a total friggin knockout in this movie.

blasphemy that you left out Jennifer Connelley in "The Rocketeer".. that 30s pin up garb? just WOW... Also I'd say the way they shot Keira Knightley in "Love Actually" it was just a pure almost love letter to her as she was stunning in every single shot in that film (small role I know). Or Salma Hayek in "Fools Rush In" or "Desperado".

I've seen every movie mentioned in this thread and I can think of some more that offer an arguably sexier female lead, but it's Elisha's sweetness and vulnerability that brings me back to The Girl Next Door every time. Is this the sexiest performance ever by a female? Probably not, but who cares. She knocks me out.

I'm pretty sure I already agreed with this thread before but just to be sure I'll say it again...

I agree!

I also wanted to use the oppty to give a shout out of sorts to Monica Belluci in Malena


~What if this is as good as it gets?!~

reply

Monica Bellucci is Sexy in just about anything she is in.

reply

Jamie Pressley - when she was hot - in some sequel / part two of some franchise. Drew Barrymore was in an earlier one.

reply

You're thinking of Poison Ivy.

But to the other point, yes she was and still is hot in this movie. The part in the limousine towards the end, the look on her face just about does me in every time. Can I think of hotter women in hotter movies, yes, but even going against my preference for not really liking blondes, she's hot in this movie and just eff-ing sexy.

On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone will drop to zero.

reply

"You're thinking of Poison Ivy."


yep - that was it. PI 2 or 3 or something.

"The part in the limousine towards the end"

Is that the Kim bauer movie?

Speaking of Drew B. She was ytoung but surprisingly hot in some weird movie where she goes on a vacation with her dad - the guy from max headroom - and meets weitrd guys is all i remember.

I'd agree with the OP definitely, but Asia Argento in 'Land of the Dead', Elizabeth Hurley in 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery', Kate Hudson in 'Almost Famous', Kate Beckinsale in 'Serendipity' (for the innocence), Zooey Deschanel in 'Elf' and Elizabeth Banks in 'Zack & Miri Make A Porno' are up their, in my opinion.

Also, there was always something about Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'... Alright, creep over.
