Most Famous PG Underwear Scenes in Cinema: Readers’ Choice
by Jaden
As a follow up to: Most Famous PG Underwear Scenes in Cinema, the following PG panties scenes have been selected by the Screenwriting for Hollywood readers.
The first two favorite PG underwear movie scene selections, Charlie’s Angels and Weird Science, are from Melissa of Writing Forward.
Charlie’s Angels (2000)
Writing credits: Ivan Goff, Ryan Rowe, Ed Solomon, John August, Ben Roberts
At the time the modern Charlie’s Angels movies came out, people in Hollywood expressed all sorts of discontent over nothing really in particular, just saying blanket statements like, “It was alright, not that great.” I don’t understand this. The stunts, cinematography, music, and playful characters thoroughly entertained me. I figure it must be a Hollywood thing.
This panties scene of Cameron Diaz, playing as character Natalie Cook, is one of her signature moments in cinema that make us adore her.
Cameron’s character has a dream that she is like Marilyn Monroe or Madonna, doing the Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend / Material Girl formal and fabulous dance with many handsome suited men.
She wakes up in a good mood.
Wearing Fruit of the Loom’s superhero boys’ underwear Underoos, Cameron Diaz makes her bed and dances goofily around her room in front of the mirror. A delivery man comes to the door.
Weird Science (1985)
Weird Science was written and directed by 1980s movie superstar John Hughes.
1980s bombshell Kelly LeBrock plays Lisa, the creation of two high school nerdy boys.
If I remember correctly, and someone correct me if I am wrong, the image enclosed here of Kelly LeBrock in her panties is the moment she first comes on scene and comes into real life, which further illustrates a young man’s lust for girls in panties and how nudity and hardcore sex scenes are not necessarily as sexy as underwear scenes.
The next best movie underwear scene selection, There Will Be Blood, is from Shane of Understanding in a Car Crash.
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Shane wrote:
Although it’s not the type of underwear we are used to… Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview swims in the ocean and then sits out in the sun, on the beach, with his ‘brother’. Both men are wearing “britches” I guess you could call them? Like those old pajamas that you unbutton the back in order to restroom. He made long johns look GOOOOOODD.
As often is the case with memorable underwear scenes, the details about it are not written into the script.
In There Will Be Blood, the script does not mention their undergarments in this scene, but writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson brought forth the fine details of this impressionable image regardless.
The script reads:
“They rise up, naked, out of the water and move to their clothes and their HORSES. HOLD THIS MOMENT.”
The next three sexy PG panties movie scene selections, Crossroads, Hollow Man, and Deep Blue Sea, are from Tom.
Hollow Man (2000)
Hollow Man is an interesting concept for a script, written by Andrew W. Marlowe and Gary Scott Thompson, directed by Paul Verhoeven.
“Elisabeth Shue is Linda Foster, a scientist who is working on a serum to make people invisible. When another scientist tries the serum and becomes invisible his colleagues figure another way to bring him back to the normal world.” – M Sanchero
In this particular scene shown, Elisabeth Shue is sleeping when the invisible colleague, whose personality is also affected by the serum, starts having his way with her.
Tom writes about this scene, “very hot.”
Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Directed by Renny Harlin, Deep Blue Sea was written by Duncan Kennedy, Donna Powers, and Wayne Powers.
Saffron Burrows plays Dr. Susan McCallister who gets into her panties to electrocute a shark.
People refer to this scene as a classic Hollywood gratuitous panties moment in film, but Tom and many other men love it; no need for explanation, just get the girls into their panties.
Crossroads (2002/I)
In searching for this image of Britney Spears in panties from the Crossroads movie, I saw way too many paparazzi fully-shaved-beaver shots of her. Apparently the girl does not ever wear underwear, so doing a lingerie movie scene for Britney was certainly of no moral issue as it is for some other actresses.
Crossroads was directed by Tamra Davis and written by Shonda Rhimes. Women love lingerie too.
Sunday Picture Post 37 — Music
SCREENWRITING TIP OF THE DAY: MUSIC
Let music inspire you.
While you write, listen to music that sets the mood for what you are trying to write: romantic, haunting, sad, happy, or disturbing.
Music is also a good source for movie titles, character names, and a springboard for dialog.
Since I rarely post the Sunday Picture Post on Sunday anymore, below is a song that popped in my mind while I was posting this and thinking about how it is actually Friday, or really late on Thursday night, depending on how you consider the time.
“Everyday is like Sunday” is one of countless songs that is a great example for lyrics that could inspire a movie with its evocative imagery, potent feelings, and clever turns of phrase.
Morrissey › Everyday Is Like Sunday (3:36)
Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon – come armageddon!
Come, armageddon! come!
Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
How I dearly wish I was not here
In the seaside town
…that they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come – nuclear bomb
Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
(and on your face…)
(on your face …)
(on your face …)
(on your face …)
Everyday is like sunday
Win yourself a cheap tray
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SUNDAY PICTURE POST
For The Sunday Picture Post, we flip upside-down the saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Thousands of words are great if you are writing a novel, but if you are writing a screenplay, you need to do the opposite and be as concise as possible.
For your screenwriting practice in brevity, in the comments section, using the image above, please post one or all of the following:
- A title for this movie
- 1 word describing the theme, mood, or scene
- 1 sentence to describe the scene
- A pitch to sell the entire movie
The more colorful and creative you are, the better! Use any genre.
A good screenwriter is laconic, using a few words to say a lot.
