I think Mastroianni's little stride as he tries to get away from the producers in the hotel lobby in 8 1/2 is the shiat. Plus, Benicio del Toro's dance as he tries to run away from the cops in the Usual Suspects. Pretty funny, I like to imitate it, though I feel a little effeminate. Also, who could beat Barry Egan's grocery store shuffle (I'm sure it's not really a shuffle, just trying to alliterate).
I'm the number one fan of the girl who dances on the roof car in Blue Velvet.
:-D
While we're on the subject of Benicio Del Toro
The Way of the Gun: I think it's in the kidnapping at the beginning, he fires off a few rounds with his shotgun and then does this totally badass walk-away. Just see it.
Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like It Hot" when she struts down the train platform. So sexy it makes Jack Lemmon say, "Look at that! Look how she moves! That's just like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something. I tell you, it's a whole different sex!"
Also Ratso Rizzo's 'rocks-in-the-shoe' walk in "Midnight Cowboy". Couldn't think of that character without that limp.

That has gotta be my favorite too. I read in this GREAT book called Cult Movie Stars that she would practice it for HOURS in private. I couldn't even tell, it looks very natural.

I have seen Once Upon a Time in the West but for the life of me, I cannot remember this Claudia girl you've been talking about, I don't know why I can't picture her face at least. I saw it a long time ago but a girl this beautiful seems like she would have been pretty etched in my mind...it's weird. I keep trying to think. I'm dying to see the movie again.
See 8 1/2, or The Pink Panther, or Big Deal On Madonna Street.
She's in those.

What's it rip off? I haven't seen The Limey.
it's like the scene in PDL....running , walkin' against a wall....I think some french guy...I dunno, maybe I am full of shit, and don't know what I am talking about....
...but I am referring to the scene where he is walking along the building, when I saw it, I knew I had seen it before, just can't think of where.
