Did you see May? I bought it some time back and liked it alot.

 

[JayKeeley]

No, never seen it. I'd like to see Irreversible too.

 

[Nate The Great]

I saw Irreversible at Best Buy for $11. I should go get it. I've been meaning to get it because it has some great sex scenes I've heard.

 

[Black Winter Day]

great sex scenes

sold! :hotjump:

 

[J.]

It's got Monica Bellucci, so that automatically makes it an essential movie.

 

[Nate The Great]

I could be wrong, but I think I read that the sex scenes are REAL. I might be thinking of a different movie, though. I guess they take place with her boyfriend or something.

 

[J.]

Monica's sex scenes are with her husband, so they could be real. CHeck out these reviews:
