Ever discover an older movie that you couldn’t believe you hadn’t seen before? That’s what happened to us recently when we decided to watch Out of Sight. This George Clooney/Jennifer Lopez movie came out back in 1998 and was adapted from a novel written by Elmore Leonard. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, this movie features great visuals, whip-smart writing, and a killer cast of supporting actors like Ving Rames, Don Cheadle, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Those are all qualities that make this film amazing. The real reason to watch it, though, is the jaw-dropping chemistry between Clooney and Lopez. These two seem hopelessly into each other whenever they are onscreen, and that results in some scenes so steamy we needed to grab a cold shower!
Want to join in our excitement? Or maybe you want to figure out if this film is one you want to check out? If you don’t mind some mild spoilers, keep reading to discover George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez’s steamiest scenes in Out of Sight!
Phone sex(y)
Ever really fall in love with someone’s voice? When we think of attraction, we usually think of being drawn to someone’s good looks. But one memorable scene in Out of Sight proves that George Clooney’s voice is just as handsome as his body, and he knows how to use it to win others over.
This scene helps establish the dynamic between these characters: he’s a fugitive from the law and she’s the US Marshal charged with tracking him down. Nonetheless, he initiates a phone call with her, and his every syllable is dripping with sex appeal. He’s interested in getting to know her on a romantic level, and after their short call, her flushed face and spacy eyes reveal just how turned on by the idea she really is!
A naughty dream
Remember when we said that George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez have killer chemistry in Out of Sight? Because of this, her top cop character’s attraction to his bad boy lawbreaker is always abundantly clear. However, the movie goes out of its way to give us a scene that shows just how much she is starting to fall for her target. And while we’d normally complain about the movie beating us over the head with something obvious, we can’t really gripe when the scene is this hot!
The scene in question is a naughty dream that Jennifer Lopez’s character has. She’s in the hospital after a car crash and ends up having a dream of sneaking up on George Clooney’s criminal character in his hotel room. When she finds him, though, he’s in a very vulnerable position…specifically, a warm, candle-lit bath. Instead of taking the opportunity to arrest him, however, she ends up joining him in the tub, and things start heating up between the two before she suddenly wakes up.
The point of the scene is obvious: to drive home just how much Lopez’s character is attracted to Clooney’s character despite her better judgment. Again, their physical chemistry from earlier scenes makes this attraction obvious, but we’ll never say no to a scene where these gorgeous characters strip down for a bath!
A meet-cute in a trunk
On some level, you might be shaking your head at our praise of these steamy scenes. After all, actors as sexy as George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez could make reading a phone book look sexy. Throw in sexy situations like taking a bath together and it’s really not hard to create scenes that practically sizzle on the screen.
However, the chemistry between these two is so great that they make their bizarre meeting in a car trunk feel like a first date. Despite their mutual circumstance (nobody wants to be trapped in a car trunk, after all), the two have a conversation where they get to know each other. Narratively, this sets up the rest of the film, but for viewers, the most exciting thing is the heavy sexual tension between these two characters. And the only thing naughtier than this tension is the anticipation of a sexy payoff later in the film!
The hotel striptease
One thing we haven’t mentioned about Out of Sight is that this Pulp Fiction-inspired film provides scenes out of order. That can provide a fun little puzzle for viewers who are watching for the first time and trying to piece together what’s really happening. In one scene, though, the timey-wimey storytelling ends up making a hot scene explosively erotic.
The scene in question starts with Jennifer Lopez’s character grabbing a drink in a bar before she is joined by George Clooney’s character. They have a quiet conversation that, in another film, would leave us wondering if these two were going to finally succumb to their passions. However, in Out of Sight, this romantic bar scene is interspersed with these characters getting hot and heavy in a hotel room, complete with both of them stripping down.
And honestly, if “George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez have a hotel strip tease scene” isn’t enough reason to watch Out of Sight, we just don’t know what is!
