Great Moments in Movie Shelves #139

.
Bill Murray making faces is always great, 
no matter the context. (Shelves though.)

Anyway today is the 20th anniversary of John McNaughton's trash-classic Wild Things - I wasn't sure if I was going to get around to marking it but our pal Louis at BuzzFeed wrote up a delicious little ode to the film's queerness and I wanted to reply to him with a gif and then... I couldn't stop making gifs. And here we are. For the record this was the original gif I was set to make:

God this movie is wonderful.

My one issue with it - and I know this isn't a problem everyone shares - is I find the sight of Kevin Bacon whatever the opposite of sexy is. I don't mind him as an actor, but as sex object... nothing, not a twitch. And so the movie's barely skirted homoerotic tendencies have always fallen a little flat for me - no matter how much he flings his big dick around I just can't think of Kevin Bacon that way!

Matt Dillon, on the other hand...

Until Louis mentioned it I had forgotten how gleefully the movie ogles Dillon alongside Neve & Denise. And then I started going through the movie and like I said...

... here we are. I have a bunch of gifs but not really anything to say! Do you guys have anything to say? Well I guess go read Louis' piece and then come ogle my gifs (100% Bacon-free btw). They're right after the jump...

I can't believe you neglected the one gif from this movie we all wanted...

You call that ogling? Almost always from the chest up, almost always obscured somehow, always wearing pants, etc. Please, I expect more from you. ;)
