Creepy, disturbing, but also attractive
oceanus:
I’m not sure this thread will go anywhere because the question/premise is kind of strange, but it’s worth a try.
Can you think of a creepy/unpleasant scene in a movie where the main character was attractive/sexy because of what s/he was doing (excluding sex scenes)?
Here are a few of mine:
Deliverance – Burt Reynolds when he was holding the bow & arrow (good shot!). ;)
Godfather I – James Caan (Sonny Corleone) when he sloooowly fell after getting plastered with bullets at the toll both.
Pulp Fiction – Bruce Willis when he selected (and used) the perfect sword.
I asked a friend who happens to love Catherine Zeta-Jones, and he said in the movie Traffic when she said “Shoot him in the head.”
He also said (and this was a surprise) Octavia Spencer (Minnie) in the pie scene from The Help.
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any recent movie scenes that apply.
TylerBelle:
In District 9, when Sharlto Copley (Wikus van de Merwe) was turning into the alien. He was just so cute and helpless and I just wanted him to eventually be cured.
In Stand by Me, Kiefer Sutherland (Ace) was such a mean bully, but quite appealing.
Any time James Cagney played a gangster. (Of course loved him as George M. Cohen, too!)
And I so agree with that Burt Reynolds scene in Deliverance.

Yes, ditto re: Matt Dillon in My Bodyguard. A real gem for those who haven't seen it.
(What made me think of this thread was a friend recently saw Deliverance for the first time. I was not big Burt Reynolds fan, but, whew :D, something about him in that little leather vest with that bow & arrow! Yowza! Of course, he was a LOT younger.)
Just thought of another one: Body Heat when William Hurt throws the chair through the front door and breaks the glass. I'll skip discussing what happens next. ;)
Morticia:
Antonio Banderas, shooting everyone in Cheech Marin's bar in Desperado.
Johnny Depp, with his eyes removed, shooting blindly in the sequel.
Adelaide:
Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. I know, I know, I'm a horrible person.
Also Jason Isaacs in The Patriot.
