Humphrey Bogart's entrance in Casablanca

And while it isn't her initial entrance in the movie, this "subtle" entrance of Elizabeth Taylor's in Cleopatra has always been a favorite...

B12B - Liz has a couple of interesting entrances in Cleopatra. I like when she is unrolled from the carpet.

I don't know if it's a favorite doodle, but it sure was popular!

I was really going to say Les Stine, but noone would remember him.

Streisand in HELLO, DOLLY! as well - the very first shots of the movie with the close up following her feet as she walks to the streetcar, and then that close up of her smiling face.

Michelle Pfeiffer in LADYHAWKE - standing at a window in a hooded cloak, and then turning to face the camera, bringing her face into the light. It was the first time I had seen her on screen, and I literally gasped in the audience.

Travolta's strut with the paint cans in Saturday Night Fever. It instantly clues you in to his personality.

And yet, the close-ups on the feet and swinging paint cans were actually Travolta's double. Updated On: 7/18/08 at 10:35 AM

Oh, doodle. God bless you for bringing up Les Stine. Ah, the fur...the fur!

Who is this Les Stine? Sounds like my cup of tea.

Borstal, he was a cute and furry bottom of early 90s porn.
