10. "I Am Become Death, Destroyer Of Worlds" Sex Scene - Oppenheimer

It was always a given that Christopher Nolan's blockbuster biopic Oppenheimer would feature J. Robert Oppenheimer's (Cillian Murphy) famous quotation from the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds."

In real life, Oppenheimer immortalised the quote in a 1965 NBC News documentary, The Decision to Drop the Bomb, yet Nolan decided instead to repurpose it into a most unexpected of scenes.

Early in the film, Oppenheimer is in the middle of sex with Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh) when she picks the Bhagavad Gita off a shelf and gets him to read a passage, which just so happens to be the iconic quote, before the pair resume their lovemaking.

It's jarring in the moment, if only because it's such a strange and expectation-defying way to shoehorn the quote into the film.

Unsurprisingly it also caught the ire of Hindu fundamentalists in India, who felt that having the quote read aloud during a tryst was sacrilegious.

All the same, what a damn weird way to work it into the script, in turn ensuring that Nolan's first sex scene was certainly anything but ordinary.
