15 Most Paused Movie Moments Of 2015

1. Madalina Diana Ghenea's Grand Entrance - Youth

So gob-smacking was this nude scene in Paolo Sorrentino's Youth that it ended up being used as the film's official poster, despite the fact that the scene is a minor part of the film. And of course the fact that no mainstream cinema in the world would be able to display it for fear of inciting prudish parents. But you can see why they did it: casting Romanian model turned actress Madalina Diana Ghenea to play Miss Universe for the nude scene was an inspired choice. As adverts for the beauty of the human body go, there's no denying she's pretty compelling. And it's probably the kind of scene that will propel the film from being a solid, beautiful looking foreign curiosity to a staple for a certain type of film fan. Which other brief, unbelievable and obscure moments from 2015 movies belong on this list? Share your appreciation below in the comments thread.
