15 Most Paused Movie Moments Of 2018

1. Jennifer's Body - Red Sparrow

Like it or not, there's still a major currency attached to seeing famous actors doing nude scenes - which is precisely why Chris Pine's penis work in Outlaw King was so heavily talked about. It's what the Internet is all about and it's why scenes like that are shoe-horned in when they probably don't really need to be in there.

All issues of exploitation aside, nudity and sex also reflect a major part of the human condition, so it's somewhat inevitable that they attract disproportionate attention, just as Jennifer Lawrence's highly-charged nude scenes in Red Sparrow proved to inspire.

It's not a great movie, but the scenes were so heavily hyped that they became a drawing point all of their own and the brief flashes of nudity would no doubt have been enough to warrant Basic Instinct style pausing.
