15 Most Paused Sci-Fi Movie Moments
11. Spider-Man - Kissing In The Rain
The first entry on this list that earns its spot by more unsavoury means, the first movie in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy offered us a little more to look at than most would consider decent - or necessary, given the setting and context.
Let's set the scene. Mary Jane, the love interest of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man, is walking down a dark alley at night and is set upon by a pack of particularly unpleasant men with less than pure intentions.
Enter Spidey, who defends her honour, and after seeing off her would-be attackers, they share a kiss in the rain that has become nothing less than iconic.
The most paused moment here comes courtesy of the pouring rain in which the two share their dramatic kiss, and the incredibly thin material of MJ's shirt.
The combination of the two made for viewing that scores of parents had to shield their impressionable children's eyes from, lest they were poked out by Kirsten Dunst's protruding nips.
Hard to see why this was necessary, but strangely, it didn't receive an awful lot of complaints.
