Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Great first paragraph, downhill afterwards.

But part of my point is we get loads of violence now, even in mainstream movies, but precious little sex, i.e. depiction of seduction and the act itself.
Secondly, "mass culture fun" always has been what movies are about: I'm talking Hollywood now, not European art-house movies.
Re: lingerie. Well, when you see the nude figure and BOOM it proceeds to the act, that may be the beginning of sex but it's the end of sensuality: as exciting as watching farm animal sex.
Your first paragraph brilliantly points out that "staging" is necessary. Hitchcock's Psycho not only is one of the most menacing movies, it also shows a Janet Leigh (the white and then the black undergarments) that exudes desire.
