Sharon Stone's iconic leg-crossing scene in "Basic Instinct" has been crowned the most-paused "blink and you'll miss it" moment in movie history. The controversial scene, where Stone is famously sans underwear, caused a stir upon the film's release in 1992 and continues to be a memorable cinematic moment.
Movie subscription service Lovefilm conducted a poll, ranking must-see moments, and Stone's scene took the top spot. Coming in second was a brief glimpse of Jennifer Lopez's naked bottom in the 2010 film "The Back-Up Plan."
The list also features geeky moments, such as fans trying to catch a Stormtrooper hitting his head in "Star Wars," securing the third spot. Additionally, a quick appearance by video game character Pacman in the original 1982 "Tron" movie made the list.
An interesting inclusion at the eighth spot is a scene from "The Lion King" where the letters S.F.X. appear in dust, referencing the special effects used in the animation process.
Stone's provocative scene captured a significant portion of the votes, securing its place as the most-paused moment in the Lovefilm poll, showcasing the enduring impact of this cinematic moment.
