Flip Flop Girl's Big List of Films with Footsie
The beautiful foot has made its way into some significant films. Here is a list of major motion pictures that have included some footsie in one form or another. At first, I struggled to readily recall too many movies which included feet in a provocative/sexual way. I wasn't even sure I'd find ten really good examples. Now, I have twenty to share with you. I also wasn't so sure I'd find anything past 30 years ago, let alone anything from silent films--but I have! The Merry Widow, from 1925, actually revels in the foot fetish theme but it could be lost on someone who is not aware of foot fun. I don't know when I'll get a chance to see it since it doesn't seem to be available to the public in VHS or DVD. Swept Away definitely looks interesting with the twist of the woman kissing the man's feet. A horrid remake was made with Madonna but it could be fun just to see her kissing feet. Great Catherine sounds very naughty with Peter O'Toole being forced to kiss the princess's foot and having his bare chest rubbed with her feet. And then there is perhaps the best foot film of all, without really trying too hard, The Big Lebowski. That film is a classic on so many levels.
Here is the list. I will write reviews for each film and delve into the foot-related scenes with great depth. I'll just go with the flow and see how this develops and what other issues and topics it could bring up. This is a very good start. There are certainly other films out there and some where the foot reference might be more subtle or obscure. There's one western I'm am trying to recall where the young woman is barefoot and she steps on the boots of her man to kiss him and the camera lingers on her feet. That sort of thing I think is worth exploring too. But let's see how things go. But, while still on the subject of film feet on the periphery, I'd have to say that The Thief of Bagdad, 1940, has quite a lot of barefeet to the point of being sensual. And maybe Some Like It Hot would fall under the peripheral category but when you've got Marilyn Monroe's feet coming into contact with Jack Lemmon's face, I think you've definitely crossed the line, don't you?

Do you remember the name of a film with Eddy Murphy in? He vetted the feet of a woman before he dated them. I think there is a scene were he wakes up in bed with a strange woman, and while she still sleeps lifts the covers to see the feet of the woman that he has just woken up with.
Superb list, plus now I have more reason to go see Tenacious D. Just saw Charlies Angels and had forgot about the scene where Lucy Liu gives the guy a back massage with her feet. She really gets to work and even manages to rub her toes over his nose, lucky mf.

Yes, the Eddie Murphy movie, Boomerang,1992. I had forgotten about that one. That's a bit ahead of its time, isn't it?
Wow, I totally spaced out about that foot scene in Charlie's Angels. Thanks, Joox.

OK, I'm going to add movies to my list on this post for a bit if you guys keep coming up with titles. Maybe we'll reach 25,30, who knows. I kinda think it's going to get harder from here on out....
Guys, can you think of any foreign films, or movies that make a subtle reference to feet, or whatever angle you can come up with? It could be other movies where the girl is giving a great back rub with her feet. There must be more films from the swinging '60s too. Ah, well, we'll see what happens.
I was actually going to mention that scene too joox, she just shoves a couple of toes right on there huh, f'n amazing. Now that I think back, I remember seeing a foot kissing scene in a corny movie, Here on Earth(00) it was called, with Leelee Sobieski. Cant forget Christina Ricci's perfect, gorgeous soles either from 'Miranda'(02) which also had foot kissing, and if I remember correctly a guy ate her toe ring. Other than that theres a few other toe sucking scenes that come to mind but I cant remember what exact movies they came from, one with Teri Hatcher and another with Elizabeth Hurley. As for foreign film, I'm not a buff in the least but I did research Luis Buñuel at one time, a filmmaker known for including foot fetishism amongst a handful of other motifs in his films. Though he made a lot of movies, I hear "The Diary of a Chambermaid"(64) tossed around a lot, might check it out if available. And since we're focusing on feet in film, I thought I'd share this short flick paying homage to foot love, "Babette's Feet"(99).

Jay,
Thanks so much!!!
I'm adding these to the big movie list. I'll have to see Chambermaid and I think I remember The Discrete Object of Desire as having a little footsie going on too. Bunel is very surreal.

Four more and we've got an even 30!
Thank, thank, Jay! And all you guys for helping out. There are at least two more I have clues for, something with Elizabeth Hurley and something with Teri Hatcher. That makes me think of Eva Longoria and how she can act using her toes--but that's for our TV show list.
