The Most Paused Movie Moments Viewers Couldn’t Help Watching Again And Again
Who hasn’t watched a movie and thought “did I just see what I think I saw?” only to pause, rewind, and search for it again? Whether it comes as the result of scenes that were either too good or bizarre not to see twice, hidden messages, or obvious production blunders, Hollywood is full of many pause-worthy moments. Read on to discover some of the most paused scenes in movies that viewers just had to get a second look at.
Titanic (1997)
A tale of epic romance mixed with disaster on the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, Titanic has left moviegoers swooning ever since its release in 1997. The film has evolved from a blockbuster movie to something of a cultural phenomenon, capturing the hearts of many, and with 11 Oscar wins to prove it.
It’s hard not to get swept up in the love story between socialite Rose and poor sketch-artist Jack. As a fan of his work, Rose especially admires his images of naked women in Paris. She asks him to draw her in what is the most paused scene of the film, and then proceeds to sleep with him in the back of a very foggy car. The drawing later plays an important role in the story after it’s uncovered from the ship wreckage years later.

Basic Instinct (1992)
It was Sharon Stone’s portrayal of Catherine Tramell in the erotic 1992 thriller, Basic Instinct that secured her position as a Hollywood sex symbol. In fact, one of her scenes in the film became such a hit among viewers that it is now considered one of the most paused movie moments in history.
The scene in question is when Stone is interrogated by a police officer after becoming a prime suspect in her famous boyfriend’s murder. In an effort to seduce the officer into distraction, Stone crosses her legs, exposing herself in the process. The scene leaves little up to the imagination, and had viewers everywhere grabbing for their remotes to try and sneak a peek.
