Wetlook World Forum

...of the top 100 greatest films of all time, only 11 of them have wetlook scenes, and only 2 of those are pretty good scenes, and none of them are really excellent wetlook scenes. The irony is, the best film with the best wetlook scene is actually a MALE wetlook scene (Gene Kelly, in Singing in the Rain). Here are the full details

Top 100 best films of all time that have wetlook scenes

#5 = male wetlook (if you are into that)....but no doubt the best staging and best set for wetlook

#9 = a short scene only, where you do not see much

#14 = a rain scene that is too brief and too dark to see much

#18 = a very good scene, but only if you are a fan of silent films

#20 = a classic wetlook scene, but largely over-rated cos you never see anybody exit the pool

#40 = a pretty good scene with Julie Andrews in one scene, and Charmain Carr in another rain scene in the film

#41 = a brief scene with Fay Wray, but no exit shots

#61 = 2 brief scenes with Veronica Lake dumped into the pool twice, but no aftermath or exit shots, so thats not good

#65 = wet dress scenes with an ugly middle aged Katherine Hepburn, so not the best kind of wetlook

#79 = the famous vineyard scene with the mexican girls in dresses in the wine vat, but you do not see much, no exit shots either

#88 = Katherine Hepburn again, but this one is much better cos she was much better looking in the 1930's, so this one is a classic wet dress scene.

And there you have it.....nothing really great in any of the Top 100 films of all time.

If you want great wetlook scenes, then stick to B movies and moronic tv gameshows.

MK

ps....yes...I know Blade Runner has a wetlook scene that I did not mention...thats because that rain scene is so dark and so inconsequential, it is not worth considering as a wetlook scene....but the film does have an awesome sound track as well as being a great film.
