Backdraft
The ultra-macho pairing of Russell and Baldwin heads up Howard's testosterone-laden blockbuster, as fire-fighting brothers who have to put aside their differences and work together when an arsonist goes on the loose in Chicago. Being one of the most reliable directors around, Howard delivers exactly the kind of thoroughly entertaining commercial enterprise you might expect, only this one comes chock-full of breathtaking pyrotechnics allowing the ridiculous posturing of the two leads to take a back seat. But flames aside, the scene you will remember is the one in which Baldwin and Leigh have sex atop a moving fire engine.
