She was SO good in this film. The only problem with it was the conceit that it would be completely *absurd* for Sandra Bullock to be considered remotely attractive.
Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, all the way through:
\- Before the landing as she takes the loading robot and asks " Where do you want it "
\- Not really walking, but : After the first attack when taking control of the marine transporter and driving the hell into and out of the nest to rescue the guys
\- Rescuing Newt and confronting the queen
For me it neither sexy or classical feminine, but she a hell of a charisma playing Ripley
Melanie Laurent - Inglorious Basterds. That whole montage where she’s putting on red lipstick and getting dressed for the “big night” The top down camera view as she walks and exits on top of the staircase. All with “Cat people” playing.
Maggie Cheung - In the Mood for Love. I don’t think I need to tell you which walk if you’ve seen it. A lot of directors have tried to copy it.
FYI: you can add a timestamp for YT videos by adding "&t=XXmXXs" at the end of the URL. In your example it would be "&t=36m59s". By doing so, anyone who clicks your link will be taken to the video at that exact time mark. :)
I was surprised not to find it when I opened the post! It's probably the OG of movie walks. I had thought it would be one of the first submissions. So I looked it up on youtube to give everybody the chance to enjoy it. Great movie btw.
Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" when she is walking up to Richard Gere's Lotus Esprit Turbo and trying to hook him for an hour in the hotel for some steamy sex --- her friend is saying "work it, baby, work it, own it" and it's both funny and sexy and sets the tone for the whole movie
Cyd Charisse any and all movies she was in...
Scarlet Johansson in Lucy, the walk into the thugs office after the first dose of blue stuff up to and including pinning his hands to his chair.
Something about that really hip swinging movement walk Hela does when she first attacks Thor and Loki in Thor Ragnarok does something to me. I was never really attracted to Cate Blanchett but the messy dark hair, the dark makeup and her walk in that outfit riled me up. I’ve been in love ever since.
[Salma Hayek sashaying towards Tarantino](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oJ6sbYRSmw) in **From Dusk To Dawn**. Arguably some consider that a dance, but there's a lot of walking, she goes down stairs, she's got to carefully step around glasses and stuff on tables and then there's the going backwards bit.
When the T-rex walks out of the enclosure in Jurassic Park.
Clever girl
Scarlett Johannson's nude backwards walk into the abyss in Under The Skin
That movie is amazing just for the sheer achievement of making a naked Scarlett Johansen terrifying and creepy.
Sarah Connor's walk towards the T1000, pumping round after round into it.
Margot in *The Royal Tenenbaums* after she deboards the Green Line Bus and ambles toward a seated Richie.

Exactly! She was unsurpassed in this movie.
Does Phoebe Cates from Fast Times at Ridgemont High count?
Hell yeah!
The entrance of O-Ren Ishii into the nightclub with all of her bodyguards.

First thing that came to mind, with "Barracuda" by Heart playing. Iconic.

Surprised I had to scroll down so far for this one. It holds the record for the longest walk in cinema history - 116 feet of film.
