| Sweet Thing (1999) | Amalia Stifter "Fairly early in the film, Amalia, an attractive 20ish actress playing a college student, lights up in a school library of some kind. Reading to herself, then striking up a conversation with a young man, she smokes wonderfully. She inhales deeply and exhales large amounts of smoke, very well-lit, alternating thick symmetrical streams from her nostrils with forceful streams from her mouth. She's mostly in medium or over the shoulder shots but there's one great close-up. The library setting and her thoughtful gaze as she watches the guy and then starts to talk with him make this seem like a kind of intellectual fantasy pickup scene, and her casual smoking is part of it. A real find.... Anyway, don't miss this one, if you can find it."
