Exactly, which is why I avoided both Bond girls and Hammer sirens, trying to stick to more contemporary and classic 'sexy' characters. I gave Gilda an honourable mention, but could have also made a top 10 of film noir femmes fatales, whether 'classical' noir (Rita Haworth, Barbara Stanwyck, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner) or more contemporary films and neo-noir (Sean Young in Blade Runner, Isabella Rossellini in Blue Velvet, Linda Fiorentino in The Last Seduction, Marion Cotillard in the Dark Knight Rises and Inception, Eva Green in Sin City 2).
I suppose Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) is a femme fatale in Twin Peaks, as is Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct and even Jessica Rabbit!
