This is gonna be a weird one... Harry Dean Stanton and Natassia Kinski in Paris, TX: Thirteen and a half minutes long... the backstory is that the people HDS is talking about, is actually a description of the two of them, 10 years ago. (He refers to himself in the third person as he tells the story.) Kinski is a sex worker, and HDS is a john who comes in to watch her strip, etc. (This is how we got our rocks off before the Internet, kids.) Jump to 10:20 to see some really cool cinematography, where the two of them decide to drop the ruse they are "just strangers", and face each other through the one-way glass, for the first time, in a decade.
