Movies
A Streetcar Named Desire

[Leigh] smokes in a few scenes
smokingsides
several scenes, but nothing notable
smokingsides
smoke[s] throughout
Blue Sky
smokingsides
one scene, plus Jessica Lange with a two-foot holder but doesn't smoke.
Cape Fear
smokingsides
Aging Jessica Lange smokes cigarettes in many scenes and Juliette has a very quick joint puff in another scene. [Lange] plays a nervous smoker who, in one scene while talking to her husband, displays some amazing nostril exhales. To make the scene even better, she is wearing some sexy lingerie. One of the greatest smoking movies of all time!
Crimes of the Heart
smokingsides
She smokes throughout. Nice line when warned of health risks of smoking: 'That's what I like about it, Chick. Taking a drag off death [demonstrates]. What power! What exhilaration! [spoken through her exhale]
Everybody's All-American
smokingsides
Raises her cigarette to her lips in her cupped hand prior to lighting up in two scenes. One further scene holding.
Frances
smokingsides
[Lange] Many scenes at the time she looked her best! [Lange] Unfiltered smoking in 14 scenes. She smokes in bed, in a bubble bath, in the street, at a police station - everywhere. Despite the realistic touch of occasionally removing a flake of tobacco from her tongue, it isn't entirely convincing.
Hush
smokingsides
the preview shows her smoking ... on a stair case exhaling, beautifully I might add
King Kong
smokingsides
In her film debut, the lovely Jessica's cigarette hangs from her lips as she goes in search of a match. On lighting, she parts her lips wide to suck it deep and exhales through her nostrils.
Losing Isaiah
smokingsides
Jessica nervously smokes a Marlboro Light in one scene at the begining of the film [Berry] smokes crack
Masked and Anonymous
smokingsides
Lange holds a cork-tipped cigarette in virtually all of her scenes, and she also has about 6 or 7 cheek-collapsing inhales and visible exhales. She has some great french inhales, and one exhale includes some extraneous nose exhaling. Recommended.
Men Don't Leave
smokingsides
[Lange] Lights up where she shouldn't and stubs out immediately, though you catch a natural mouth-and-nose exhale from that single drag.
Neverwas
smokingsides
A light-up, a good inhale, holding with other inhales and exhales. Three or four scenes.
Night and the City
smokingsides
[Withers] A single side-on nose-and-mouth exhale against a dark background.
smokingsides
I only saw the music video made after this movie's soundtrack. She had a couple of drags in it. Smokes behind the bar in an early scene. Nice close-up of a drag and inhale later. A couple of drags in a third scene.
Prozac Nation
smokingsides
Christina smokes all-white Morleys (fictious brand made famous in the X-Files) in numerous scenes including an extremely nice light-up, exhale and two more drags in a restaurant. Michelle smokes both cigarettes and pot in a couple of scenes. Jessica also smokes cork-tips throughout including a decent mother-daughter scene with Christina.
Sweet Dreams
smokingsides
Jessica plays Patsy Cline, obviously a chain smoker who didn't get to die from lung cancer (a plane crash took her life). She played sexier roles, but it's still watchable.
smokingsides
Looks pretty good holding but the editing doesn't let us see much. From the little shown (mainly from the rear) of her exhales and the beginning of an inhale, she may not be IRL, although she was giving it a decent try.
The Postman Always Rings Twice
smokingsides
good scene in backroom of court house. Ranks up with the others, but too few good scenes.
smokingsides
As far as I can remember, [Lange] smokes unfiltered cigs throughout this one! Several very good shots. Seven short scenes with Jessica smoking non-filters. I particularly liked the one in which she takes a final drag and then stubs her cigarette out and removes a flake of tobacco from her tongue before exhaling. Anjelica lights and drags on a Philip Morris non-filter in a cameo role.
Titus
smokingsides
it's only one scene but in a way its sexy
