Intimate Healing / Film

• In Brokeback Mountain, Ennis is brought in to share Jack's tent after he's been sleeping outside in the frigid cold. Of course, they sleep fairly normally and clothed for a while before Jack decides to jump him.
• Seems to be inverted in Cabin Fever with intimacy making a character sicker. Marcy already had the disease, but it was barely showing when she had sex with Paul. But within an hour of their racy affair, her health deteriorates to a level that it took her friend almost a whole night to reach. A reasonable theory to explain this is that her accelerated heart rate during the tryst pumped the disease through her body much faster than normal, which sped up its progression. There are sickly welts emerging on Marcy's back because Paul had been fondling her there while they had sex.
• Played completely straight in The Day After Tomorrow. Laura gets Sam out of the wet clothes after a Drowning Pit situation and then embraces him because "if the blood rushes back too fast, your heart could fail". He doesn't mind. She's his crush.
• Sleeping together for warmth appears in The Great Race (with no nudity though).
• MacGyver (1985) finds himself as a recipient of one from Natalia in MacGyver: Trail to Doomsday TV-movie after he is caught in a poisoned boobytrap and loses consciouness.
• In the Jackie Chan movie The Myth, Jackie was an Imperial soldier in a past life who nearly drowns, and gets dragged to safety by a Korean princess, who does this to revive him.
• In Once Upon a Spy, Chenhault and Tannehill share body warmth (albeit still fully clothed) when forced to spend the night outdoors in the mountains. This marks the point at which they shift from being on a Last-Name Basis.
• In The Proposal, Margaret fell overboard from the speedboat that she and Andrew were in because of him turning the boat so suddenly. After he saved her from drowning, Andrew covered Margaret with warm clothing and then embraced her to warm her up.
• In The Saint (1997), the title character (played by Val Kilmer) hides from the villains by diving into the nearly frozen river Moskva and staying submerged for a prolonged time. After the villains drive off, his Love Interest leads him to a nearby housing block. Due to a gas and oil shortage, the house is unheated, so she strips down to her undergarments and cuddles with him to warm him up.
• Sands of the Kalahari: When the injured Bain is shivering by the fire at night, Grace lies down next to him and wraps her arms around him to keep him warm.
• Shandra: The Jungle Girl: When Shandra starts to slip into a coma, Ellen and Cord are able to revive her by having sex with her.
• Seen in Shogun Assassin. Ogami Ito and his son, pursued by a female ninja, swim from a burning ship to find shelter on land. (He fights and subdues her underwater before landfall, however.) Once inside an abandoned shack, Ogami ends up overpowering the ninja and stripping her. He likewise disrobes and pulls the ninja and his son closer so they won't freeze to death.
• In Shoot to Kill (aka Deadly Pursuit), the two male characters in pursuit of a killer get stuck in the mountains with a snowstorm raging on them. They dig a hole on the snow, where they are forced to take off most of their clothes and stay close together to survive the night.
• The Spy Who Loved Me. Anya suggests this to James Bond to keep warm while they're on the boat to Cairo.
• Featured in Tristan and Isolde (2006). Isolde and her maid discover Tristan washed up on the beach; guess what they do to keep him warm?
• The main characters in Without a Paddle have to attempt this to avoid catching hypothermia, to their great reluctance.
• In The X-Files: Fight the Future, Mulder saves Scully, who was infected with alien virus and transported by the government conspiracy to a secret space on the south pole. She was naked and covered in some kind of alien goo, so Mulder got her dressed in some of his clothes. When they get out, Mulder is absolutely exhausted and drops his head into the snow. Scully, also exhausted to death, somehow manages to roll her body over him. She cradles him in her lap and arms and tries to cover him from the freezing cold.
