I thought I'd do a follow to part 1 of 'Examples of Direct in films', so here we go.

Match Point (2005)

Another Woody Allen film starring Scarlett Johansson, this is a good example of verbal Direct, eye contact and not backing down when a woman criticizes you for being direct:

 


A Beautiful Mind (2001)


I already mentioned a scene from this film in Part 1, but there's another Direct scene, which was actually cut out of the film. You could say this is a bit 'crude', but it's still direct:

 


House MD


This is a scene from the tv series, 'House MD':

 


Supernatural

This is a scene from the tv series 'Supernatural' where a woman is actually sexually direct with a guy:

 


The Flip Side (2012)


Good direct scene around the 2 min mark in the video below ('what do you say we get out of here?'):

 


Crazy Stupid Love (2011)


I gave an example from this film in Part 1, but this video shows a few more examples of Direct this film, particularly the use of the question 'Do you want to get out of here?' when at a bar:

 


The Spectacular Now (2013)

This is a good example of leading the conversation towards romantic/sexual subjects, and giving a compliment followed by a kiss, it's a reasonable Direct scene:

 


Split Image (1982)


A good example of Direct where a guy mentions that 'sex is a great way to get to know someone':

 


The Long Good Friday
 (1980)

In the lift, the guy tells the woman that he'd like to 'lick every inch' of her:

 


Haggard (2003)


A good example of verbal Direct at the end:

 


Whiplash (2014)


This is an 'honourable mention'. He's a bit hesitant in a way, but he's still direct:
