- Y Tu Mama Tambien. Diego Luna? Gael Garcia Bernal? Lots of road trip sex scenes and beautiful Mexican vistas? Yes please. Of course, this movie is more than just a coming-of-age film about two boys and the slightly older woman who teaches them about sex.
- 9 1/2 Weeks. Though it was considered too sexy for American audiences when it was released in 1986 and got a heavy edit before hitting theaters, this film starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Bassinger follows a finance bro and an art gallerist whose love affair starts out pretty straight-laced, but who soon start delving into their kinks in the bedroom.

Read More:Why Aren’t Movies Sexy Anymore? Some movies—like In the Mood for Love and Before Sunrise—are more noteworthy for their ambient erotic charge than for outright graphic sexiness. Others, like Body Heat and Mulholland Dr., feature sequences of such exquisite and tantalizing carnality that they’ve come to define all that we think a sex scene ...
Most movies about the sexual conquests of horny teenage boys overcome with rabid hormonal urges fail to register as “sexy.” Alfonso Cuarón’s Oscar-nominated Mexican drama, which stars Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal as best friends who take a road trip with the older and unhappily married Luisa (Maribel Verdú), is the exception. Some movies are s...
Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) is a teenager who enters into a passion-fueled relationship with the slightly older, blue-haired Emma (Léa Seydoux) in this NC-17-rated French drama and groundbreaking exploration of desire. Beginning with their very first encounter, the nearly three-hour long film exudes the intensity and raw emotion of what the French ...
It must be something about the buttery light, or maybe the playful Spanish guitar or perhaps just Maria Elena’s (Penelope Cruz) tousled hair and petulant anger. Woody Allen’s jaunt through southern Spain stands as a quirky, lust-saturated meditation on attraction and compatibility. Juan Antiono (Javier Bardem) is the quintessential Lothario, oozing...
In Luis Buñuel’s surrealist erotic treasure, Catherine Deneuve plays a frigid bourgeois housewife who tries her hand at prostitution, using her previously empty afternoons to entertain clients. The picture is funny and strange and hypnotic, an experience that leaves you wondering if you’ve dreamed the whole thing. Only a filmmaker as inventive and ...
Thirteen years before Christian Grey ever spanked anyone into submission, James Spader played Mr. Grey, an extra bossy boss whose demands really rev up his employee (Maggie Gyllenhaal.) Under the direction of Steven Shainberg, the award-winning film showed how a sadomasochistic relationship could evolve from a tilted dynamic that traps the female s...
The love story of lonely cowboys Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis (Heath Ledger) is a tour-de-force. Director Ang Lee uses minimal dialogue to deliver maximal impact. Brokeback‘s story of repressed gay love resonated with audiences on its way to the Oscars. Despite its tragic finale, the movie’s beating heart is the electric romance portrayed by Le...
A gorgeous amnesiac (Laura Harring) and a bright-eyed movie-star hopeful (Naomi Watts) fall into bed before, possibly, falling into the abyss. David Lynch’s noir Hollywood reverie is like midnight in a bottle. It’s a sunlight-and-shadow view of a dream-busting town that leaves a heady perfume in its wake. No other film offers quite the buzzing erot...
With a cast of pretty young things and plenty of youthful debauchery, Cruel Intentions could easily be mistaken for just another teen drama. But there’s a menacing, provocative edge to director Roger Kumble’s film adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Because for Manhattan’s ruthless prep school elite (Sarah Mich...
Wong Kar-wai’s drama, set in early 1960s Hong Kong, may be the sexiest movie to feature absolutely no sex. The moody romance of the film exists in the negative space between bodies that will never make contact. Starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung as next-door neighbors whose spouses are having an affair with one another, the story of unconsummate...
