Hollywood may be past its sexy movies heyday, when thrillers like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct ruled the box office, but it still turns out a smutty flick or two each year, and romance is certainly having a rebirth thanks to BookTok and its insatiable hunger for spice. And thankfully, those older movies aren’t going anywhere, and are more available than ever thanks to streaming. So next time you’re in the mood to get in the mood, if you know what we mean, all you have to do is queue up the right movie and pour yourself a glass of something grape-based.
Of course, you can always go the TV route, with shows like Outlander and Bridgerton delivering sexy scenes in almost every episode, but isn’t there something particularly satisfying (pun intended) about watching the two gorgeous leads go from strangers to enemies to lovers over the course of just two hours? You really get a lot more, ahem, bang for your buck.
Whether you want your shades gray or your dancing dirty, we have something we know you’ll love, so take a look at our favorite steamy, sensual, romantic, tragic, swoon-y, passionate and all-around sexy movies of all time, because where Hinge fails to deliver, fiction will always compensate.
