Ten Movies That Make You Hot


What is it about certain films that make you want to strip down and take your partner right then, right there? Is it the whole film, or a specific moment when you anticipate that two characters are going to get down? For me, it’s usually a specific scene that plays upon me like the memory of a hot dream recalled first thing in the morning (on days like these, I wake up smiling).

However, when I scrolled through my mental Rolodex of sexy films, I could only come up with a handful. Armed with my social networking tool and a hundred friends, I posed my question to both men and women: “What movies make you want to, you know, do it?”

My female friends tended to describe the entirety of films that made them hot, including the overall feel of the movies. For my male friends, sex was in the details. One guy friend told me about some specific scenes that made him hot. Another took it a step further, providing not only a movie title but also the names of actresses that heated his loins—as well as Internet Movie Database keywords that would aid me in my search (the use of which demonstrated yet another novel way of using technology to advance my knowledge).

Further research using these tools proved that I was not alone in a few of my beliefs, such as the hotness of certain actresses, certain scenes (often featuring threeways), movies somehow involving France, and all films directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Of course, it may be simply the hot shorts, tube socks, and roller skates worn by Heather Graham in Boogie Nights that do it for all of us.

Ten Movies That Make You Hot (in no particular order):

Last Tango in Paris. Two words—butter scene.

9-1/2 Weeks. In high school, my girlfriends and I watched this film religiously in our ongoing attempts to perfectly reenact the strip scene. We hoped that our mastery would inspire a man to squirt honey all over us when we hit our sexual prime.

Lolita. The 1997 version with Jeremy Irons and Dominque Swain was hot; the original 1962 version was not.

Shortbus. Although this movie’s title brought to my mind some impolite slang from high school, my girlfriend begged to differ. “[It’s] an artistic, beautiful movie with just the right lighting, colors, textures, and hot women. The movie follows the love drama of several different people, couples, [and] groups, while covering a thematic range including all kinds of sexuality, deep neuroses, and pleasure.” I’m renting it.

Y Tu Mamá También. Older woman with two younger men—now that’s a fantasy worth renting.

Chocolat. A quaint village in France, hands moving through lots of chocolate, and Johnny Depp; what’s not to love?
