Okay, so I’ve been on a bit of a mission lately, and I gotta share this with you guys. I’ve been trying to find movies with the best sex scenes. Yeah, you heard that right. Not just any sex scenes, but like, the best of the best.

So, first, I started to browse around, looking for what people were saying. Some people said, “There are plenty of movies that feature sex.” Okay, duh, I already know that. But I wanted to know what others’ opinions on this were. I kept searching and found that Zendaya, Emma Stone, and Barry Keoghan have all been in movies with some pretty steamy scenes. That’s interesting, but I wanted more.
I then stumbled upon some lists. One was like, “The Hottest, Sexiest, and Sensual Movies of All Time.” Now we’re talking! I jotted down some of the movies mentioned. Another list promised the “101 best sex scenes of all time.” 101?! That’s a goldmine! I started to see some common titles popping up, so I knew I was on the right track.
Then I found one with tags like “Best Sex Movies” and “Sexy Movie Scenes.” Alright, getting even closer to what I was after. I found a list that claimed to have the “65 best movie sex scenes from Hollywood and international cinema.” This was getting good! I added a bunch more movies to my list.
I read somewhere: “From iconic Hollywood flicks to sultry Netflix films that basically double as ethical porn, behold: the sexiest movie scenes of all time. Dim the lights and happy watching.” That sounded amazing. I love watching some Netflix, so I searched for more, hoping to find some Netflix movies.
There was also a list with like 40 of what they called the best. The first one mentioned was “Atonement (2007)”. They said, “Maybe this sex scene is so hot because you can tell there’s impending danger.” Intriguing! I added it to my list.

So, after all this digging, I started to watch some of these movies. “Cruel Intentions,” “Talented Mr. Ripley,” “Eyes Wide Shut” – these were all pretty intense. Some of them, like “Black Swan” and “Basic Instinct,” I’d seen before but watched again. Man, they really are something else. “Persona (1966)” and “Blue Velvet” were new to me, and wow, they were definitely… unique. “Saltburn”, it’s also good. They all have good sex scenes.
My Top Movie Picks
Here’s a little sneak peek of what I found:
- Atonement (2007) – It’s hot, you can feel something bad is coming.
- Cruel Intentions – Super intense.
- Talented Mr. Ripley – I love the vibe.
- Eyes Wide Shut – A classic for a reason.
- Black Swan – Dark and twisted.
- Basic Instinct – It’s a classic and it’s so good.
- Persona (1966) – Different, but in a good way.
- Blue Velvet – Weird, but definitely memorable.
- Saltburn – It’s new and hot.
So yeah, that’s where I’m at. I’ve watched a bunch, and I’ve still got a long list to go through. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m excited to see what other gems I can find. If you’ve got any recommendations, hit me up! I’m always down to check out more.
