Pulling together a wholly objective list of the sexiest movies ever made is impossible, but we’ve come up with the top 5 to come out this year.
It’s been a trying year for all of us and it’s no question that most of the population has spent a chunk of their time on movie streaming platforms like Netflix.
Everyone has different reasons for watching certain genres of film. If you want to feel adrenaline and fear, you watch horror. If you want to laugh, you watch comedy.
But there are moments when all we want is some good, old-fashioned sexy stuff. The intimacy, the tension – all of the above.
It’s no secret that sex sells, and movies are no exception. But while plenty of films like to show gratuitous sex, they’re not always very good.
Thank goodness for 2021, because we’re getting some real sexy films to obsess over. If you’re looking for your next sultry film to indulge in, look no further—we’ve got you covered.
These are the best movies about lust, love, and everything in between.
Sylvie’s Love
Sylvie has a summer romance with an aspiring saxophonist who takes a summer job at her father’s record store in 1950s Harlem. This film explores the quiet moments of attraction between the two lovers. While the movie has twists and turns (including a disapproving father), it’s sure to make you feel something deep within your… soul.
Malcolm & Marie
Let’s keep it real this film, starring Zendaya and John David Washington, is a sensual experience. A filmmaker on the brink of Hollywood glory and his girlfriend, whose story made his career, find themselves pushed towards a reckoning as a single tumultuous night decides the fate of their relationship. The black-and-white noir style of cinematography adds to the chemistry and heat of the film.
Zola
Zola, a Detroit waitress, is seduced into a weekend of stripping in Florida for some quick cash — but the trip becomes a sleepless 48-hour odyssey involving a nefarious friend, her pimp and her idiot boyfriend. An absolutely oh-my-god-can-you-believe-that-just-happened weekend, that’s what. This movie is bound to be a wild ride.
Ammonite
Acclaimed palaeontologist Mary Anning works alone selling common fossils to tourists to support her ailing mother, but a chance job offer changes her life when a visitor hires her to care for his wife. The main character figure must figure out how to manoeuvre in a very rigid London society, where same-sex relationships were extremely taboo.
After We Collided
Because it’s based on a very steamy Harry Styles fanfic, would you not expect its movie adaptations to be sensual too? In the film, Tessa finds herself struggling with her complicated relationship with Hardin and she faces a dilemma that could change their lives forever.
Whether it’s in sophomoric explorations, gut-wrenching unspoken tensions, or the simple deed itself, sex and film have been entangled together as far back as the medium has existed.
