The most sensuous, erotic, beautifully crafted movies ever


Colin

Recommended Posts

Combined with wonderful music reproduction and big screen
TVs, home theaters systems provide some truly awesome entertainment. I started
threads about war and football movies. Those are irrelevant compared to what really
excites, moves and makes most men feel alive – sex! Without simply pandering to
our prurient interests with mere nudity and explicit sex, the medium has the
power to tap our emotional core with beautiful women, erotic settings and potent
dialogue and plots. So guys, let’s see how far we can take this thread before
our mommy moderator shuts us down.



  • 1.
    What gentlemen are the most sensuous, erotic,
    beautifully crafted movies you have ever seen?
  • 2.
    What are the sexy movies you would share with a
    lover?
  • 3.
    What movies are so good that the two of you
    could watch again and again?






Recommendations must meet all three criteria above. Please
note what makes them so special (certainly if it has a good soundtrack). I’ll start…



1.
Carl Zhang’s Lovers
(2008) is a touching, erotic tale
of a young French girl taking on a rich Asian man as a lover. Set against the
beautiful, glowing backdrop of modern Shanghai, 'Lovers' explores the subjects
of love lost and found, regret, and the fragility of second chances. The camera
never looks away from their passionate explorations.
2.
The amazing Unbearable
Lightness of Being
shows the handsome Daniel Day Lewis (Last of the Mohicans, There will be Blood)
as a woman chasing doctor with two loves. One is the beguiling Juliette Binoche
(the endearing Chocolat, with Johnny Depp),
the other is the sexy, artistic free spirit Lena Olin (also Chocolat). Their love making is touching
and sexy. The situation is brashly adult and realistic.
3.
Definitely Maggie Gyllenhaal bending over the
desk to receive spankings from uptight lawyer James Spader in the shocking Secretary (2002). So hot.
4.
Of course, Chocolat.
Not simply because it has Johnny Depp, Juliette Binoche and Lena Olin, all that
is certainly reason enough, but because without a lot of nudity or sex, as in
the two above, Chocolat weaves a charming
tale of magical love certain to move and inspire the fairer sex, and perhaps a
few skeptical tweaking audiophiles as well.
5.
Yes, Liv Tyler’s topless nudity in Stealing Beauty (1996) is an attention
grabbing scene that is the hallmark of this sensuous film. But its tale of a
young girl exploring the meaning of love and relationships, with yet another
powerful performance from Jeremy Irons (Lolita,
Merchant of Venice
), is what puts this move over the top.
6.
It is absolutely Liv Tyler’s brash seductress (three
men over the legal limit) in One Night at
McCool’s
that makes the movie so sexy. Anybody watching this would run away
with her.
7.
The soft porn classic Emmanuelle (1974) with
Sylvia Kristel may seem tired now, but the steamy Asian setting makes this an
erotic temptation.
8.
Kevin Spacey’s American Beauty because of the wonderful contrasts between his
middle age male attraction to a teenage girl (the sexy Mena Suvari), Annette Benning’s
sexual obsession with a successful salesman, and the tender explorations of
their teenage daughter (Thora Birch) make one want to enjoy the precious few
seconds we have in this life.
9.
Beowolf
(2007) because all though she is nothing but animated, god-like monster, the
explicit nudity of Angelina Jolie’s character provides the fundamental driving
force behind this ancient plot: mere mortals are continually tempted by her overt
sexuality.
10.
Guys, I am going to go out on a limb here and
add Ang Lee’s triple Oscar winner, Brokeback
Mountain
, because if you can get past the two guys kissing, Annie Proulx’s
short story about a forbidden and secretive relationship between two cowboys is
one of the best love stories ever told! The movie proves that love is indeed a powerful
force of nature. You might not cry watching this move, but your woman will and
you will be a better man for watching it with her.
11.
The compelling sexual attraction between Nastassja
Kinski and Malcolm McDowell in the 1982’s Cat
People
will have you giving in to your animal desires.





















I wanted to add Jack Nicholson and
Jessica Lange in the 1980 remake of The
Postman Always Rings Twice
because their flour covered lovemaking on the
kitchen table is so hot (not explicit, but he touches her down there)! Then I
considered the sexual undertones replete in her King Kong, but that movie doesn’t fit the three criteria above.



I can’t add Lolita, The Ice Storm or Body
Heat
because all though those movies are sexy, they simply use sex as a
plot device (mmm, so does Beowolf), not
as a sensual element of the story. The
end result is that you don’t feel sexy or adventurous after watching it (not
like Secretary)!

I agree completely with you on these:

I think Penelope Cruz ranks higher

#58 on the hot list (Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2007). Why an actress, who won

an Oscar in a Supporting Role, for Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), should need to do such a long

topless scene in Broken Embraces (2009)

is beyond me, but I am glad she did.

Pedro Almodovar made some great movies that are good fun to watch with a lover. They may be comedies, but they're sexy comedies with strong women's roles.

High Heels; Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown; Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (your girl will get to see Antonio Banderas in action in that one and you may enjoy seeing Victoria Abril in the tub with a windup toy scuba diver), to name a few. Kika is also pretty wild.

An unexpected one is an old National Geographic VHS documentary called Seasons in the Sea. It shows sea life in different seasons, including mating and related activities, and it puts women in the mood for some reason. Crashing waves, primordial ocean feeling, I don't know what it is.

The End of the Affair, starring Ralph Fiennes, Stephen Rea and Julianne Moore, is also pretty good.

If you like your erotic to be a bit odd, David Cronenberg's Crash from 1996 (not to be confused with the more recent movie set in LA) is interesting, starring James Spader and Holly Hunter. Unlike in Secretary, James Spader is the normal person in this one.

Another one I like is Heaven's Burning, starring Russell Crowe and Youki Kudoh. A first-time getaway car driver saves the hostage (a Japanese woman on her honeymoon in Australia who's just run off from her husband) from being killed and they flee across Australia, pursued by the cops, the now-deranged husband and the murderous relatives of the bank robber that Russell shot to save the girl. It's a doomed love story with some serious action scenes.

Heaven's Burning trailer:


Yet another action/romance, this one with over-the-top violence that's almost cartoony like in Kill Bill, plus a comedy feel, is Shoot 'Em Up, with Clive Owen protecting Monica Bellucci and a baby, while fleeing a gang of hitmen led by Paul Giamatti and solving a murder mystery. It features the only love scene I've ever seen where the hero has to shoot a number of attacking ninjas while not missing a stroke with his girl.

And then there's Shortbus. Sook-yin Lee, the popular CBC radio personality and former musician, nearly lost her job over her starring role in this movie. She plays a New York couples therapist who has never had an orgasm, in spite of her husband's best and most athletic efforts, which are clearly and sort of humourously shown.

She goes to a club called Shortbus and meets a number of unusual people, who indulge in a range of practices she's never seen before. It's entertaining and good-hearted, but there are a number of shockingly revealing scenes, right from the start, so if you're at all judgmental, I'd suggest you don't watch it.

The review on the Cinematical website sums it up as follows: "It's rare for a film to leave you aroused and amused, hopeful and horny, impressed by both the development of the characters and the flexibility of the actors -- but the sexy, silly, startling, slight-but-sweet Shortbus pulls all those things off."

As for Sook-yin, CBC Radio yielded to strong support for her from the Canadian public and she kept her job as the host of the weekly Definitely Not The Opera radio show, also called DNTO.

Anyone who has seen Black Swan would probably add that film to this list. There are two scenes in particular, but the entire movie is filled with sexual overtones.

The best scene, without throwing out any spoilers, is where Nina is doing her "homework assignment" but then looks up and sees her mother in the room with her.
