These Sexy '90s Movie Scenes Will Make You Sweat

The golden era of the '90s was packed with a lot more than just iconic hair clips, brightly colored fashion, and boy bands. It was also a peak time for the entertainment industry, which was churning out some truly fantastic films starring some people who are now considered Hollywood's biggest names and faces, back when they were still very new to the game. Not only did the '90s produce what are arguably some of today's most classic films, there were some pretty sexy movies hitting movie theaters and local Blockbusters too.

From a young Uma Thurman in "Pulp Fiction" to fresh-faced Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman," it's fun to take a little nostalgic stroll down sexy cinematic history. Some film titles and scenes you'll probably recognize immediately (remember that steamy car scene in "Titanic," or the Sharon Stone scene in "Basic Instinct"?), while others might require a little jogging of the memory ("Fight Club" may surprise you). In case you're looking for something to watch on your next night in, whether with your significant other or by yourself, we've put together some of the sexiest movies to date below.
