Amélie
This 2001 French rom-com tells the story of a shy, eccentric waitress who decides to bring happiness and kindness to those around her. It's not overtly sexy, but more romantically sexy. Definitely an excellent date-night movie.
Beautiful Girls
If you've never seen this little '90s gem, you are missing out. It's a dramedy about a bunch of high school friends back together for their 10-year high school reunion. The cast is stacked — Natalie Portman, Mira Sorvino, Timothy Hutton, Matt Dillon, Uma Thurman, Lauren Holly, Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Rapaport — and it definitely has its share of sexiness alongside the laughter and even a couple tears.
The Bourne Ultimatum
Matt Damon is kicking butt and taking names in this follow-up to The Bourne Supremacy. This time, former CIA assassin Jason Bourne is searching for information about his past while also having some major sparkage with Julia Stiles as Nicky Parsons, a fellow former operative.
Scream 2
When the Scream crew goes to college, things get a lot sexier and a lot scarier. There's Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rebecca Gayheart, and Portia de Rossi as sorority girls and an epic death from Jada Pinkett Smith, and who doesn't love Jerry O'Connell dancing around a cafeteria singing "I Think I Love You"? Plus, pre-Justified Timothy Olyphant is the sexiest psycho since Billy and Stu.
Sliding Doors
Sliding Doors is an excellent rom-com that takes a look at fate and how one little missed train can completely alter the path of your life.
The Kissing Booth
Get swept up in this YA romance about a teen girl who is well-liked and popular but has never been kissed. When she gets into a crazy romance with her best friend's brother, romantic hijinks ensue. It's based on the bestselling book of the same name.
The Phantom of the Opera
Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler will have you swooning over their dangerous, mysterious pseudo-romance and soaring melodies in this film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit Broadway musical.
Mamma Mia!
Just in time for the release of the sequel in Summer 2018, Netflix is bringing back the original Mamma Mia!. Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried star as mother and daughter who are thrown into a whirlwind wedding weekend when the daughter invites all three men who might possibly be her father. And it's full of Abba songs and sexy fun times.
Ibiza
This Netflix original stars Gillian Jacobs, Vanessa Bayer, and Phoebe Robinson as three best friends who go on a trip to Barcelona and Ibiza. They soon find themselves in all sorts of sexy shenanigans as they try to track down a popular DJ played by Game of Thrones hunk Richard Madden.
Dare to Be Wild
This film is based on the true story of how Irish landscaper Mary Reynolds came to compete at the prestigious Chelsea flower show. It features gorgeous scenery and an epic love story between Mary and a builder played by Victoria star Tom Hughes. It's decidedly more romantic than titillating, but it's got that quiet UK sexiness going for it.
The Lost Boys
This classic 1980s vampire movie stars a young Corey Haim and Jason Patric as two brothers who move to California and must combat a gang of young vampires, led by young Kiefer Sutherland and Jami Gertz. It's definitely more comedy than horror, but that's OK. There are plenty of '80s heartthrobs to feast your eyes on.
The Queen of the Damned
Before she was tragically killed in a plane crash, Aaliyah played the title character in the movie adaptation of Anne Rice's novel of the same name. Akasha is the first vampire and is still wreaking havoc in this story, told by the vampire Lestat. The movie is laughingly bad, but that doesn't mean there aren't some sexy parts.
Sin City
This neo-noir crime thriller is based on the first, third, and fourth books in Frank Miller's graphic novel of the same name and boasts an all-star cast: Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Clive Owen, Benicio del Toro, and more. It's highly stylized and violent at moments, but it's also definitely sexy.
300
This Spartan war film is definitely intense and bloody . . . but it also features hundreds of buff dudes running around in barely any clothing. It stars hotties Gerard Butler, Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Lena Headey, Rodrigo Santoro, Kelly Craig, and David Wenham, so there is no shortage of eye candy.
Casino
This mob crime drama is the eighth time director Martin Scorsese paired up with actor Robert De Niro — and it's definitely one of the darkest. But De Niro's smolder and Sharon Stone's stone-cold sexiness cannot be ignored. In fact, she won the Golden Globe for best actress in a drama and also received an Oscar nomination for the role.
The Cruel Intentions Franchise
The first entrant in this trilogy is a classic — Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar are step-siblings (with benefits) working to wreak havoc and corrupt the virginal girls of the Upper West Side. Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair are said virginal girls, and dramatic fireworks ensue.
The two sequels aren't anything to write home about plot wise, but they do maintain the sexiness of the original.
I Am Number Four
Who doesn't want to watch Alex Pettyfer running around fighting invading aliens and falling in love with Dianna Agron? And if he's a little young for your taste, Timothy Olyphant plays his father figure.
Up in the Air
This Oscar nominee is an interesting entry on the list — it's funny, romantic, sad, and hopeful all at the same time. It's definitely a terrific movie, and stars George Clooney and Vera Farmiga absolutely light up the screen together.
Wet Hot American Summer
After producing both the prequel and sequel TV shows, it's about time Netflix got this 2001 cult classic on its streaming service. It's an absurd, hilarious camp story populated with beautiful people rocking their early '80s best.
Eyes Wide Shut
This erotic drama stars then-married couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as a couple who become embroiled in a world of sexual rituals and secret societies.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
If you want your sexiness with some high-flying adventure, check out Angelina Jolie as the titular video game character in this 2001 film. It's like a sexy Indiana Jones . . . actually, young Indy is pretty sexy in his own right, so this is a lot like that.
Basic Instinct
A scandalous thriller when it hit theaters in 1992, Basic Instinct stars Michael Douglas as a detective who becomes involved with the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
Blue Is the Warmest Color
This coming-of-age story follows a 15-year-old girl as she grows up and starts exploring her sexuality. She begins a passionate relationship with another woman, but the couple have their share of problems and heartbreak.
Like Water For Chocolate
A story of forbidden love, this 1992 award winner is about a girl named Tita who is in love with Pedro. Her mother doesn't approve of their relationship, so he marries her oldest sister in order to stay close to her.
Magic Mike
Who doesn't want to watch nearly naked hunks gyrate to dance music? Nobody, that's who. And Magic Mike is also really funny, so that's a win.
Rent
This 2005 adaptation of the blockbuster Broadway musical is about a group of young people living in the East Village of New York City in the late '80s/early '90s, struggling to pay rent and experimenting with drugs and their sexuality. It boasts an all-star cast that includes Rosario Dawson, Idina Menzel, and Taye Diggs, with nearly everyone who originated the roles on Broadway appearing here in the film.
Strictly Ballroom

Wetlands
This 2013 German film is definitely the most eyebrow-raising one on the list, as it tells the story of a young German woman who is sexually adventurous and enjoys going against societal norms.
Y Tu Mamá También
