There's nothing like a sultry movie to carry you away into your dreamiest fantasies, right? This year has been no exception when it comes to sexy movies, and luckily for us, there's a wide range of that very definition. There's a sweeter side of the equation that comes through in romantic movies like the Netflix darling To All the Boys I've Loved Before and the incredible breakthrough hit Crazy Rich Asians. Then there's straight-up hot, steamy sexiness in movies like the final Fifty Shades film and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. There are even some LGBTQ+ candidates, like Lizzie and Disobedience! To stave off the chill of the cold Winter months, let's revisit some serious heated films from the past year.
Four words: gratuitous Jacob Elordi shirtlessness. But also, I mean, it's called The Kissing Booth. It really explains itself.

The premise of the movie is literally three high school girls trying to go all the way on prom night. You know there's bound to be some steaminess along the way, even if it's a comedy.
Sexy, sweet, and soulful all at once. Just plan on melting into a puddle before the credits roll.
Keira Knightley as an empowered woman who bucks the system and finds her own liberation? In fantastic outfits, no less? It's a whole different kind of "sexy," people.
Even with the title alone, Hot Summer Nights screams sex. With Timothée Chalamet at the helm, it's clear this one is venturing into literally steamy territory.
