The 21 Best NC-17 Movies to Stream Tonight

"Basic Instinct" has one of the most famous scenes in film history. You know, the one where a panty-less Sharon Stone slowly uncrosses her legs while wearing a dress. The neo-noir murder mystery is full of intrigue, drama, and yes, a lot of sex. It was initially given an NC-17 rating but, after a few selective edits, was given an R rating. (Though the uncut format is still available, wink wink.)

Watch "Basic Instinct" on Paramount+ and Hulu.
