Sex. Watching it can sometimes come close to having it—and once in a while, it's superior. Putting on our serious hats for a second, sex is also a bedrock of cinema—the undercurrent of all romantic movies. By charting the history of movie sex scenes, one can trace a culture's hang-ups, along with the worldwide audience's evolving appetites.
What makes a sex scene legitimately sexy? Is it chemistry? Is it realism? Is it showing (way more than a little) skin? I’m talking about the moments that make you feel strange if you’re watching a movie with your parents, nan or a dodgy date (thank you, sexy shower scene in ‘The Specialist’ for that awkward moment in life!).
So, what is your ultimate favourite movie sex scene? What about it made it ultra steamy for you?
And I am not just posting this to compile a list to watch on my day off —honest! ;-)

The scene where Jack Nicholson gets it on with Jessica Lange on the kitchen table in the umpteenth remake of "The Postman only Rings Twice" rings a few bells. I thought it had a nice urgent rawness to it :-) Or perhaps the mirror scene with Cruise and Kidman in "Eyes Wide Shut"....? There are lots of others but I'm sure they'll get mentioned in the coming posts.........

Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" - A great collection of RapHip-Hop and X rated footage: So many great bits... One of my favorite scenes is when Boss Player Mark Anthony is eating out and fucking the Ho Obsession in the massive water feature! Don't know whose house that is but it sure looks cool! |

There are so many great movie sex scenes, but for me the ones from my mid-late teens are the most memorable and impressionable. There was a great, but very short train scene in Risky Business with Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay. It was a really awkward and tense scene with Phil Collins' rhythmic tune in the background (I Can Feel it Coming in the Air Tonight). Percussion in all the right places :-)

A film made in 1963 called Tom Jones, starring Albert Finney and many other well-known actors and actresses. In one scene he's sitting at a dining table in an inn opposite the actress Joan Greenwood. It is made abundantly clear that they both want sex as a matter of urgency.The way they gnaw and bite and suck at their food ,illustrates perfectly what they intend to do with one another as soon as the meal is finished. A very clever piece of cinematography. |

Last Tango in Paris, one of a handful of films that truly shocked me. That particular scene was brutal and seemed almost tant amount to rape.

The title sequence of Barbarella comes to mind, as a fun piece of auto-eroticism. |
