I can't believe there hasn't been a thread on this, but a quick search of the archives here and at ILF didn't turn anything up.

So, anyway, do a top 100.

Secretary (which I haven't seen, apart from one scene, which DEFINITELY qualifies)

Tampopo

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 09:39 (twenty years ago)

The dancing-in-the-lounge scene in 5x2. And possibly some other bits near the end (or beginning if we're speaking chronologically).

― Affectian (Affectian), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 09:51 (twenty years ago)

Betty Blue? It is, but it's also very depressing. :-(((

― nathalie's post modern sleaze fest (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 10:31 (twenty years ago)

OMG I totally didn't think anyone would post Tampopo before me! Now I have to try to think of another.

The Hairdresser's Husband

Out of Sight

La Belle et la Bete (y'know, the Cocteau one & yes I too am pissed that I can't find a way to put a circumflex over that "e")

ps Tampopo is totally OTM

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

someone is going to say Y Tu Mama Tambien and that someone is going to be waaay off the mark. for my part though, i have to say that this is a tricky one and i can't off the top of my head think of anything that hasn't already been proffered. good Q, Nick.

Sex, Lies, and Videotape

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:31 (twenty years ago)

Body Heat
Pump up the Volume

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:37 (twenty years ago)

The Lover is pretty erotic.

And Sarah OTM about Pump Up the Volume. Samantha Mathis is luscious. I spent many teenage hours watching THAT scene over and over again.

― stewart downes (sdownes), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

The one that sometimes runs in my brane.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

The one that haunts my he-pussy.

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

Well, I do think "Y Tu Mama Tambiene" is pretty sexy. Also:

Notorious
Rear Window
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
High Art

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

The prison sequence of Todd Haynes' "Poison," and its inspiration, Genet's "Un chant d'amour."

Secretary disappoints, Markelby.

I vote for Endless Love starring Brooke Shields.

barbarella
zeffirelli's romeo and juliet

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

I have never seen more boobs per square moment than in Swimming Pool.

I always thought Henry and June had its moments. But I haven't seen it in years.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

Double Indemnity seconded loudly.

Selected scenes from Out Of The Past.

― Affectian (Affectian), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

Lolita

Take your pick on which version.

― jim wentworth (wench), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

I like Sulk's picks

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

(ps - a Google image search on Ludivine Sagnier is very, very errotic.)

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

Stealing Beauty
Betty Blue seconded (well, the begining anyway)

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

wtf we're not even counting

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

Alfred stole my usual answer with High Art. (Love the sex scene with Mitchell and Sheedy -- captures all the enchanted awkwardness of an encounter like that.)

I'll add The Dreamers.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

sex and lucia.

can't believe it's not been mentioned!

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

(I was going to say that jaymc, but I thought I might be starting to look like a weird Bertoluuci-perve.)

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

I'll top yr perviness -- Gregg Araki's "Mysterious Skin." (No, not the child sex scenes.)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

despite the fact that there is not a single sexual scene in it, i will say beau travail

― joseph (joseph), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

Teorema

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

The Rachel Papers - where Ione Skye gets nekkid

Kim Basinger's strip out of her white night gown in 9 and a Half Weeks

Constance Money's every pout in The Opening of Misty Beethoven

Uhm... I hear 9 Songs is pretty good for that kind of thing.

Kristine DeBelle in the adult version of Alice in Wonderland. She's super hot

Every Holly Valance video ever, but especially in that short black number in "Naughty Girl". Mmmm.

― Film_Frank, Wednesday, 8 June 2005 18:22 (twenty years ago)

Jaws

― latebloomer: Pain Don't Hurt (latebloomer), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

Do the Playboy video centrefold thingys count as films? They have cute nekkid girls in them!!

― Film_Frank, Wednesday, 8 June 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

in the mood for love

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 19:24 (twenty years ago)

I'll add The Dreamers.

That movie was so un-erotic.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:53 (twenty years ago)

I remember Naked Tango as being pretty incredible. It was never released on DVD and VHS/CDR copies go for really silly money on eBAY.

― Soukesian, Wednesday, 8 June 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

in the mood for love

Massively super denarius

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

― Film Frank, Wednesday, 8 June 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

pump up the volume--though i have not alot of love for mathis--the scenes of a shirtless christian slater still make me hard--and the connection (abstractly) between sexual and political liberation--between free fucking and free speech--and the conflation between serious, impt political texts and sophmoric shit...

its a really good movie

― anthony easton (anthony), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

Woman In The Dunes

― Lingbertt, Wednesday, 8 June 2005 23:28 (twenty years ago)

anthony OTM on shirtless Slater. I thought, "Oh, so THIS is why my college deejays are so cool." Then I joined my college station and was mighty disappointed none of the deejays were as hot as Slater.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 9 June 2005 00:18 (twenty years ago)

Yes, Woman in the Dunes!

― Pete Scholtes, Thursday, 9 June 2005 00:22 (twenty years ago)

Persona

― Vichitravirya XI, Thursday, 9 June 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

The sequence toward the end of What Time Is It There? is pretty erotic, even though it's also kind of sad.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 9 June 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

The girl in the original Nutty Professor (with Jerry Lewis) caused my heterosexual awakening.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 9 June 2005 00:32 (twenty years ago)

Anything with Ludivine Sagnier -- well, not 8 Women.
The Wicker Man had very infamous erotic moments.

― Ian Riese-Moraine. Exposing ambitious careerists as charlatans since 1986. (East, Thursday, 9 June 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

Blow-Up--the scene with the girls & the rack of clothes--incredibly uncomfortable, but also hot as anything.

There was a young woman in one of my classes a few years ago who casually mentioned to me, like three weeks running, that Secretary was her favorite movie ever and she was very excited that it was about to come out on DVD.

― Douglas (Douglas), Thursday, 9 June 2005 00:45 (twenty years ago)

What did she have to do, throw you down on the table?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 9 June 2005 01:40 (twenty years ago)

huh, I fell asleep in class when watching Woman in the Dunes

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Thursday, 9 June 2005 02:26 (twenty years ago)

Siesta!

But wait, that's also kind of sad. Perhaps there's a theme developing here...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 9 June 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

re: Salo

One word: mangia!

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 9 June 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

Unfaithful... up until the morality play sets in...

― Jimmy Mod Is Great At Getting Us Into Trouble (ModJ), Thursday, 9 June 2005 02:43 (twenty years ago)

Mulholland Drive

― kingfish maximum overdrunk (Kingfish), Thursday, 9 June 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

huh, I fell asleep in class when watching Woman in the Dunes

wow, how far into it were you before you fell asleep? I mean, even the sand was erotic at times.

― Lingbertt, Thursday, 9 June 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

Mulholland Drive

Oh hell yes! also, certain scenes of Fire Walk With Me

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 9 June 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)
