Heat up our Netflix queue: Recommend me some sexy R or NC-17 (does Netflix even do NC-17?) movies to watch with my husband.

Any gender pairing OK. Any genre except horror or farce. Strong writing and direction is preferred but not necessarily required. Doesn't have to be recent, but should be genuinely steamy.

9 1/2 Weeks and Secretary would be classics in the genre of sexy.

Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love was very sexy if I remember correctly and incredibly lush in its cinematography.

Last Tango in Paris.

I came to recommend (and now second) En La Cama. Alternates sex and existential conversation. Kind of like a NC-17 Before Sunrise, with hot Chilean people.

It's not exactly steamy, but Out of Sight is damn sexy.

Shortbus is available through Netflix. Very steamy.
posted by lekvar at 9:57 PM on January 7, 2012


Shortbus is fantastic - a really intelligent, steamy, sex-positive film.

Also, previously: I'm curious what other films are out there that tell a good story....have strong character development....and are sexy. Any recommendations?
posted by mediareport at 7:32 AM on January 8, 2012 [1 favorite]


Shortbus was funny. Seconding that.

How about Sex, Lies and Videotapes?

Actually Lust, Cation was a good movie too. Another Asian related movie: The Lover.

Some steamy scenes in Tin Drum

List of films:

Rated R/ NC-17 Romances/ Erotic Movies

Netflix has The Brown Bunny on streaming, although I must admit I just fast forwarded to the good bit at the end where Chloe Sevigny blows the director.

The Last Mistress is very sexy!

I'm at work, so I can't link now, but recently Fleshbot had a whole series on softcore movies you could get through Netflix.

I'm not sure if John Water's "A Dirty Shame" should count - *barely* what you're looking for - but it's pretty damn hilarious.

Exterminating Angels

Some amazing scenes. Harsh ending though.
