Many of the 10 best sex scenes in good movies are better than what you can find in many softcore porn films. These movies bring the emotional aspects of sex to the surface, and that can have a special kind of erotic appeal that can’t be matched by pure porn. Some of these scenes are fairly graphic, while others are much more subtle, but all of them are very hot.

  1. "Fatal Attraction" has a scene between Michael Douglas and Glen Close that is extremely intense. The couple get it on while she sits on the counter next to the sink in her kitchen, and the scene is absolutely animalistic and passionate.

  2. "Monsters Ball" is a fantastic film with a wonderful sex scene involving Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton. The two of them are grief stricken because of personal tragedy, and the sex somehow manages to be extremely hot and depressing at the same time.

  3. "History of Violence" has a sex scene involving Maria Bello and Viggo Mortensen that works on a number of levels. It’s sexy but it also demonstrates exactly what the couple are thinking, and it works as an important part of the character development.

  4. "Don’t Look Now" is a horror film directed by Nicholas Roeg, and it has a legendary sex scene with Donald Sutherland Julie Christie. The scene was especially graphic for its time, and it broke a lot of boundaries.

  5. "Basic Instinct" is an excellent thriller, with several incredible Erotic Sex scenes. There is one in particular with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone that really turns up the heat.

  6. "Risky Business" is an 80s teen sex comedy with an early appearance by Tom Cruise. He plays a teen left home while his parents go on vacation, and he decides to call a prostitute. Rebecca De Mornay shows up, and an incredible sex scene ensues.

  7. "Mullholland Drive" is an incredible film directed by the great David Lynch, and it has a lesbian scene involving Naomi Watts and Laurra Harring that works on a number of levels. It’s not a particularly graphic scene, but it’s highly erotic.

  8. "Tie Me Up Tie Me Down" is an excellent comedy about a stalker who kidnaps an actress and tries to make her love him. It has a scene involving Antonio Banderas and Victoria Abril that feels incredibly real and very intense.

  9. "Team America: World Police" has a sex scene that works as a main part of the humor in the film. The director takes advantage of the fact that they’re using puppets to show a lot of incredibly graphic sex positions. It’s hilarious, and it could be sexy for some people, especially if they have a puppet fetish.

  10. "An Officer and a Gentleman" has an incredibly passionate sex scene involving Richard Gere, and Debra Winger. The scene is emotionally gripping, and intimate.
