Kind of an ambitious chore when you think about it. Sexy is different things to different people really. I mean, I find busty women in lingerie sexy, but someone (either gay or not male) might not. To each their own.
Anyway, here is their list, with my own personal comments. To view their list and comments, click HERE. The links attached to the movie title go to their imdb.com page
25. The Postman Always Rings Twice: This 1981 movie stars Jessica Lange and someone named Jack Nicholson. There are some interesting scenes, Lange getting nailed on the kitchen table comes to mind. But really? Nicholson? Sexy? Maybe as The Joker...
24. Nine 1/2 Weeks: 1986 (damn, that was a long friggin time ago...) Kim Basinger as a sex starved, submissive minded art gallery worker. Mickey Rourke as the love/lust interest. Together they explore a kinky side of life. One of the hottest movies I have ever seen without an XXX rating. Why this is only #24 I have NO idea.
23. The Age Of Innocence: 1993 starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder. This is a major period piece and has a lot of petticoats. According to EW, the "Sexiest Moment - Newland unbuttons Ellen’s glove and kisses her wrist, tenderly." Ummm ok. Sure. That qualifies I guess.
22. Mississippi Masala: 1991 with Denzel Washington. Now, all I can say is Washington is one hell of an actor. I have not seen this movie, so can't really comment on it. EW says the sexiest moment is when "Mina and Demetrius hit the sheets at a beachside hotel hideaway, the camera lingering on their entwined extremities."
21. Basic Instinct: 1992. THE most famous beaver shot in the history of film. Damn, did Sharon Stone melt your screen? She sure as hell did mine. This movie has a little of everything, some bisexuality, bondage, S/M. Michael Douglas was in his prime and getting all the hot ones. Well, I never cared for Glenn Close, she scared me. Even EW listed the interrogation scene as the sexiest moment, stating "Duh." And to think, they get PAID for the words they type!
20. Titanic: 1997, Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Really? Ok... Haven't seen it. I know! Amazing isn't it? Heheheheh... I keep getting out of it! Although, Winslet has her hottie moments.
19. The Notebook: 2004 with Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. I can say that McAdams is a cutie. But that is about it. I have not seen this one. I remember coming home late from work one night, a Saturday night, hoping the wifey had been drinking enough wine to make it easier to convince her to get nekkid, and finding her on the couch with tears streaming down her face as this movie was ending. Yup, that was a lonely night. Hate this movie for that. Anyway, EW says that the sexiest moment was: Seven years after their first attempt to have sex is interrupted, the pair finally, repeatedly, get it on in the mansion Gosling has painstakingly renovated as a tribute to the love he feared he'd lost forever." Yep, that screams sexy to me.
18. Swimming Pool: 2003 starring Charlotte Rampling as Sarah and Ludvine Sagnier as Julie. Wow. A foreign film. No opinions here because I have not seen this one either. However, EW says the sexiest moment is one that I may want to see: "Sarah indulges in a fantasy in which Julie indulges herself poolside." Gimme a movie with some of that and I am a happy man.
17. Mullholand Drive: 2001. Another movie I haven't seen. But, I fully intend to after reading the review now. It stars Naomi Watts (HOT AS HELL!) and Laura Harring. I am simply going to put EW's comments here and you will see why I will be seeing this soon... "David Lynch's surreal tale of two Hollywood actresses sharing a passionate link in dual realities remains an enigma. But the explicit scenes shared by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring require no explanation. Sexiest Moment Sweet Betty (Watts) invites amnesiac Rita (Harring) to cuddle, and their good-night peck leads to more. Betty whispers, ''Have you ever done this before?'' Yep, this is now on my must see list.
16. The Seven Year Itch: Marilyn Monroe in 1955. Good movie, but #16 sexiest? Nah. The only sexy scene in the movie (this WAS 1955 after all) was when walking along the sidewalk Marilyn has her skirt blown up when going over the subway grate. One of the most famous movie scenes of all time, and best photo shots of Monroe.
15. Notorious: 1946 Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I don't remember this one being sexy though. I may have to watch it again to see if I missed it. Probably sexy from a female perspective. EW lists the sexiest moment as: "Devlin (Cary Grant) and Alicia (Ingrid Bergman) stroll out on a balcony above a South American beach. They kiss, and don't really stop for the next two and a half minutes — smooching for two seconds here, three seconds there, embracing the entire time. What began as a means of avoiding censors became a master class in hotness." I guess kissing for too long in 1946 was forbidden?
14. The Year Of Living Dangerously: 1982 starring Sigourney Weaver and Mel Gibson. For some reason, Weaver has always been one of the sexier women in movies to me. Don't ask why, I can't quantify it. The long hair, her body, ummm dunno. ANYWAY, this is one I haven't seen. EW says the sexiest moment is: "Finally done playing hard-to-get, Jill pours herself onto Guy as they drive away from a stuffy party."
13. Shakespeare In Love: 1998 chick flick with Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow is one of these women who are hot in some moments, not so much in others. Plus she named her kid Apple for crying out loud. Didn't really do anything for me. Yet this was ranked higher than Nine 1/2 Weeks? Really? Meh...
12. The Fabulous Baker Boys: 1989 with Michelle Pfeiffer (for the second time on this list...) and Jeff and Beau Bridges. I like this movie. Not completely sexy though. There is only ONE scene that qualifies for this list - Pfeiffer singing "Making Whoopie" while on top of a grand piano. This is the scene I have always remembered the movie for, and one of Pfeiffer's signature moments.
11. Once: 2006 musical about an Irish busker and Czech pianist who fall in love. Never seen it. Probably won't. EW says the sexiest moment is: "While visiting a music store, they begin to improvise intimately on Hansard's yearning ballad ''Falling Slowly.'' That Hansard and Irglová were truly falling for each other while making the movie only helps." Yawn.
10. Before Sunset: Ethan Hawke stars in this 2004 chick flick (beginning to see a theme in the movie selection...). We bought the DVD because the wifey wanted to see it, but it is still in the wrapper. According to EW: "After nearly 70 minutes of Parisian strolling and emotional confession, Jesse and Celine retire to her place. A song comes on the stereo and Celine does a sultry Nina Simone impression. Puckered lips, swinging hips — she seduces him. She seduces us. ''Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.'' Yuh. Unless this is part of a strip tease, nothing.
9. A Walk On The Moon: 1999 with Viggo Mortensen and Diane Lane. Ok, Diane Lane is hot as hell. She could sit there and recite the alphabet and I would probably chub up. Apparently there is a scene where both of them are nude under a waterfall. That could be sexy. Might have to get this one.
8. The Last Of The Mohicans: Daniel Day-Lewis (Second time on this list for him) and Madeleine Stowe in 1992. I never could buy Daniel Day-Lewis as an indian. To me the whole thing was a bit overly dramatic and somewhat cheesy. The movie is best known for the moment when Daniel Day-Lewis declares "I will find you." Probably romantic, but not sexy. At all. Come on people...
7. Y Tu Mama Tambien: 2001 foreign film with Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna as two teenage guys who spend a summer away from their girlfriends and go on a road trip in Mexico. Maribel Verdu is an older woman who joins them on their journey and plays the sex interest apparently. EW says the sexiest moment is: "A drunken, boisterous celebration escalates into a sensuous threeway. As Verdú heads south of the border, the guys unexpectedly — and passionately — kiss." Ummm ok I guess? Not judging. Just... ummm really?
6. Don't Look Now: Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie star in this 1973 horror film. How the hell can a horror film be one of the top 6 sexiest movies? There is one scene... ONLY ONE where Sutherland and Christie are having sex in the bedroom. Yup. That is how it made it on this list. One frigging scene. Just about every horror movie worth a flip has one sex scene. Sorry, but, for me, a horror movie kinda takes itself out of the running in this category. I'm just saying...
5. Bull Durham: Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon in the 1988 love story that was couched as a baseball film. I actually love this movie. Has a bit of sexyness to it throughout the whole damn movie, PLUS sports! Sarandon really is hot in this one. So, I would agree with this selection. It's ranking, not so sure about.
4. Body Heat: Kathleen Turner at her hottest in this 1981 movie with William Hurt (who counteracts any of Turner's hotness in my opinion). The whole movie is seductive and sexy. Yep, I buy this choice also.
3. Mr. & Mrs. Smith: The creation of Brangelina! In 2005, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie star as a married couple who are both spies and neither knows about the other, until they have to kill one another. The fight scenes show that they both get turned on by the violence and so does the viewer! Jolie shows up at one point in a leather domme outfit that had me wanting to be her toy for a while. I have been wondering if this one would make the list and glad as hell that it did.
2. His Girl Friday: 1940 with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Really? Didn't we previously establish that you couldn't kiss for too long without censors nixing the film back in the 40's? Hell, here is what EW says makes this a sexy flick: "''Want my fingerprints?'' asks Grant when Russell accuses him of perfidy. ''No thanks, I've still got those,'' drawls Russell — yowza!" Seriously?
1. Out Of Sight: George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in a 1998 movie about a bank robber and US Marshall who fall in love. EW says there were many sexy scenes in here. Hmmm really number one? Pfft.
And, here are numbers 50-26. I do believe there are some in this list that are far more sexy than many of the movies listed above.
50. 300 - really? Semi nude spartans killing each other?
49. Yossi & Jagger
48. How Stella Got Her Groove Back - I can see this one being on the list.
47. Kissing Jessica Stein
46. Like Water For Chocolate - another one I agree with.
45. The Bridges Of Madison County - Not for me, but I understand it was sexy for women.
44. King Kong - ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? A GIANT APE!
43. Dirty Dancing - Yeah, sexy moments. Works for me. Nobody puts Baby in a corner!!
42. Little Children
41. The Bodyguard - Another good choice, but buried too far down the list.
40. The Last Seduction - Linda Fiorentino in her sexiest, hottest role. DAMN hot... too far down the list.
39. The Talented Mr. Ripley
38. Secretary - Might have to get this one based on the EW description: "Paging human resources! This tale of a self-mutilating secretary (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and the eccentric lawyer (James Spader) who draws her into a submissive-dominant relationship is the stuff that, in real life, would prompt the mother of all lawsuits. But Secretary is actually far more sweet than perverted — and easily the most titillating movie about typing ever made.
Sexiest Moment Spader punishes Gyllenhaal's typing error by bending her over his desk and slapping her rump while she reads the offending letter aloud. The really provocative part? When their fingers fleetingly, gently touch afterward."
37. In the Mood For Love
36. Ghost - How is THIS one so far down the list? One of the sexier scenes of the 90's.
35. Sex, Lies & Videotape - James Spader's second appearance on the list.
34. The Unbearable Lightness Of Being - Frigging Daniel Day-Lewis AGAIN
33. She's Gotta Have It
32. Cruel Intentions
31. American Gigolo
30. Maurice
29. Bound - Another movie I now HAVE to see based on the EW description: "It could've been just a very stylish male fantasy. But the Wachowski brothers recruited bisexual erotic writer Susie Bright as a ''sex consultant'' to help give a realistic edge to the romantic relationship between the lead characters: Jennifer Tilly's Mafia moll and Gina Gershon's ex-con handywoman. The result is full of ''nasty wet business,'' as Bright puts it.
Sexiest Moment Tilly shows Gershon that she, too, is extremely useful with her hands."
28. Love & Basketball
27. Unfaithfull - Diane Lane as a cheating, neglected housewife. This one is VERY sexy, very erotic. LOVED it.
26. The English Patient
So, 50 movies, 50,000 opinions. Hope you enjoyed the list and the commentary. What do YOU think? Any changes you would make?
