Been chatting to some friends about this and we came up with ones from Fatal Attraction (sink scene), Brokeback Mountain, GoT (all of them Smile) and Pretty Little Liars amongst others. What was interesting was how some favourites did nothing for others. And some were unanimously agreed to be hot as hell.

Which ones do it for you?

@Megthehen The Piano - Holly Hunter and Harvey Keitel .... so much repressed longing. The Painted Veil..Naomi Watts and Ed Norton ...same and brilliant films and novels..

Yes! I completely agree! We are on the same wavelength - they are my favourite films/sexy scenes/books too.

another one who thinks don’t look now with donald sutherland and julie christie. Its very moving.

Lessstressedhemum · 10/06/2019 18:10

Outlander, just about any one but especially the wedding, the reckoning, the oral sex one and just before Jamie sends Claire back.

chuckyeggtimestwo · 10/06/2019 18:16

agree with the ginnifer goodwin one too - “he’s just not that into you” makes me cry - her and jason whathisface are the best things in it!

TheresWaldo · 10/06/2019 18:17

Ally Sheedy and Andrew McCarthy in St Elmo's Fire "It IS tomorrow".

The cardboard tray you used to get in a Bounty.

TigerLilyMasie · 10/06/2019 18:18

Yes! The recreational hazard of having too many windows open!

PissOffPeppa · 10/06/2019 18:36

Yet another vote for the confession scene in Fleabag Blush

SlaaartyBaaardFaaast · 10/06/2019 18:37

For me, its any film with long drawn out unrequited love that finally brings them together...

Love Rosie (Sam Claflin & Lily Collins)
Pretty in Pink (Andrew McCarthy & Molly Ringwald)

Both very sexy.

Also... anything with James McAvoy who is just sex personified 😉

And I also appreciated Frank n Furter with Brad & Janet 😂

SlaaartyBaaardFaaast · 10/06/2019 18:38

Oh and Ethan Hawke & Winona Ryder in Reality Bites 😜

AudTheDeepMinded · 10/06/2019 18:41

I can't believe no one has mentioned Christian Slaters deflowering in 'The Name of the Rose', he's a novice monk ravished by the kitchen maid.

Sweetpeanutsandcolacubes · 10/06/2019 18:46

Mickey Rourke and Kim Bassinger 9 and 1/2 weeks. Way before 50 shades (1986) and hot 🔥 as f**k!!!

Terriere · 10/06/2019 18:46

Most sex scenes are as sexy as the cardboard tray in Bounty bars to be fair.

Esspee · 10/06/2019 18:52

I like subtlety such as:-
Julie Christie and Terence Stamp in Far from the Madding Crowd when he demonstrates his fencing prowess.
Merl Streep and Robert Redford in Out of Africa when he washes her hair.
I feel the sexual tension as though it was happening to me.
Overt bonking just makes me feel like a voyeur.

Vynalbob · 10/06/2019 18:58

Don't look Now
The film genuinely superb horror tension with a very 'real' scene in the centre. A list celebs

SunshineCake · 10/06/2019 18:59

BitofFun that's a blast from the past. I found it a bit icky.

AnnieKenney · 10/06/2019 19:05

Cannot believe no-one has mentioned Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland in Don't Look Back. Despite being married middle aged sex, it is so tender, so intimate, so moving. Incredibly hot and gets my vote for Best. Sex. Scene. Ever.

MarvellousMonsters · 10/06/2019 19:05

Gerrard Butler and Thandie Newton in RocknRolla.

MarvellousMonsters · 10/06/2019 19:07

Aud yes, that one is unexpected and mesmerising.

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 10/06/2019 19:09

Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze certainly weren't shy, were they?

SunshineCake · 10/06/2019 19:10

When I was at secondary school there was a film out with Jane March in it. People said she had sex for real in the film. I never saw it.

Jane1727 · 10/06/2019 19:15

Jude Law and Nicola Kidman. I think the film was cold mountain (but may be mistaken)
