As the lovers in question, William Hurt and Kathleen Turner bring all that sweaty passion to bear Hurt stars as Ned Racine, a cocky lawyer who fancies himself something of a ladies man until Turner's Matty Walker saunters into is life, turning him into lust-drunk putty in her hands.

In her film acting debut, Turner gives as commanding a performance you could beg for, and you would beg her for it if she wanted you to, enchanting and utterly fearless as a woman trapped in a loveless marriage who finds her passions rekindled by a handsome stranger.

While Body Heat is sexy as hell, it's far from trash. When they do finally start to fall, it's a thing of beauty to watch.

Kasdan lovingly builds on the backs of the hard-boiled thrillers of days gone by, playing familiar beats, but never in a way that feels tired or without innovation.

Sex puts butts in the seats, but violence or melodrama is what makes it a movie, because otherwise we could just stay at home for a skin flick and not be ashamed.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it's a personal movie. Verhoeven has fun with this. He opens the film with a sex scene that goes from hot to kink in a matter of second; a dominating blonde ties up her mate and as she arches back to achieve her climax, she grabs an ice pick she placed in the satin sheets and stabs the man to death in ecstasy, of course.

Of course this infatuation comes from Catherine being sexy and sexually free in a way that also frightens him and that fear of her allows her to always have control.

The result is exactly the kind of technical mastery you'd expect from the genius filmmaker, but it's not at all what you'd expect for the genre he's working in.

Fittingly, the story is about obsession. The film follows Cruise as a high-society New York City doctor, whose life is thrown for a loop when his wife Kidman confesses her sexual fantasies about a young naval officer she glimpsed the summer before.

It's not hot, it's haunting. Why would Connie Lane stray and why should Edward Gere stay? Instead of providing explanatory dialogue or Freudian psychology, Unfaithful prefers to observe behavior.

We observe the cheesy but new to her seduction tactics of the man she stumbles into an affair with Olivier Martinez. We observe their sex which is new to her, but will also eventually be stale and predictable and we observe Connie and Edward together at home.

Cops do come knocking at their door, but ultimately, Unfaithful is about brief obsessions that the mind wills the body to do. The Handmaiden is elevated by Park's trademark panache for lush, luxurious visuals, but it also bears his seedy sense of humor and tendrils of perversity hidden in the belly of the story.

Park dances on an uncomfortable razor's edge with the sex scenes, directing with an indulgent male gaze but always respecting female sexuality more than he's exploiting it.

In the process, he turns every glance and gesture into seduction, turning something as simple as a bit of home dentistry in to a breathless sexual experience.

For a generation of movie goers, Cruel Intentions was their lurid, poppy introduction to the erotic thriller genre. Philippe and Gellar have an electricity that carries those scenes, giving them an allure beyond the petty scheming of a couple of entitled teenagers.

And though we identify him with subversiveness, nothing in his filmography is as subversive as The 4th Man. It shows sex as all-consuming from the mind, but also too fleeting and physiological to actually inform a whole identity.

Gerard, who is in a difficult long-term homosexual relationship, is at first attracted to Christina in an attempt to get closer to the younger man in her life Thom Hoffman.

But after experiencing a very different type of orgasm with her, he starts having strange nightmares and a crisis of identity. Biology led his penis, but he allowed Catholicism and its rituals and symbolism to lead his imagination to punishment.

A downright dastardly seductress, Gregory is a woman who always gets what she wants, but is never satisfied. That's when she decides to keep the money and ditch the husband, stealing the whole haul and hiding out in a small cow town where she meets Mike Peter Berg , a well-hung but not-too-bright local who becomes the pawn in her next big con.

The Last Seduction has a hard-boiled '40s flourish, but it's also devilishly playful and full of wit. Everything Gregory does is morally bankrupt, but there's a naughty thrill and delight in watching her get away with it.

Secret Things is an immediate motor-rever, as it begins with a woman Coralie Revel masturbating to an opera on a stage. Later she teaches a young woman who tended bar at the public pleasure event Sabrina Seyvecou on how to unlock her own sexual confidence.

They sleep their way to the top. But the man at the top is a sadistic voyeur. He attempts to make them jealous of each other. Pure trash. But hey, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

The film's enduring legacy is the three-way sex scene, which is somehow more shocking all these years later -- a truly brazen act of on-screen eroticism.

Wild things is no piece of high-art, but it is some of the damn finest junk food cinema of all time. Both worlds sell fantasy, although one is vilified for going the distance while the other is exalted for when the simulation closely resembles reality.

And through extended set pieces of dizzying kisses, private dance sessions and two buried alive sequences, De Palma consistently calls into question what is real and what is fake.

For De Palma, every Hollywood encounter—where the A-list looks down upon the B-list but engages with pornography in the shadows—is fake, with an angle of deception.

This is style and substance, but you have to sift through the pile of everyone-has-a-price debris to find it. Sex and Satan, what more could you as for in a genre-bending neo-noir?

Part horror film, part erotic thriller, and part potboiler detective noir, Angel Heart was billed as The Exorcist "The possession of the human soul" meets Chinatown "The mystery of the human mind" , and that's a pretty dead-on description, except Angel Heart has a lot more blood-soaked screwing.

Set in , the film stars Mickey Rourke as Harry Angel, a New York City private eye hired by Louis Cypher Robert De Niro , an eccentric man with occult ties, to investigate the disappearance of a famed singer known as Johnny Favorite.

He shows that flourish for genre adaptation in spades here, with a film that occult horror by way of the private investigator thriller.

The two fit together hand-in-glove, leading to a climactic reveal that seems obvious in retrospect for the way it was so indelicately laid out throughout the subtext of the film.

Angel Heart was originally slapped with an X-rating, until Parker removed 10 seconds of salacious sexy business in a particularly scandalous sex scene with Lisa Bonet.

But the film is good and steamy just as it is, even without those extra shots of Rourke's buttocks, and it makes such a big bloody mess in the intersection of sex and violence, it has earned a status a bonafide cult classic.

Eli Roth uses a standard erotica setup—two lost and beautiful strangers knock on a door—as the setup for his theory that every man, no matter how decent, would cheat despite their immense reluctance to admit it.

Some men seek it out, but most would have to have it drop in their laps. You can disagree with that stance I do but still have a lot of fun with Knock Knock.

He even gets a few monologues! More than an erotic thriller—though the two girls played by Ana de Arams and Lorenza Izzo end up ensnaring him in their performance art of ruining the lives of the husbands and fathers they seduce— Knock Knock is an erotic howler.

The dialogue is often ridiculous, but Reeves delivers it with conviction it truly is one of his best performances.

And whether it pisses you off or just makes you giggle, there will be plenty to talk about afterward. Over pizza. Someone will have to pay though.
