The 26 sexiest movies on Netflix right now

Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon are perfect together in this sexually charged romantic comedy about a guy who has given up all sexual activity for Lent.

It leads to a lot of temptation, especially when he meets Sossamon's character.

This erotic drama from Poland about a Sicilian man who imprisons a Warsaw woman and grants her 365 days to fall in love with him found a lot of attention when it first hit Netflix and had one of the longest stints at the No. 1 most popular spot on the service.

Though some have criticized the movie for romanticizing kidnapping, others have praised that this story, that's an adaptation of a Polish-language book, didn't pull back like the "Fifty Shades of Grey" franchise did with daring and controversial sexual material.

The directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford, it stars Colin Firth as a gay college professor who is depressed and living in Los Angeles in the early 1960s.

With plans to commit suicide, things change when he begins a fling with a student, played by Nicholas Hoult.

If you are in the mood for a B-movie erotic thriller look no further than this movie.

Starring Claire Forlani ("Mallrats") and Titus Welliver ("Bosch"), and set in a hotel room in Aspen (really shot in a Bulgarian movie studio), we follow what happens to a married couple who have been cheating on each other and being manipulated by a person on the other line of a telephone.

This acclaimed road trip movie stars Sasha Lane as a teenager who runs away from her troubled home life and sets out with a group of kids who travel the Midwest selling magazine subscriptions door to door — while at the same time experiencing life.

One of the group's leaders is played by Shia LaBeouf, who begins to have a romantic relationship with Lane's character.

The chemistry between leads Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos is red-hot in this romantic drama in which we follow the two women in a relationship that leads to self-discovery.

This 1981 blockbuster is known best for its groundbreaking stop-motion animation that brought the greatest parts of Greek mythology to life, but it is also memorable thanks to the heartthrob looks of its lead Harry Hamlin.

Quentin Tarantino has always had an incredible talent for spot-on casting in his movie, but he really hit it out of the park with the choice of Jamie Foxx as the freed-slave-turned-bounty-hunter, Django.

Fox gives the character a mix of cool and sexy which brings another level to this great Western.

Director Miguel Arteta ("Star Maps," "Chuck & Buck," "The Good Girl") has never been shy to make sexually-charged material and this one is no different.

Alia Shawkat (who also wrote the screenplay with Arteta) and Laia Costa play two women fed up with conventional dating and decide to date for 24 hours, getting to know each other as intimately as possible in that time, including having sex every hour on the hour.

A majority of the movie was actually shot over the course of 24 hours.

Here's another B-movie that's hard to turn away from.

Nia Long plays Ellie, a wife and mother who seems to be living the good life but the spark in her marriage has gone weak.

Enter old friend David (Omar Epps), who spices up her life after the two go out for drinks. But Ellie stops things before they get out of hand. However, now David begins stalking her, which puts her family at risk.

This nice twist on the rom-com focuses on Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) who helps a jock write love letters for the girl of his dreams, but Ellie is also falling for her too.

There aren't many things in this world as sexy as Beyoncé on stage performing for her adoring fans. This documentary chronicles her 2018 Coachella performance.

This movie proves that love, sex, and romance is ageless.

Blythe Danner is fantastic as a widow who finally decides to get back out there. And Sam Elliott plays his usual heartthrob self as the man who finally wins her heart.

Netflix's high school rom-com franchise has all the things needed to create a steamy (and successful) entry into the genre: Hot actors with great chemistry.

It's a lot to ask an actress to convincingly portray one of the most desired people on the planet, but Michelle Williams pulls off playing Marilyn Monroe incredibly well in this movie.

She does it by displaying both her external beauty and her complex anxieties and doubts she always lived with.

Nicholas Hoult and Laia Costa appear on the list again. This time playing a couple who decide to have an open relationship.

This Nicholas Sparks adaptation perfectly mixes drama and romance as we follow Richard Gere and Diane Lane playing two people with unhappy pasts who find each other during difficult times.

This marks the third time Gere and Lane star opposite each other (previous two were "The Cotton Club" and "Unfaithful"), but this is the one where they really show of their steamy chemistry.

Speaking of chemistry, this one has one of the all-time best examples of that. And it's another Nicholas Sparks book that brought it on.

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams play two people on different sides of the social status who find one another and build a love that stands the test of time.

Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss play a couple on the verge of getting a divorce who decide to spend the weekend at a secluded estate to give their relationship one last chance.

In the process, they realize they are being intimate with doppelgängers leading to the two trying to understand what exactly is going on.

The most recent adaptation of this Jane Austen classic stars Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy.

The chemistry between Bennet and Macfadyen is definitely one of the more steamy pairings out of the countless adaptations of this work.

It's hard to get a sexier pairing in a movie than Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.

The two give great performances (Lawrence earned an Oscar) as two troubled people who finally fall in love after spending the movie training for a dance competition.

This rom-com is fueled by the sexual tension that actors Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie bring to their roles as two people who haven't seen each other since having a one night stand in college. Now adults, they decide to have a friendship that's completely sex-free.

Yeah, that ultimately doesn't work out.

This great steamy thriller stars Charlotte Rampling as Sarah, a crime novelist who travels to Southern France to work on her next book at her publisher's summer house. But suddenly a younger woman, Julie (Ludivine Sagnier), shows up claiming to be the publisher's daughter.

Her late one-night stands gradually interest Sarah, leading to things going too far when the two go after the same man.

Another successful teen rom-com from Netflix, these movies have found popularity thanks to the great chemistry between actors Lana Condor and Noah Centineo.

The popularity of honky-tonks and country music from the likes of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers in the 1980s is thanks to this movie — and especially the steamy pairing of John Travolta and Debra Winger in the lead roles.

Their performances as a fiery couple who spend their evenings partying hard in a Texas honky-tonk filled with lots of dancing and a mechanical bull led to them becoming of the sexiest duos in movie history.

Alfonso Cuarón's masterful road trip movie made Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna into international stars as they play two sexually-charged teens who set out on a road trip with a woman (Maribel Verdú) in her late 20s.
