Good Vibrations Magazine

So, put your porn away (temporarily) because sometimes it’s sexier and more fun to sex it up during a “non-pornographic” film. That’s right, you heard me! Check out your cable TV movie guide or take a trip to the local movie rental place…there are a ton of movies out there that may just get your juices flowing.

According to Life Network (http://www.lifenetwork.ca/features/top10/topten51.asp) the top ten sexiest movies are:

1. Out of Sight
2. Sex and Lucia
3. The Unbearable Lightness of Being
4. Sea of Love
5. Last Tango in Paris
6. Bull Durham
7. The Thomas Crown Affair
8. Like Water for Chocolate
9. Betty Blue
10. Sirens

I’m a little embarrassed to admit I haven’t seen quite a few of these. I’m jotting some of them down. Some of them, however, like one in particular that stars Kevin Costner (ew), I’ll pass on, thanks.

Here are my top 5 picks:

1. Foxfire: Angelina Jolie, topless, giving other topless young girls tattoos in an abandoned house while drinking whiskey, surrounded by candles!? Well. You do the math.
2. The Hunger: When Catherine Deneuve opens the door, and Susan Sarandon gasps slightly, seeing her for the first time…oh my, my, my….such a delicious taste of things to come.
3. Belle Epoque: Okay, when the hot, androgynous (dyke) sister dresses in drag (as a soldier) and seduces the guy that has been seducing all of her sisters (because he is dressed in drag, and she is finally able to “be with” a “girl”)…HOT.
4. Sister My Sister: All wrong, all wrong. But, yum.
5. All Over Me: Young girl-girl love starring a young and very cute pink-haired Leisha Hailey (who’s now a regular on the L Word). Their first kiss is adorable, and sexy.

So, I asked my friends and co-workers what they considered the sexiest movies, because I’m always looking for new ideas (and because I usually freeze up when I walk into the rental place and needed to make a list!) and here is what they had to say:

1. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover: Sexy, sinister, and Jean Paul Gautier never outfitted so well.
2. Bound, starring Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon. Need I say more?!?
3. From Dusk till Dawn-Vampire love and Selma Hayek dancing with a 15-foot albino python…. Mmmmmm, yeah!

1. Kids
2. Requiem for a Dream
3. Velvet Goldmine

6. A Clockwork Orange

Not necessarily a sexy movie (Jim Henson is rolling over in his grave right now), but the hands-down sexiest character-David Bowie in all his glammed-out andro-beauty in Labyrinth. The tight pants; the eye make-up-he introduced the idea into my still-impressionable mind that sexual attraction was a complex thing. The whole crux of the movie was his desire to dominate the much younger female lead (Jennifer Connelly — not too shabby herself), but once she submitted, he’d give her anything she wanted. Needless to say, had the decision been in my hands, the muppets would be emotionally scarred by the turn the movie would’ve taken.

Tipping the Velvet!-Well really, that movie was funny, but humor is sexy. At least I think it is. Plus, anything with a giant leather dildo is hot.
-S.

1. X Men-Wolverine, Sabertooth, Mystique…someone get me a towel to wipe up.
2. 9 1/2 weeks-from Kim Basinger’s perspective definitely not Mickey Rourke’s. Something about her dressing up in that men’s suit and making cherries out of the fridge… so scandalous.
3. My Summer of Love-I know it’s a thriller but the overall ambiance of the film is sexy-it’s the Goldfrapp….
4. My Beautiful Laundrette-Naughty punk boy Daniel Day-Lewis and his high-class hot Indian lovah spilling champagne into each others mouths..Yum!
5. Bound-Campy! Gina Gershon exudes sexiness-she pays me to say that…we go way back.

More things that are sexy:

• It’s gonna sound cliche but Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain
• Jake Gyllenhal in anything
• Angelina Jolie, living on planet earth
• And lastly, the scene in Brokeback Mountain when Ennis and Jack reunite for the last time and kiss like the sun is about to set forever. The hottest screen kiss I’ve ever experienced.

1. Secretary-Masturbation inspired by dictated portion-control… office bondage… serious submission by a bratty bottom… yes, please.
2. The Hunger-Susan Sarandon, David Bowie and Catherine Denevue
3. Sex Lies and Videotape-James Spader just moves me…

-K.

Um, GIA. Need I say more?
-I.

1. Henry and June
2. Like Water for Chocolate

-R.

1. Secretary-because it’s hot
2. Better than Chocolate-the scene where they paint each other-don’t laugh!
3. Cruel Intentions
4. Bound — duh, Gina Gershon

-S.

1. Secretary
2. Secretary
3. Secretary
4. Gia
5. Secretary

Seriously, I don’t think there are that many movies that inspire my libido because our society sees no value, or is too prudish to admit there is value, in primal fucking.
-M.So, I think it’s time for me to go to the video store. I must go see if Secretary is in…I haven’t seen it in ages (I have a terrible “movie memory”) and the lovely Ms. Gyllenhaal is calling my name. And while I’m there, I think I’ll pick up Bound again too. Because, duh..Gina Gerhon! Well, actually Jennifer Tilly was my favorite.

And as far as Gia goes…well, you better believe I own this one. A naked Angelina Jolie + a photo shoot + a chain link fence = I can actually remember what happened in this movie!
