 The Postman Always Rings Twice
(1946) Lana Turner - John Garfield (1981) Jack Nicholson - Jessica Lange
This version of James M. Cain's novel is famed for replacing the raunchiness unsurprisingly missing from the 1946 version. This time, the kitchen table is the arena for a
raunchy sexy scene in which Nicholson gropes Lange.
It becomes clear when Lange swipes away the cutlery that she is not because she's in cleaning mode. A rumor about the authenticity of the scene
and Nicholson's performance were never denied by Lange

The motion
picture industry officially abandoned the Hays Code in 1968 New ratings systems
proposed by the Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA), followed an age-based classification
of films (G, M, R, X) to protect children. Originally the
X-rating wasn't trademarked or copyrighted, so adult film producers
started applying the X rating to their films (which
led to the invention of XX and XXX ratings)
In 1990, the MPAA replaced X with NC-17 in an attempt to create a
non-stigmatized version of the adult rating |

 À bout de Souffle (1960) Jean-Paul Belmondo - Jean Seberg Translated
as "Breathless" remains a breathtaking film experience and has aged wonderfully. Such masterpieces live up to the hype
even though they're not as technically impressive as they were 40 years
ago. Still powerful thanks to the on -screen passion. We have to look at "Breathless" from a historic point: it's different from any other previous film. Godard was truly a visionary

 Last Tango In Paris
(1972) Marlon Brando - Maria Schneider
Starting with the infamous butter scene, expatriate Brando meets young Frenchwoman
Schneider and before you can say
Tango, things get very messy indeed. The result is astoundingly
sexless while watching someone as old as Brando do it with someone young enough to be his daughter

Don't Look Now 1973 Julie Christie - Donald Sutherland
Nicholas Roeg's classic gothic thriller will be remember for one particular scene. The much-talked about three minutes begins with Julie Christie wiping toothpaste from Donald Sutherland's mouth
which progresses to tender lovemaking including: crumpled newspapers on the bed, wet
kisses and they even put their clothes back on at the end. In fact, it all looked so authentically good that rumours
abound that Sutherland and Christie did it for real. In the middle of a terrifying psychic
thriller Roeg presents an utterly convincing portrait of how married couples interact behind closed doors, ending in a love scene that develops as naturally as the next breath.
Offering an insight into married life as the couple joke and
paddle around the bathroom, with Christie poking fun at Sutherland's love handles. Once in the bedroom, they
read newspaper together, she starts caressing his
back and things happen. Always one to experiment in the editing room, Roeg intercuts their vigorous lovemaking with
them getting dressed and ready to carry on with the evening

 Body Heat (1981) William Hurt - Kathleen Turner
When a sultry Turner in an icy white dress slithers up to Hurt, you know what follows is going to be hot. It might be summer in Florida, but
no air-conditioner can be found. Hurt stands half-naked in front of an open fridge, and smashes through a window in order to get the girl. For two relative unknowns -
the chemistry is electrifying. Her character is so terrifyingly sexually confident that we believe her lover could be dazed into doing almost anything for her. How do you update the noir classic
Double Indemnity? For director Lawrence Kasdan, the solution was to make explicit the murderous lust that the original film could only imply by having Barbara Stanwyck descend a flight of stairs. It helps that
Turner a complete unknown, turned out to be a worthy successor to Stanwyck, a sultry, dangerously
screen presence with that
famous husky voice. Her extramarital coupling with small-town lawyer
Hurt, whom she ensnares in a plot to kill her husband, is a scene of sheer carnality, set in
a Florida heat

 The Hunger (1983) Catherine
Deneuve - Susan Sarandon - David Bowie
Deneuve is a beautiful, immortal, apparently powerful vampire.
When Sarandon enters Deneuve's lair, it's suddenly unclear who's in charge. Acknowledging Deneuve's intent
Sarandon responds with an "Oops, I have somehow spilled wine on my nice white shirt, I guess I'll have to take it off now" executing her desire, making it entirely clear that the subsequent
encounter is a meeting between sexual
equals. Not a horror-movie, Sarandon takes credit for that scene.
In the original draft, she was supposed to be very drunk and drawn in against her will, but Sarandon correctly estimated the effect that a more deliberate, calculated sensuality would have on the film.

 BREATHLESS (1983) Richard Gere - Valerie Kaprisky
Innocent exchange student Kaprisky gets hoisted up on a drafting table by
Gere who proceeds to work her nipples like a crazed
college student. To cool off, Gere nails her in a steamed-up shower
(breaking the door) then finishes her off in bed. For sheer stamina and
insatiability the one great line: "Do you know William Faulkner?"
"Who’s he, someone you f**ed?"

 9 1/2 WEEKS (1986) Mickey Rourke - Kim Basinger
Blindfolded and sexually hypnotized, Basinger groans, writhes and bites her pouty lip as
Rourke gives her the
Scandinavian treatment. As he rubs the ice from her lips to her panty
line. The scene becomes the last word in sensuous teasing and a guide for practical foreplay.
Trivia: DVD is more explicit than the theatrical release, but still not as titillating as
the European version

 Basic Instinct
(1992) Michael Douglas - Sharon Stone Hustler magazine took to the screen for this skin flick and propelled a knickerless Sharon Stone
to superstardom. Sadly, the police questioning of the cool blonde author is about as sexy as it

sack

 The
Lover (1992) Jane Marsh - Tony Leung Kai Fai From the novel of the same name,
this sophisticated adaptation of Marguerite Duras' best-selling
memoirs smolders on the screen. Masterfully
acted and beautifully photographed, the film brilliantly captures the essence of sexual awakening and
forbidden desire like no other film before or since. March is mesmerizing in the role of a poor French teenager who
engages in an illicit affair with a wealthy Chinese heir in 1920s Saigon. For the first time in her young life she has
control, and she wields to her besotted lover throughout
a series of clandestine meetings and torrid encounters.
As you can see there
is a great history of sex in the cinema. People work hard to have
great bodies for these scenes. Need diet drugs
