Dirty Dancing
One sultry summer in the Catskills leads Baby to Johnny in this coming-of-age tale that’s full of moments that are both quotable and achingly romantic. There are two truths in this world: nobody puts Baby in a corner, and no other first-love story is quite as delicious as this one.
The Handmaiden
This Amazon original is a tale of deceit, forbidden passions, and unthinkable betrayals. The Handmaiden is a true hidden gem of suspense and doomed romance, with some truly sumptuous cinematography to set the mood.
Hello I Must Be Going
A recently divorced woman strikes up an affair with a 19-year-old in this movie, which reveals that growing up is a never-ending process and life-changing romances can be found in the most unexpected of places.
Moonstruck
Yes, Nicolas Cage did give one of Hollywood’s hottest performances ever in Moonstruck. His obsessive love may be a bit much, but the passion between his character and Cher’s is unforgettable.
The Dressmaker
Gifted designer Tilly Dunnage (played by Kate Winslet) returns to her hometown with revenge on her mind, but since Liam Hemsworth is there, no one can blame her for getting distracted.
Adore
When two adult women and BFFs begin affairs with each other’s teenage sons, disaster is imminent from the very beginning – but that’s what makes this movie so fun. Of course, things get even more complicated when their romantic trysts transform into actual love.
Sliver
Based on the Ira Levin novel of the same name, this erotic thriller revolves around a successful young editor (played by Sharon Stone) who moves into a new building and meets a sexy neighbor (played by Billy Baldwin), only to learn that he isn’t quite as nice and innocent as he seems. At least he seriously delivers in the bedroom.
Gloria Bell
Written and directed by Academy Award winner Sebastián Lelio, this swoon-worthy romance film tells the story of a middle-aged woman named Gloria (Julianne Moore) who has an ordinary day-to-day life, but lets loose on the town’s dance floors each night. One night while she’s out, she unexpectedly meets Arnold (John Turturro), and their whirlwind love story begins. Get ready for a lusty relationship and so much more.
High Life
Robert Pattinson stars in High Life, an eerie sci-fi film that questions the nature of reality as the two survivors of a deadly mission into space hurtle toward a black hole. There’s an added sense of devastation to the already bleak tale since the survivors happen to be a father and his young daughter.
Hot Summer Nights
Even with the title alone, Hot Summer Nights screams sex. With Timothée Chalamet at the helm, it’s clear this one is venturing into literally steamy territory.
The Love Witch
A young beautiful witch is in search of being loved, so she makes potions and spells to attract male suitors. She hunts for men around town, seduces them, and puts magical spells on them, only to end up with needy victims who can’t get enough of her. When she meets the man of her wildest dreams, she gets so caught up in love and sex that it almost leads to a deadly murder.
The Neon Demon
An aspiring model (played by Elle Fanning) moves to LA to launch her career and, both fascinated and intimidated by the fresh-faced innocence of the ingénue, industry members instantly make her the target of intense scrutiny.

A Simple Favor
Based off of the Darcey Bell novel by the same name, Anna Kendrick stars in this twisty, sexy thriller as a fledgling vlogger who tries to solve the sudden disappearance of her glamorous best friend, who’s played by Blake Lively. With the same unreliability that makes Gone Girl so addicting, you won’t know who to trust until the very end.
The Virgin Suicides
Once you’ve seen Sofia Coppola’s 1999 drama, it’s hard to forget it. Kirsten Dunst plays one of five sisters who are confined to their home by their religious parents.
