If you’re looking for a sultry movie to keep you warm in 2020, then look no further than HBO Now. Whether you’re in the mood for an erotic ’80s thriller or a rom-com with a dash of steaminess, there’s a sexy movie streaming on HBO Now for you. Each movie on this list has a different raunch level – some offer up sex scenes that are so hot, they might just make you blush, while others bring the heat through stolen glances and forbidden caresses. The one thing they all have in common is that they are seriously sexy and endlessly watchable.
54
Set in New York City’s Studio 54 at the height of its popularity during the ’70s, 54 follows Ryan Phillippe‘s character Shane as he ruthlessly claws his way to the top by any means necessary. His tactics lead to steamy scenes with Breckin Meyer’s Greg and Neve Campbell’s Julie.
The Aftermath
Don’t let the chilly atmosphere of The Aftermath fool you – the love triangle featuring a British colonel, his wife, and a hot German widower warms things up nicely. Watch out for a scene that’s so racy, it rivals star Keira Knightley‘s library sex scene from Atonement.
Alfie
Jude Law as a lothario leads to sultry dancing, intense make-out sessions, and all manner of mischief in Alfie. Even when he tries to settle down, the sparks between him and his sort-of girlfriend Julie (Marisa Tomei) continue to fly.
Black Widow
Black Widow plays out like an early (and less progressive) version of Killing Eve. The movie finds a detective and a serial killer seducing the same man in an erotic game of cat and mouse.
Body Heat
Hotness, thy name is Kathleen Turner. The ’80s star smolders as a married woman who strikes up a dangerous affair with a lawyer trying to solve a murder in her small town.
Cat People
A movie about people who transform into big cats may not sound sexy in a post-Cats world, but trust me, this ’80s classic allows the characters’ animal instincts to bleed into their human interactions with uninhibited results that are all kinds of hot.
Chocolat
Chocolate’s reputation as an aphrodisiac leaves a small town sexually liberated in the delectable Chocolat. Add in a slow-burn romance between a single mother and a mysterious stranger, and you have a recipe for one of the sexiest movies ever.
Closer
Closer is all about hot people – played by Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Jude Law, and Clive Owen – falling in and out (and in and out again) of love with each other. In between the breakups, their impetuous partner swapping includes plenty of scenes that will leave viewers hot and bothered.
Color of Night
OK, this classic Bruce Willis film is about a therapist dealing with his patients being murdered one by one, which is the opposite of sexy. But he’s also involved in the kind of affair that leads to rain-soaked kisses and clothing being ripped off, so it’s a give and take situation.
Crazy, Stupid, Love
Crazy, Stupid, Love doesn’t serve up nonstop sexiness like some of the movies on this list, but seeing Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone recreate the Dirty Dancing lift is sexier than any sex scene I’ve ever seen.
Dangerous Liaisons
Do you like Cruel Intentions? Well then buckle up, because Dangerous Liasons is based on the book that also inspired the modern movie. And yes, this film’s bored, rich royals hatch a seduction plan that more than lives up to the one in the ’90s classic.
Deliver Us From Eva
Eva (Gabrielle Union) is all about protecting her sisters by micromanaging their love lives, which leads to their boyfriends hiring someone to woo her. That someone is LL Cool J, and their plan ends up creating one of the sultriest couples in movie history.
Gia
Based on a true story, Gia stars Angelina Jolie in one of her earliest roles. She plays the titular model who falls for a woman named Linda (Elizabeth Mitchell). Fair warning: Gia’s story ends tragically, but her romance with Linda adds major heat to the movie.
Head in the Clouds
A trio of roommates/lovers are at the center of this lush World War II drama. And the fact that they’re played by Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, and Penélope Cruz only adds to the simmering hotness of this threesome.
Honey
If dancing is your love language, then get thee to Honey. Jessica Alba and Mekhi Phifer heat up the dance floor (and everything else) with their flawless chemistry.
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
There’s not much sex in this battle of wits, but Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson don’t need to slip between the sheets to give viewers palpitations. Whether they’re sizing each other up during a card game or angrily making out, they ooze sexiness.
Mary Queen of Scots
Two young queens fight for control of an empire in Mary Queen of Scots. But exquisite power plays aside, the movie also includes an oral sex scene that led to think pieces and plenty of debate about historical accuracy.
Moulin Rouge!
Moulin Rouge! is another movie that holds back on the sex, but still manages to be insanely sexy. Then again, it’s hard not to feel the heat between Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor when they’re breathlessly singing ballads to each other while literal and metaphorical fireworks go off in the background.
The Notorious Bettie Page
Bettie Page is history’s most iconic pinup girl, and as such, her true story is full of sex positivity. There’s also an undercurrent of tragedy to Bettie’s life, but her status as a bombshell is equally represented in the film.
Out of Sight
You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Out of Sight‘s car trunk scene. Actually, scratch that, the entire movie is a lesson in how to imbue every scene with sizzling sexual tension.
Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood grows up in this sexually charged 2010 movie starring Amanda Seyfried. Be on the lookout for a dance scene that is so hot, you’ll wonder how the movie managed to get a PG-13 rating.
The Russia House
Spy movies are inherently sexy. But they definitely get sexier when they include torrid affairs between characters played by Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer.
A Star Is Born
Face touching becomes the ultimate foreplay in A Star Is Born. This musical masterpiece rests on the shoulders of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper‘s ability to convince us they’re madly in love, and they more than deliver.
True Lies
A married couple rediscovers their passion for one another thanks to some undercover spy work. And one unforgettable tango.
Woman on Top
Viewers have a motion sickness curse (no, I’m not kidding) to thank for this weird, but also sexy, movie starring Penelope Cruz as a woman who must take control of every sexual encounter she finds herself in.
