6. Cruel Intentions (1999)

This provocative teen cult classic features an iconic ensemble of actors in a story of high-stakes manipulation and seduction. Set among the affluent teenagers of Manhattan, the film follows step-siblings Sebastian and Kathryn as they engage in a manipulative game of seduction.

Featuring a cast led by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon, the film's mix of high-level horniness and desire makes for a tantalizing narrative that explores the complexities of lust and power.

5. Y Tu Mamá También (2001)

Alfonso Cuaron's Spanish drama vividly captures the teenage experience of overwhelming desire and embarrassment in a journey of self-discovery and awakening. Set against the backdrop of a road trip, the movie follows two young men and one young woman as they navigate their desires, leading to passionate and unexpected connections.

The film authentically portrays the mix of desire and awkwardness that defines this stage of life, including unforgettable sex scenes.

4. Nymphomaniac: Vol. I & Vol. II (2014)

Lars von Trier's provocative two-part film follows Joe, a self-proclaimed nymphomaniac, as she recounts her sexual experiences. The film challenges viewers to examine their own perspectives on complex issues of sexuality, shame, addiction, and social norms.

Despite its explicit content, the film delves deeper psychologically and emotionally, making it a thought-provoking viewing experience.

3. Bitter Moon (1992)

Directed by Roman Polanski, this dark drama follows the twisted relationship of Oscar and Mimi. Their tale of passion and manipulation unfolds on a cruise, drawing another couple into their web of destructive desire.

With its non-linear storytelling and compelling performances, the film perfectly explores themes of obsession, pleasure, and the darker aspects of human nature.

2. Below Her Mouth (2016)

Presenting softcore erotica through a female-driven lens, this Canadian drama tells a passionate and emotional story. The film's intense and beautifully shot intimate scenes explore sexuality and the female body with a raw and powerful point of view.

Natalie Krill and Erika Linder star as Jasmine and Dallas, whose desires lead them to collide and force them to re-evaluate their lives.

1. 365 Days (2020)

This three-part franchise, the fourth of which is yet to come, might appear to you as explicit content found on adult websites, and you will be right. Beyond its sexual scenes, this Polish movie tries to provide clear excitement, but the spicy scenes between Anna Maria Sieklucka's Laura and Michele Morrone's Massimo will be the only thing you would concentrate on.

If you are a fan of unsettling setups, kidnappings, and dark romance vibes, then this movie is definitely worth your time to watch.
