Most Seductive Movie Scenes!

10. The Girl Next Door

Even though it’s rel a tively tame—Elisha Cuth bert’s ex–porn star teas ingly seduces school boy Emile Hirsch—there’s some thing about her pan ther crawl across the bedthat makes this entire scene unbe liev ably palm-moistening. View ers, like Hirsch, are instantly reduced to a pud dle of ner vous sweat.

9. Cruel Intentions

If know ing some thing is wrong only makes the temp ta tion stronger, then noth ing beats this incest-tinged grind fest. Sarah Michelle Gel lar rubs up on step brother Ryan Phillippe’s lap, teas ing her horn dog sibling .

8. Wild Things

Not since Phoebe Cates slinked out of a pool in Fast Times at Ridge mont High have chlo rine water and span dex been put to such allur ing use. Kevin Bacon’s cop makes the point for us when he steps up to Denise Richards slowly tow el ing off with the line “nice stroke.”

7. True Lies

Nor mally, when your wife per forms a striptease for you, it’s sup pose to end in torn sweat pants, tears, and booze-soaked apologies—it’s not sup pose to be this hot. Jamie Lee Cur tis unwit tingly awak ens Lil’ Arnie with her back-arching attempt at spy games.

6. Death Proof

If you were one of the two peo ple who saw this in the aters, you missed the infa mous lap dance that Vanessa Fer l ito and Syd ney Poitier talked about (end lessly) for the first 2/3’s of the movie.

5. National Lampoon’s Vaca tion

“This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy…” It’s also hot as hell. Every male in the ‘80s dreamed of find ing a nude Christie Brink ley in a hotel pool. And, like Chevy Chase, they too would think about jump ing in first, and their wives and kids second.

4. From Dusk Till Dawn

Even if we knew in advance that the bikini–clad Salma Hayek with the albino boa con stric tor wrapped around her mind-blowing curves was going to turn into a vam­pire and kill us, we’d still be just as riv eted. If “sex appeal” ever decides to take human form, it need not look any further.

3. Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Some times a love story can start in the sim plest of ways: A steamy Colom bian locale, some tequila, a well-timed rain shower, and two spies pos ing as a cou ple in order to evade the author i ties. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie—we hear they’re a cou ple in real life!—do the Per fect Genes Tango, but we were the ones get ting sweaty.

2. The Mask of Zorro

You can use rapier wit to dis robe a woman or you can, like Anto nio Ban deras’ Zorro, just use a rapier. His flir ta tious sword fight with Cather ine Zeta-Jones upped the steamy Latin heat of this movie to ridicu lous levels.

1. Out of Sight

After J.Lo’s Karen Sisco shoots down a cou ple of creepos, George Clooney’s Jack Foley swoops in. Inter cut with their cool-as-ice ban ter are shots of them—presumably only moments later—disrobing on oppo site sides of a hotel room.
