Hollywood's Best Sex Scene

American Pie(1999)-Teenage male fantasies across the globe were fulfilled when exchange student Nadia got naked in American Pie. Four high schoolers are desperate to lose their virginity before they go to college in this gross-out US comedy. Jason Biggs sets up a webcam in his bedroom to capture Shannon Elizabeth getting changed, but things get a lot saucier than he bargained for.


Basic Instinct (1992)-The film that introduced the world to Sharon Stone's crotch and gave Michael Douglas the chance to act out his sex-addiction on screen. Stone is the chief suspect in a murder investigation, while Douglas is the detective who gets alittle too involved in the case. Basic Instinct's infamous scene comes when Stone uncrosses her legs under interrogation.

Showgirls(1995)-Sometimes a film that's meant to be sexy just isn't. On the surface, Showgirls has got all the ingredients for a real trouser-stirrer but, somehow, Paul Verhoeven's Las Vegas stripper flick is tacky when it should be arousing, and funnywhen it should be raunchy, so much so that it's become a kitsch classic. Particularly OTT is the swimming pool sex between Elizabeth Berkeley and Kyle Maclachlan - he wears a look of furious concentration, she thrashes around like a woman possessed.


Bitter Moon(1992)-Brits abroad Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott Thomas get all kinky in Roman Polanski's voyeuristic thriller. Whilst on a honeymoon cruise, Grant is drawn into a world of dangerous sex-games with another couple (the girl played by Polanksi'sown wife). This is a study of marriage based on obsession, lust and cruelty.

Basic Instinct's infamous scene comes when Stone uncrosses her legs under interrogation.


Bound (1996)- Before the Wachowski brothers travelled into the movie stratosphere with The Matrix, they got the chance to test their love of strong women in Bound. Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly have a steamy love affair, before attempting to rob $2m ofthe mafia's money from Joe Pantoliano. In a scene that would be a clich, if it wasn't so hot, Gershon comes round to Tilly's to do some plumbing, but ends up having sex with her.


True Lies(1994)-Action-packed 'identity' comedy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis as a couple in a rut. She thinks he's a dull computer salesman and yearns for more excitement. He's actually a government secret agent but can't let herknow. She embarks on an affair to spice up her life. When he discovers this, he disguises himself as (guess what?) a government secret agent and orders her to embark on a top secret 'mission' in a bid to give her the excitement she craves. Doesn't sound toosexy? Try watching the scene in which Curtis unknowlingly performs a striptease for her husband, all the time thinking that he's someone else.


Wild Things(1998)-Incredibly trashy, but hugely enjoyable thriller, that combines graphic violence, innovative plot twists and an inspired cast led by three of Hollywood's biggest teen idols: Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards. The movie's glossy production values and high school setting might initially fool you into thinking this is no more than a feature-length 90210 episode but it's not long before Wild Things' A-list cast are steaming up the screen in a series of sex scenes that leave little to the imagination. The movie's target audience of male teens watch this movie over and over again just for the moment when Neve and Denise get it on, and then there's the famous threesome...


Stealing Beauty- A tender, sensual coming of age tale from Italian maestro Bernardo Bertolucci, Stealing Beauty follows a 19-year-old American girl, Lucy Harmon (Liv Tyler), as she travels to Tuscany to spend time with family friends following the suicide of her mother. As well as recovery from this tragic event, Lucy plans to use the trip to lose her virginity - the scene in which she does this, with a young Italian boy, is a masterpiece of understated eroticism.


Cruel Intentions(1999)-Hollywood's teen remake of Dangerous Liaisons had them going wild in the aisles for one particular scene involving actresses Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair. Gellar and Ryan Philippe play siblings involved in a Machiavellian game to ruin a morally uptight girl. Cruel Intentions' sexiness almost gets out of hand when the former vampire slayer teaches a young Selma Blair how to kiss.
