Last Tango in Paris

It takes two to tango and we couldn't agree more! This 1972 erotic drama is a sensual treat, one that you just can't get enough of.

For the uninitiated, the film revolves around a widowed American played by Marlon Brando, who is an anonymous sexual relationship with a young Parisian woman. Need we say more?

Unfaithful

Oh boy! This one definitely makes the cut. Starring-Richard Gere, Diane Lane, and Olivier Martinez in the lead roles, it tells the tale of an American couple, whose marriage is on the rocks, courtesy a steamy affair.

If the sweltering love-making scenes don't set the temperature soaring, what else will?

Nine 1/2 Weeks

Bored to death with your mundane foreplay routine? Yes, you say. Well, take inspiration from this 1986 American erotic drama. Much ahead of its years, this film is a lesson enough for those interested in BDSM.

Keep aside your copy of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and watch Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke turn you on like never before.

Monster's Ball

Here's a challenge. Try keeping your hands off each other after watching the iconic sex scene between Halle Berry and Billy Thornton. This 2001 American romantic drama is loaded with erotica to fill you with inspiration.

Basic Instinct

Girls, 45 minutes into the film, we doubt you will even be watching it! If you are waiting to surprise your man with some hot action, Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone will help you unleash your inner animal.
