John Travolta is peak sexiness in this ’80s Western romance, which revolves around a Houston honky tonk and the love-hate relationship that develops between new guy in town, Bud, and a local named Sissy. Whenever a movie has a mechanical-bull-riding scene, it’s basically guaranteed to be erotic.

Just Go With It
The comedy dream team of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston stars in this rom-com following a heartbroken plastic surgeon who convinces his assistant to pose as his soon-to-be-ex-wife in order to woo his dream girl (played by former Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker).

Sliver
Based on the Ira Levin novel of the same name, this erotic thriller revolves around a successful young editor (played by Sharon Stone) who moves into a new building and meets a sexy neighbor (played by Billy Baldwin), only to learn that he isn’t quite as nice and innocent as he seems. At least he seriously delivers in the bedroom.
Chloe
Julianne Moore stars in this erotic thriller as a woman who – when she suspects her husband (played by Liam Neeson) isn’t being faithful – hires a call girl (played by Amanda Seyfried) to see if she can tempt him into cheating. Spoiler alert: the call girl ends up tempting them both.
