| Here’s a sampling of the ultimate panty-removing films of all time:
· Last Tango in Paris – Not just because of the screwing and nakedness, although those parts are hot. More for the way it strips down the political warfare that happens in the bedroom, revealing how social mores prevent us from doing what we really want. It's great discussion fodder for the sexually open minded.
· Garden State – Even if it is primarily for the soundtrack. Zack Braff's first crack at filmmaking has a bounty of giggle-inducing moments with weird dogs. Everybody knows laughter is an aphrodisiac. The honest quirkiness and awkward moments are universal and utterly charming. Plus it has a happy ending.
· The Hunger – No one smoulders on screen like Catherine Deneuve. Even today, watching her and David Bowie seduce a leather-clad couple at a New York club is-squirm-in-your-seat hot. Susan Sarandon as Deneuve's latest vampire conquest melts the screen with those limpid peepers of hers and somehow makes smoking appealing. It also has a fabulous soundtrack for make out breaks.
· Y Tu Mama Tambien – The coming of age story of two clueless Mexican lads and their experience with an older woman is sure to get pulses racing. Gael Garcia Bernal that oozes soul and passion. Lots of dudes have admitted to having a boy crush on the guy. A note of caution: make sure the object of your affection isn't homophobic.
· Purple Rain – Prince reigns supreme when it comes to flirty looks. It's probably those eyelashes of his. And those pants. Ooh, that guitar. Those dance moves. Most of the acting leaves a little something to be desired, but who cares, it smokes. The title song begs for a slow living room waltz, followed by letting the clothes fall where they may.
· Henry and June – As seen through the eyes of Anais Nin, it's an erotic exploration of the bohemian carryings on of Henry Miller and his wife June. It's also a great example of brilliant people damaging each other in new and creative ways. The ensuing conversation about Tropic of Cancer can lead to all kinds of bedroom shenanigans.
· Secretary – James Spader is hot in a geeky, intense sort of way. As a socially inept lawyer with serious control issues, he develops a symbiotic relationship with a deliciously submissive Maggie Gyllenhaal. It's unusual, but riveting and endearing. This movie begs for some saucy re-enactments. You've been very, very bad…. |
