Mostly a drama (so if you don't want things to get way too real, feel free to skip the ending), this movie about a wife who strikes out on an affair is also extremely steamy. Berlin Syndrome is thrilling with a bit of sexiness thrown in, just enough sexiness to make you uncomfortable and worried about your own sanity. James Bond has always been known as a ladies' man and a sex symbol and the shower love scene between Daniel Craig's take on the iconic super spy and Sévérine in Skyfallshows how 007 keeps earning his rep, over and over.

Y Tu Mama Tambien debatably has one of the most memorable threesome scenes of all time, mainly because of Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna’s surprising (and hot) kiss.
