Ah, winter: the perfect time to stay inside, all horny and with nowhere to go. Why not live vicariously through cinema’s lovers? We rounded up some of the sexiest movies on Netflix for you. Happy watching!
The Age of Innocence
Hot people present: Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Day-Lewis
What is it about? Uptight Newland is engaged to sweet May — but he’s thirstin’ for her cousin, the scandalous divorcee Countess Olenska.
Horny highlights: Martin Scorsese called this movie “the most violent film I’ve made.” What’s hotter than watching people have sex? Watching people who are desperate to have sex and absolutely cannot have sex. In the age of innocence, a stolen kiss on the wrist is far, far hornier than the most graphic smashfest.
Get a li’l taste:
Crazy Stupid Love
Hot people present: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carrell, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei
What is it about? A separated sadsack gets dating lessons from a dead-inside PUA — who is obscenely good-looking.
Horny highlights: Emma Stone initially rebuffs Ryan Gosling, only to change her mind when faced with the grotesque fate of being wed to Josh Groban forever. She does the patented journey-through-the-rainstorm to get to Gosling, culminating in a passionate clinch and one of cinema’s cutest hookups, complete with Dirty Dancing lift and Stone’s goggle-eyed delight at his Photoshop-level abs.

Dirty Dancing
Hot people present: Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey
What is it about? Sheltered feminist teen Baby crushes on sentient beefsteak/dance instructor Johnny Castle during one fateful summer at a Catskills resort.
Horny highlights: SLOWDANCING TO SOLOMON BURKE’S “CRY TO ME.”
Get a li’l taste:
Duck Butter
Hot people present: Laia Costa, Alia Shawkat
What is it about? A pair of queer gals spend 24 hours together to see if they really actually like each other.
Horny highlights: Well, they like each other enough to bang. Like, a lot. A lot a lot. The sex in this movie is genuinely horny-inducing: it feels authentic, raw and real, complete with mutual masturbation, and tons of vigorous hand stuff. Hot. Very hot.

Need more horny movie recos? Try these!
She’s Gotta Have It: Horny — and extremely stylish — Brooklynite Nola Darling prioritizes pleasure and juggles three (annoyingly useless) dudes in Spike Lee’s first feature film, inspiring non-monogamous folks everywhere.
The Incredible Jessica James: 2 Dope Queens co-host Jessica Williams spars with Chris O’Dowd…and the banter is even hotter than the sex. (Although the sex is also pretty hot.)
Friends with Benefits: Mila Kunis is peak babe here in a rom-com about two amigos who sate their horniness with each other, no strings attached (not to be confused with the Ashton Kutcher/Natalie Portman movie No Strings Attached, which is about the exact-same thing). Even Justin Timberlake is tolerable!
Bugsy: Warren Beatty and Annette Bening got horny for each other IRL on this movie (and are still going strong three decades later) — and it’s all on-screen, baby.
Amar:You know who’s really horny? Teens. Especially Euro teens. Like, this Spanish film opens with a casual pegging!
