#7 Malcolm McDowell & Christine Noonan My fellow Sex Gourmets, today we take a look at Lindsay Anderson’s classic ‘If…’ (1968). Here, we have a rare exemplary of a sex scene managing the impossible limbo between half-way hinted sex and a pure animalistic attack. The semester has just started at one of the renowned grey …
#1 Julie Christie & Donald Sutherland There is nothing more satisfying and enjoyable than seeing sex translate well on screen. After watching many actors lock crotches and dance the dance, finding that one scene that stands out above the others is actually quite a hard task! How many times have we seen the classic throw …
#9 Naomi Watts & Laura Harring. Mulholland Drive is the gift that keeps on giving. Like most of David Lynch’s non-linear storylines, there is something new to be seen or deduced with each viewing. Long before Black Mirrors ‘Bandersnatch’ got everyone’s panties in a twist, Lynch had been inviting us all to choose our own endings by travelling through …
#8 Jack Nicholson & Jessica Lange Lana Turner described this remake of James M. Cain’s novel (1931) as ‘pornographic trash‘. Having portrayed the alluring Cora Smith already in Tay Garnett’s 1946 remake of the same novel, she seemed qualified to say this, despite not seeing the remake in completion herself. The novel is steamy and fierce. …
#6 Robert DeNiro and Bridget Fonda Tarantino’s Jackie Brown is my AK-47. Accept no substitutes. Aside from the slickness of the script, the funky unstoppable score throughout, the film just exudes sex and style. There is not much to say about the 10 second sex scene between Robert De Niro and Bridget Fonda, but its …
#5 Jeremy Irons & Juliette Binoche Having written four previous pieces on sex scenes which have toasted my loins, the time has come to vent spleen on a film where I have been left both frigid and entertained in the most unexpected way. And, it is with an amused and a slightly annoyed disposition that …
#4 Mickey Rourke & Lisa Bonet Never before has a film captivated me as much as Angel Heart. At an early age I started a polygamous relationship with it, marrying three of my favorite things: Mickey Rourke, the Occult and Chicken. My relationship with the latter is really quite simple, each Sunday a chicken is …
#3 Adèle Exarchopoulos & Léa Seydoux ‘I miss you. I miss not touching each other. Not seeing each other, not breathing in each other. I want you. All the time. No one else.’ This quote sets the scene in ‘Blue is the Warmest Color’. A vivid and beautiful story about young love which is both …
#2 Maria Bello & Viggo Mortensen Marriage can do terrible damage to the libido for the less imaginative of couples. The humdrum of life subtly taking over, missionary being the only option on the menu, or perhaps the kinkier of couples introducing a new friend, rubber or otherwise to their sex play. Thankfully, our two …
