Admit it, this is the movie that sent you to this list. And who could blame you, as 365 Days has become the latest steamy sensation to get Netflix users excited? For the uninitiated, the film is based on the Polish novel of the same name by author Blanka Lipi? ska, telling the story of mafia don Massimo (Michele Morrone) and his captive love interest Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka.) That captivity part is most of the reason why this film has raised quite a bit of ire with some folks, but fans seem to be enjoying this movie, and its exceedingly realistic-looking sex scenes.
19. Gaspar Noe’s Love
By reputation alone, Gaspar Noe has never been shy about showing human sexuality, and all of the pieces and parts that make up the experience.

Be prepared for a lot of discussions if you watch this one with your significant other.
20. Friendzone
Netflix has invested a lot into its international titles, and Friendzone is one of the many stellar French films available on the platform. Directed by Charles Van Tieghem, Friendzone is a rom-com about a guy name Thibault who has a plethora of female friends, many of whom he once dated, but no real prospects. Friendzone is to France what comedy movies like Just Friends are to the United States. It’s packed with will-they-or-won’t-they vibes and some hilarious yet sexy scenes as Thibault tries to be more appealing to the opposite sex.
21. Lust Caution (2007)
Throughout the history of film, sex and intrigue have gone hand in hand for quite some time. Director Ang Lee’s 2007 film Lust Caution definitely binds those two themes together, as it is a historical spy thriller that adds an erotic angle to its proceedings. Inspired by the Eileen Chang written novella, and told across two sections in 1938 and 1942, we get to see a honeypot operation being waged against a governmental figure known as Mr. Yee (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) and a student radical named Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei.) Their ensuing relationship is supposed to result in an assassination attempt, but the romantic and sexual entanglements complicate things to an NC-17-rated extent.
22. Sleeping with Other People (2015)
Alison Brie & Jason Sudeikis are the leading actors in Sleeping with Other People. They shared a random one-night stand together twelve years prior and then ran into each other again after moving on and living their own lives. They attempt to maintain a platonic friendship but instead of keeping everything rated PG, they end up back in the bedroom just like the very first night they met.
23. Desire (2017)
Sex movies on Netflix like Desire do not come around often. This particular 2017 movie is all about a young woman who takes a trip to attend her sister’s wedding. She and her sister are estranged and don’t have the best relationship ever. While she’s there, she starts falling in love with the groom-to-be, despite the fact that her sister also loves him. This messy, complicated movie has several unforgettable sex scenes.
24. Blue is the Warmest Color
Another movie you’ve more than likely heard about, through various critics’ appraisals or internet message boards alike, is Blue is the Warmest Color. An almost three-hour film, based on the graphic novel by author Julie Maroh, it’s a story of two young women (Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos) who meet in high school and carry on in a relationship into their adult lives. Controversial for, among various reasons, the accusations of harsh working conditions on set, as well as a supposedly stereotypical “male gaze” depiction of a lesbian relationship, the film is still pretty explicit when compared to mainstream filmmaking.
25. Amar
A year seems like a short time to most, but in a romance like the one at the center of the Spanish film Amar, it just might not be long enough. Laura (María Pedraza) and Carlos (Pol Monen) are lovers who are young and relatively inexperienced. So naturally, throwing sex into the equation is going to be bold and experimental, with the potential for complication and massive heartbreak. Cited as being intensely romantic, with an overall sadness starting to creep in as time goes on, writer/director Esteban Crespo put his characters through their paces as their torrid coupling starts to unravel.
