Top "Hot Movie" Picks Review

So, I am sure you are asking, what are YOUR favorites, Patty? I was just going to tell you!

These are no particular order, just off the top of my head. All are ones I love to watch over and over and OVER again and have worn out their welcome when my husband is around. There's nothing like a long weekend with the boys out camping and me and my fave DVDs. These are but five of several I like. I will do a part two and three in the future with more. I don't want to make this into a novel length essay!

1.) Cocktail (1988)
Starring a young Tom Cruise and a beautiful Elizabeth Shue, the two who meet while Tom's character is bartending in Jamaica and Elizabeth's character is vacationing there. The movie really is about greed and how far a man will go to achieve his dream and how far he will go when he finally realizes that success isn't the end all and be all of his existence. But it has a great love story as backdrop. There is no nudity whatsoever in the movie yet it is sublimely sexy. There is something about a man who realizes he loves a woman and will do anything to prove that to her that just is so hot. The characters all play off each other well, the tension is high, the "will they get together or won't they" factor is way up there and the ending is cheesy but satisfying.

Hottest Scene: When Elizabeth Shue's character's father tries to pay Tom Cruise's character off to go away but he refuses and the two, amidst her father's threats of cutting off all financial help to his daughter, leave her father's house together proving that Cruise can't be bought and that Shue is willing to walk away from her financial future to be together. It's not hot in the way a guy would think of hot but it tickles my "I wish someone would love me like that" bone. (Oh, that sounded so raunchy!)

2.) The Big Easy (1987)
Dennis Quaid has the most amazing Cajun accent in this movie. I melt when he talks even when it has nothing to do with anything hot. Dennis Quaid is a dirty cop in New Orleans (But not a terribly dirty one, just bad enough to be a bad boy in my eyes.) and Ellen Barkin is an attorney from the D.A.'s police corruption task force. The movie is actually about a bunch of murders and a crime sting but that's just fodder for me to watch Quaid and Barkin try to deny their attraction to one another. There are only a few scenes where Quaid and Barkin even touch but, when they do, whooo hooo. The tension is soooo high, I don't want the scenes to end. The scenes do end though with no nudity but the implication is clearly there.

I really like the idea of two opposites who start out hating each other ending up together. And that's what this movie gives me. Quaid oozes sexuality and Barkin is a shy, unsure woman who can't fight her attraction. Heck, who could? Er...Anyway, the movie is a good one for many reasons but I like it for the sexual tension and the sweeeeet Cajun accent that Quaid uses so persuasively.

Hottest Scene: Quaid is seducing Barkin and she's too shy to go on. He says to her, "Just relax, darlin'. This is the Big Easy. Folks have a certain way of doin' things down here," in that soft, cocky Cajun accent. Klunk. That was me hitting my husband because he never seduced me with a Cajun accent!

3. Dirty Dancing (1987)
Most women probably think this movie is hot despite the fact that there is absolutely no nudity and just a few seconds of sexual scenes. This movie follows Jennifer Grey's character as she goes from a girl to a woman and Patrick Swayze's character as he goes from a cad to a caring guy. Dancing is the backdrop for this movie and the dances are, indeed, sexy. But it's the build up of the attraction between the characters that is hot. When the two finally do get together in his cabin, their dance to "Cry to Me" would melt an iceberg. This is a great coming of age film that has a good storyline, great dancing, and, of course, the sexual tension and attraction that I find so hot.

Hottest Scene: The dance in Swayze's cabin to "Cry to Me" is by far the sexiest scene for me. It's done so well and the expressions on Swayze's face are priceless. They do end up in bed but the darn camera cuts away at their first kiss. If you want to turn up the heat even more, watch the alternate dance scene on the 20th anniversary DVD. Wow!

4.) Unfaithful (2002)
This is a naughty film but so incredibly hot! Diane Lane is happily married to a dorky Richard Gere in this film and they have a perfect little house with a perfect little son and a perfect little life. When a windstorm knocks everything Lane's character has in her hands into the road and she scrapes her knee, her life changes. She meets Olivier Martinez's character, a young, extremely hot Frenchman who helps take care of her knee and awakens feelings in her that she didn't know she had.

They soon embark in an affair filled with tension, guilt, chances, and good ole lust. No nudity here either but there are several incredibly hot scenes that don't need nudity to convey the point. The ending is absolutely absurd and ridiculous but who cares? I watch it for the stuff that happens before the absurdity comes into play. Although infidelity probably shouldn't be hot, Lane's character does a good job of showing her conflict and Gere does a good job of boring the life out of everyone making it seem like Lane would be crazy NOT to sneak off with Martinez. I know, I know, it's wrong. But it's just a movie. So :-P

Hottest Scene: There are a couple of amazing scenes but, for me, the scene where the two are arguing and yelling at one another and Lane's character busts out of Martinez's apartment and he follows, pinning her against the wall and turning her anger into pure lust is really a hot one. It's graphic in its intent but not really on the screen. Who doesn't love make up sex? Even if it is in the public hallway of an apartment with your younger lover who you're having a torrid affair with behind your husband's back. Hmm...

5.) Two Moon Junction (1988)
This movie is so cheesy yet so hot! Richard Tyson plays a very sexy carny and Sherilyn Fenn plays a very sexy rich southern belle. Fenn is about to be married to a handsome, wholesome rich young man and her life is planned out for her. That is, until she meets Tyson's character at the carnival. She tries to ignore her attraction to him but that doesn't last long. Soon, she and Tyson are embroiled in a secret hot affair. As her wedding looms closer, Fenn has to decide whether to leave her rich roots behind and be with the man who pushes her buttons or marry her high school sweetheart and live in the style in which she has become accustomed.

This movie does have some nudity but only on the part of Fenn who exposes her breasts a few times and does one nude scene but not in a truly sexual context. There is simulated sex too but nothing raunchy (at least not to me anyway). The end is absolutely perfect as far as I am concerned and is quite a twist from what is expected.

Hottest Scene: This is tough one. There are many hot scenes in this movie. I actually think the hottest scene doesn't even involve physical contact. The two are fighting with Tyson's carny character and Fenn's spoiled rich girl's character hurling insults at one another on the balcony of a seedy motel. He's has just a sheet wrapped around his waist and she is stalking off to her car furious that he flirted with the motel maid. There must be about 20 people watching the argument. There is crude language in this argument but not throughout the film. I obviously censored the words here.
April (Fenn's character): I don't even know you, yet you just come inside my house, uninvited, and take my life away!
Perry (Tyson's character): Maybe you don't know it, but you did invite me!
April: Oh, go to hell!
Perry: Oh, sweetheart!
April: Oh, f**k you!
Perry: Princess!
April: C***s**ker!
Perry: Sugar!
April: M**herf**ker!
Perry: Sweetpea!
April: B*stard!
Perry: Be careful what you say because people around here might think we love each other.
April: You can rot in hell for all I care!
Perry: You're sexy when you're angry.
April: You b*stard!
Perry: You already said that! (Laughs)
After she gets in her car, Perry (Tyson's character) says to the onlookers, "Sorry for the disturbance folks, but that is one special wacko chick." They all end up applauding and he and his dimples take a bow.

Swoon. That's all I can say. Swoon.

There you have five of the movies I watch when I want a little titillation along with some decent storylines and some (not all) good acting. These are older films because *I* am older and I was coming of age around that time myself in many ways.

There are a number of other films I think are hot and I will be back in a while with those. In the meantime, tell me a movie that you think is hot. It doesn't have to be the traditional love story. It doesn't even have to be a love story at all! Heck, I thought Lethal Weapon was one of the hottest movies ever and there is not a bit of anything sensual or sexual in it. Some movies just have that "hot" factor that is different for everyone. So spill it. I want to expand my horizons and see some different movies! No porn please. That bores me to sleep. Men, I want to hear YOUR hot picks too!

Until next time!

Thanks for reading.
