The sexiest films according to Singaporean filmmakers

Better than its predecessor, Magic Mike XXL rejoins with Mike (Channing Tatum) trying to build up his construction business after leaving the stripper life three years ago.

With well-timed dance moves and chiselled abs, Magic Mike XXL becomes a heartwarming and saucy road trip comedy adventure for those who love hyper-masculine men with hearts of gold. Sequences like Mike’s friend Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello) performing a racy dance to Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way to make a gas attendant look up from her phone is instantly iconic and sexy. 

Perhaps you will feel a shiver run through you every time you eat a peach after watching this movie.

Elio spends his summer with his professor father and mother in Italy, and is joined by Oliver, his father’s assistant, who spends the next few months with his family intending to do some research.

Johnny and Gheorghe spend the night making sense of their attraction, using intimacy and sex to open themselves up to each other.

Directed by Euphoria’s Sam Levinson, the movie shows Zendaya and Washington riding through the highs and lows together. Dubbed “the story of love,” the film depicts the filmmaker fresh off a successful premiere of a new film running into trouble with his girlfriend as issues in their relationship begin to surface, testing the strength of their love. Malcolm & Marie is beautifully shot in black-and-white, and wrapped with superficial elegance to match the characters’ insecurities on how they are perceived.

Starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the film explores one Manhattan couple’s journey through moral territory and forbidden sexual desire. It follows the events in Dr. Bill Harford’s life after he is stunned upon learning his wife, Alice, contemplated having an affair.

He also found out that one of his patients may be harbouring a deadly secret.

Even though Brangelina is no more, this movie still retains its sizzle.

Basically the definition of erotic in every imaginable way, this movie follows Sook-Hee (Tae-ri Kim), a young woman who is a maid to Lady Hideko (Min-hee Kim), a Japanese heiress living with her uncle at a country estate. Sook-Hee happens to be a thief who tries to swindle her new boss out of her fortune. However, things take a turn for the better when Sook-Hee and Hideko discover their desires for one another. The Handmaiden is also successful at making the most banal task, sensual. Aside from the blatant sex scenes, watch the movie and your dental health may just improve. 

The love story between rodeo cowboy Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and ranch hand Ennis (Heath Ledger) is something else. Hired by rancher Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid), Jack made a drunken pass at Ennis one night on Brokeback Mountain, which is reciprocated. Although Ennis married his longtime sweetheart Alma, and Jack marries a fellow rodeo rider, the two men keep up with their affair over the course of 20 years.

Forward-thinking, diverse and fun, you’ll find yourself emotionally invested in each and every character in this quirky series. This popular British comedy-drama primarily focuses on the discomfort of teenage sexuality, and it follows a group of students who create an “underground” sex therapy clinic to help other kids with their relationship woes.

Now in its third season, you’ll find that the portrayal of sex in this show is utterly realistic in a way that you’ll find yourself cringeing and laughing. Some parts of it can also be pretty hot. An excellent choice for a date night pick: you’ll chuckle and maybe, become a little bit aroused. 

We probably won't see a phenomenon like American Pie again. The raunchy sex comedy gives a hysterical look at obnoxious high schoolers making an ultimate pact: losing their virginity by prom night. Watch as they manipulate their way into the hearts of some girls, and fail spectacularly.

Another guy desperately hires someone to make up rumours about him, building himself a “reputation” among schoolmates. Sit back and enjoy this hit comedy and, oh, you’ll also never look at warm apple pie the same way again.

This raunchy drama is about one of the most innovative Japanese porn directors of all time.

The premiere episode itself depicts an overdose, and a sex scene involving choking. One scene in the second episode reportedly shows 30 penises!

We all know that the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise is basically low-key softcore porn. This modern-day erotic drama is great to watch during Valentine’s Day, together with your significant other.

If you haven’t jumped on the Bridgerton bandwagon, now is the time. A fresh perspective on historical romance, the series is based on Julia Quinn’s epic eight-part romance novel series of the same name. Taking place in the early part of the 19th century, the film is concerned with the romantic entanglements of society’s upper crust. The Netflix drama is addictive to watch, and it is full of stolen glances and whispered rumours, scandals and seductions, wounded pride and star-crossed love, lavish balls and string quartet renditions of songs.

It starts with PG scenes of many period pieces until the two main characters Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Bassett tie the knot. Now that they are free to consummate, viewers get a tasty treat when the couple cannot get their hands off of each other as they have sex in the open field, in the rain and even on a ladder.

At the same time, he fell for Maggie (Anne Hathaway), a smart and vulnerable woman who has stage one Parkinson’s. The condition, unfortunately, has no drug remedies. Solid if not spectacular, Love & Other Drugs is a sharp, yet sensitive and sexily romantic tale that's a cut above the usual cookie-cutter affairs.
