  1. Henry and June - A beautiful period film based on the lives of authors Henry Miller and Anais Nin. I've been, dare I say, "inspired" by the erotic writings of Nin and Miller for many years, and this film based on the true story of their illicit love affair is full of sensual and erotic scenes. To top it all off, it takes place in 1920's Paris, so it's a sexual feast for the eyes with the women in garter belts and stockings, marcel waves and crimson lips. The scene where Anais and June go to a smoky lesbian club is enthralling and oh-so-kinky!

  2. Queen Margot - Isabelle Adjani is certainly one of the most stunning women to ever be captured on film. This epic French film, derived from actual historic events, showcases her stunning beauty against a backdrop of violence, intrigue, deception, taboo sex and royal scandal. The moment where Queen Margot disguises herself and takes to the street for carnal sex with a stranger is unforgettable.

  3. The Night Porter - A cult-favorite story of forbidden love and deep shame, along with incredible imagery. I can't tell you how many fetishists have been inspired by Charlotte Rampling's risque dance as she wears nothing but suspenders, opera gloves and a Nazi soldier's cap. So controversial, yet extremely arousing.

  4. The Postman Always Rings Twice - I love both the original 1946 version with Lana Turner, and the remake with Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange. Animalistic and dangerous sex at its finest!

  5. Gone With The Wind - Arguably the finest film ever made. Epic, tragic, romantic, and classic, with rich opulence and breathtaking beauty in every scene.... Along with a lesson to every woman who fails to see the love she has right in front of her, and instead tries to force herself on a married man.

  6. The Piano - A hauntingly beautiful film set in the mid 1800s. One scene in particular has always stayed with me. There is a seemingly innocent moment with no sex, no nudity...yet it's riveting and fraught with sensual innuendo . Who could imagine that the caress of a bit of skin showing through a tiny hole in a black stocking could incite such lust by a contemporary viewer?

  7. In the Mood for Love - A lusciously photographed film about the intimate bond formed between two people who discover that their spouses are cheating on them, and although they fantasize of having their revenge by having an affair with each other, they never manage to betray their spouses.

  8. The Seven Year Itch - Starring Marilyn Monroe as the most perfect blonde bombshell the world will ever see! Full of sexual implication, but what could be hotter than scene after scene displaying Marilyn's knockout figure combined with her character's naivety and innocence?

  9. Orlando - An amazing and gorgeous film about the war of the sexes. Intoxicating and lovely. Gender-bending has never been so beautiful!

  10. Young Frankenstein - The scene where "the monster" first makes love to Madeline Kahn's character may very well be the first sex scene I remember seeing as a little girl! It's hilarious!
