5 Sexually Charged Movies Like Unfaithful

One way to make a thriller even better is to add a lot of sex to it. This is a great tool o hook the audience as well, because as we all well know, sex sells in just about any story. One of the best films that did this in recent memory was "Unfaithful," about a cheating wife who ends up in a twisted situation where she is covering up a murder. However, there were at least five sexually charged movies that set the stage for a film like "Unfaithful." Set your pulses to "rhumba" and get ready for some scinitillating thrills!

1. "Bound."

This Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon noir crime movie tells the story of two women who fall in love, one of whom is shacked up with a mobster who is up to no good. This first film from the Wachowski Brothers is brilliantly shot and written and there is an incredibly erotic lesbian sex scene to boot. Combine great images and beautiful women making out and you can almost guarantee and Indie classic.

2. "Body Heat."

This early '80's crime thriller stars William Hurt and Kathleen Turner, playing two people who are having an affair and plotting to kill her rich husband. It's not only a sexually charged thriller, it also makes all the characters in it question who they can actually trust, making for a lot of excellent twists and turns in the dark storyline. This may have been the height of Kathleen Turner's sexual beauty. Nowadays, she's best known as being the voice of Jessica Rabbit.

3. "The Last Seduction."

This little-known HBO film stars Linda Fiorentino as a woman who is out for herself and willing to use whatever she must to get her way. This is one of the best femme fatale characters ever and she uses her body to get her way regularly. Much like real-life femme fatales tend to do. Her combination of beauty and brains, not to mention a ruthless demeanor, makes for quite a compelling character.

4. "Fatal Attraction."

Glenn Close and Michael Douglas star in this sexually charged thriller about a man who has an affair with a woman who becomes dangerously obsessed with him. There are a number of truly passionate sex scenes and then a lot of intense violence as Glenn Close goes all lady creepy. For many, that's a perfect combination. Boiling animals tends to make audiences turn away, but this film did prety well despite that.

5. "Basic Instinct."

Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas (the lucky bastard) star in this thriller where the police are trying to catch a woman who is killing men during sex. This film has a famous scene where Sharon Stone spreads her legs for the police who are interrogating her and then sleeps with Michael Douglas though out the movie, making it an immediate box office sensation, for lack of a better word. In fact, there is sex right up until the final shot. Sharon Stone was in her prime here, and the movie is all the better for it!
