New year, new sexy movies.

Check out the gallery for 52 steamy, sultry flicks (a new movie for every week of the year!) to get you warmed up for a new year.
Across the Universe

When it's available: Jan. 1 [7]
The Departed
Though you may think of this film as more gory than sexy, let us remind you who headlines this 2006 Boston crime thriller: Leonardo DiCaprio [8] as a South Boston cop who goes undercover, Matt Damon [9] as a career criminal who infiltrates the Boston police department, and Mark Wahlberg [10] as a police sergeant — basically the eye-candy trifecta.
When it's available: Jan. 1 [11]
