Wet Hot American Summer

The Lives of Others
This German Oscar-winning drama tells the story of a dedicated Stasi officer decides to spy on a playwright and his famous actress girlfriend when he doubts their loyalty to the Communist party, but the longer the officer watches them, the more he warms to them — a sentiment that becomes complicated when his superior orders him to eliminate the playwright so he can have the beautiful actress for himself.

Studio 54
Not to be confused with the late-'90s flick 54 starring Ryan Phillippe [17], Salma Hayek [18], and Neve Campbell, this documentary-style movie offers an inside look at the real Studio 54, the pleasure-seeking epicentre of 1970s New York City that would become known as the greatest (and sexiest) nightclub of all time.

Across the Universe

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 [25] as a South Boston cop who goes undercover, Matt Damon [26] as a career criminal who infiltrates the Boston police department, and Mark Wahlberg [27] as a police sergeant — basically the eye-candy trifecta.

Battle

Cam
In this new Netflix psychological horror film set in the world of webcam pornography, Madeline Brewer from The Handmaid's Tale [44] stars as an erotic cam girl who finds her popular channel hijacked by a look-alike.

Adam Sandler [59] isn't usually the first name that comes to mind when you think "drama," but this 2004 film about single mother Flor Moreno (Paz Vega), who finds work with a well-off family (of whom Adam is the patriarch), is a smart film about culture clashes — not to mention a pretty sexy one.
