April showers bring May flowers . . . and apparently a whole new crop of sexy movies on Netflix. From erotic thrillers [1] to tantalizing romances [2], there's a sexy movie [3] available for everyone this month, no matter your vice. Sure, the days should be spent enjoying the Spring weather, but cool nights call for a hot movie to warm things up, and we've got all the films that will do the job. It may not be warm enough to turn on the air conditioning just yet, but after you watch one of these 25 sexy flicks, you just might need it.
Revolutionary Road
We like to think of this movie as a "What if Jack from Titanic [5] had lived?" fantasy, as it reunites Leonardo DiCaprio [6] and Kate Winslet [7] as a 1950s couple trapped in the suburbs (and in a marital slump) who have dreams of creating a more exciting life together elsewhere.
When it's available: May 1 [8]
Taking Lives
You know that anything starring Angelina Jolie [9] and Ethan Hawke [10] is going to be steamy, but you'll be amazed how sexy a story about an FBI agent investigating a recent string of murders and the art dealer who claims to be a eyewitness can really be.
When it's available: May 1 [11]
My Week With Marilyn
This biographical drama follows the true story of the week The Prince and the Showgirl production assistant Colin Clark spent with sex-symbol film star Marilyn Monroe in the British countryside, and we'll just say that Eddie Redmayne and Michelle Williams [12] were born to play these roles.
When it's available: May 30 [13]
Obsessed
In this psychological thriller, Idris Elba and Beyoncé play married couple Derek and Sharon Charles, and they make as hot and perfect a couple as you would imagine — that is, until the new girl at work (played by Heroes' Ali Larter [14]) starts toying with Derek's mind (and hardcore stalking him and Sharon).

The New Romantic
Best known for playing Alyssa in The End of the F***ing World, Jessica Barden stars in this sexy comedy as a journalism student in need of some inspiration (and some cash) who decides to masquerade as a sugar baby for a wealthy older man, hoping the resulting story will earn her a win in an upcoming journalism competition. Luckily, Camila Mendes is happy to show her the ropes.

Starring Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez, Pitch Perfect's Brittany Snow [17], and She's Gotta Have It's DeWanda Wise, this comedy tells the story of aspiring music journalist Jenny (played by Rodriguez), whose boyfriend of nine years unceremoniously dumps her as soon as she lands her dream job in San Francisco because he's not willing to make long distance work. However, her two BFFs, Blair and Erin (played by Snow and Wise, respectively), are there to help her get over her ex and give her one last crazy (and sexy) weekend in New York City before she moves across the country.

The Ugly Truth
Katherine Heigl [19] stars in this rom-com as an unlucky-in-love TV producer named Abby, who's desperate to woo the sexy doctor who just moved next door, while Gerald Butler costars as the crass TV celebrity who's determined to help Abby land the doctor by proving just how little she understands about men.

The Lives of Others
This German Oscar-winning drama tells the story of a dedicated Stasi officer who 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 [25], Salma Hayek [26], 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
Starring Rachel Evan Wood and Jim Sturgess as Lucy and Jude, this trippy Beatles-themed musical romance places two star-crossed lovers in the midst of the Vietnam War, the turbulence of the late 1960s, and the most incredible soundtrack you'll ever hear.

One Day
Starring the incredibly sexy Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway [36], this movie takes a working-class idealist and a rich playboy and visits them on the same day each year for 20 years until they finally, inevitably, realise just how in love they are.

Cam
In this new Netflix psychological horror film set in the world of webcam pornography, Madeline Brewer from The Handmaid's Tale [38] stars as an erotic cam girl who finds her popular channel hijacked by a look-alike. What's even better: Cam is one of the few films about sex work written by a former sex worker, resulting in a story that doesn't glamorize, glorify, or romanticize the profession.
