Behind the Candelabra
FYI, there's a lot of sexual tension in Behind the Candelabra. From the opening scene when Damon's character, Scott Thorson, is hit on in a bar to the first time Liberace feasts his eyes on him, it's clear everyone wants a piece of this guy. And the audience gets some too, in the much-hyped shot of the actor's backside. Aside from that, the quick nudity, bedazzled swimwear, and crotch grabs in a limousine keep the sex factor high. Still, the movie's love scenes convey a tender side to Liberace (or "Lee," as his friends call him) and Scott's relationship.
