If you're looking for a sultry movie to keep you warm in 2020 [1], then look no further than HBO Now. Whether you're in the mood for an erotic '80s thriller or a rom-com with a dash of steaminess, there's a sexy movie streaming on HBO Now [2] for you. Each movie on this list has a different raunch level — some offer up sex scenes that are so hot [3], they might just make you blush, while others bring the heat through stolen glances and forbidden caresses. The one thing they all have in common is that they are seriously sexy and endlessly watchable.
54
Set in New York City's Studio 54 at the height of its popularity during the '70s, 54 follows Ryan Phillippe [4]'s character Shane as he ruthlessly claws his way to the top by any means necessary. His tactics lead to steamy scenes with Breckin Meyer's Greg and Neve Campbell's Julie.
Watch 54 on HBO Now. [5]
The Aftermath
Don't let the chilly atmosphere of The Aftermath fool you — the love triangle featuring a British colonel, his wife, and a hot German widower warms things up nicely. Watch out for a scene that's so racy it rivals star Keira Knightley [6]'s library sex scene from Atonement.

Alfie
Jude Law [8] as a Lothario leads to sultry dancing, intense make-out sections, and all manner of mischief in Alfie. Even when he tries to settle down, the sparks between him and his sort-of girlfriend Julie (Marisa Tomei) continue to fly.
Watch Alfie on HBO Now. [9]
Black Widow
Black Widow plays out like an early (and less progressive) version of Killing Eve [10]. The movie finds a detective and a serial killer seducing the same man in an erotic game of cat-and-mouse.

Body Heat
Hotness, thy name is Kathleen Turner. The '80s star smoulders as a married woman who strikes up a dangerous affair with a lawyer trying to solve a murder in her small town.
Watch Body Heat on HBO Now. [12]
Cat People
A movie about people who transform into big cats may not sound sexy in a post-Cats world, but trust me, this '80s classic allows the characters' animal instincts to bleed into their human interactions with uninhibited results that are all kinds of hot.
Watch Cat People on HBO Now. [13]
Chocolat
Chocolate's reputation as an aphrodisiac leaves a small town sexually liberated in the delectable Chocolat. Add in a slow-burn romance between a single mother and a mysterious stranger, and you have a recipe for one of the sexiest movies ever.

Closer
Closer is all about hot people — played by Julia Roberts [15], Natalie Portman [16], Law, and Clive Owen [17] — falling in and out (and in and out again) of love with each other. In between the breakups, their impetuous partner-swapping includes plenty of scenes that will leave viewers hot and bothered.
Watch Closer by HBO Now. [18]
Colour of Night
OK, this classic Bruce Willis [19] film is about a therapist dealing with his patients being murdered one by one, which is the opposite of sexy. But he's also involved in the kind of affair that leads to rain-soaked kisses and clothing being ripped off, so it's a give and take situation.
Watch Colour of Night on HBO Now. [20]
Crazy Stupid Love
Crazy Stupid Love doesn't serve up non-stop sexiness like some of the movies on this list, but seeing Ryan Reynolds [21] and Emma Stone [22] recreate the Dirty Dancing lift is sexier than any sex scene I've ever seen.
Watch Crazy Stupid Love on HBO Now. [23]
Dangerous Liaisons
Do you like Cruel Intentions? Well then buckle up, because Dangerous Liasons is based on the book that also inspired the modern movie. And yes, this film's bored, rich royals hatch a seduction plan that more than lives up to the one in the '90s classic.

Gia
Based on a true story, Gia stars Angelina Jolie [27] in one of her earliest roles. She plays the titular model who falls for a woman named Linda (Elizabeth Mitchell). Fair warning: Gia's story ends tragically, but her romance with Linda adds major heat to the movie.

Head in the Clouds
A trio of roommates/lovers are at the centre of this lush World War II drama. And the fact that they're played by Charlize Theron [29], Stuart Townsend, and Penélope Cruz only adds to the simmering hotness of this threesome.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
There's not much sex in this battle of wits, but Matthew McConaughey [33] and Kate Hudson [34] don't need to slip between the sheets to give viewers palpitations. Whether they're sizing each other up during a card game or angrily making out, they ooze sexiness.

Mary Queen of Scots
Two young queens fight for control of an empire in Mary Queen of Scots. But exquisite power plays aside, the movie also includes an oral sex scene that led to think pieces and plenty of debate about historical accuracy.

Moulin Rouge!
Moulin Rouge! is another movie that holds back on the sex, but still manages to be insanely sexy.
