"Basic Instinct"

"Basic Instinct" has one of the most famous scenes in film history. You know, the one where a panty-less Sharon Stone slowly uncrosses her legs while wearing a short dress. The neo-noir murder mystery is full of intrigue, drama, and oh yes — sex. Catherine Tramell (Stone) is a suspect in a murder, but rather than sit back and take the questioning and accusations, she takes charge and seduces the detective, Nick Curran (Michael Douglas). The two engage in a steamy affair, all while the murder case starts to unravel around them. The killing doesn't stop, and neither does the sex.
