Best Sex Scene

If I were buying a laser gun I'd definitely take the XF-3800 before I took the "Pew Pew Pew Fun Gun."

Mickey Rourke and Carré Otis in Wild Orchid.

The sex scene in Desperado with Antonio Banderas and Selma Hayek with all the candles.

WHo the hell lights candles to have sex?

The scene in Enemy at the Gates between, I think, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz. I though it was great the way they didn't attempt to 'doll' the scene but depicted their encounter as it would have been during the war; awkward, uncomfortable, and nearly impossible.

hmm, yeah! very intimate. .

As for what I consider the best sex scene (in non-porno), definitely the coupling that Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie do in Nic Roeg's creepy thriller Don't Look Now (1973).



The scene is fairly graphic, even by today's standards, especially considering they were both big stars at the time. Not only is the scene passionate and steamy, but Roeg edits it very interestingly, cross-cutting between the sweaty coitus (filmed with both actors rolling around quite convincingly completely naked in good daylight) and the mundanity of getting dressed for an evening out afterward.

This won't be a horrible spoiler as the incident happens in the opening moments of the film, but their young daughter dies, and this love scene comes not long afterward in the narrative, as they have moved to Venice, Italy for the Sutherland character's work. The sex scene, as hot as it is, reveals a good deal about these people quickly, showing how strong their bond still is when they can allow themselves to momentarily let go of the tragedy, but in the bits of them dressing revealing how they supress not only their passion but their grief as much as possible in their day-to-day activities. This is all very important, and shows why they're susceptible to the strange supernatural prophecy and disturbing visions they will soon experience.

Great, incredibly sexy scene, but also intregal to the plot and characters.

I can't find any picture of them making out inside a car. But I know, you will like this one.
