Are These The Sexiest Movies of All Time?

23 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

There is no shortage of sex in the movies, but sometimes it does feel like there is a shortage of sexy. Over at Entertainment Weekly they have compiled the list of what they claim are the 25 sexiest movies of All-Time, and while I agree with most of their picks, I do think in a few cases they have managed to confuse love with sex (but haven't we all?). The list covers everything from full on sex flicks like 9 1/2 Weeks to more subtle fare like Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence. So first let's take a look at the films that earned a spot on EW's hall of fame, and then we'll get to five movies that get my pulse racing.

The top five is pretty much what you would expect: you've got the baseball comedy Bull Durham in the number five spot, followed by the 80's noir classic Body Heat, »

Jism - Movie Review

27 September 2009 5:16 PM, PDT | The Bollywood Ticket | See recent The Bollywood Ticket news »

'Jism' (2003): John Abraham made his debut in this unfortunately titled film (which means "Body" in Hindi), alongside Bipasha Basu, who was also fairly new to the industry at the time. The movie marked the beginning of their off-screen relationship (they’ve been together ever since) and it made them big stars because of its provocative content. But that’s the only good thing that can be said about it—it’s sexy, in a late-night Cinemax sort of way. 'Jism' is based on the 1981 Hollywood film 'Body Heat,' and one scene is lifted right out of another American movie, '9 ½ weeks' (1986). Abraham plays Kabir, a hard-drinking lawyer, and Basu plays Sonia, a femme fatale with a rich husband. In the midst of their sexually intense affair, Sonia convinces Kabir to murder her husband so they can be together and enjoy the inheritance. The »

'Project Runway' and film noir: What are your favorite femme-fatale fashions?

25 September 2009 1:24 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Last night, Project Runway went Hollywood: the designers had to create a look based on classic Hollywood genres, one of which was film noir. Althea, Louise, and Irina all picked this über cool category, and I had high hopes that the ladies would crank out some fierce femme fatale frocks. Wrong! Louise failed miserably (a 1940s actress going to a party dressed as a flapper...huh?), while Irina merely squeaked by with a too-revealing gown paired with an out-of-place poufy cape. Only Althea (whose design is pictured, left) came close to capturing the sexy, dangerous allure of screen goddesses like Barbara Stanwyck (far left) and Rita Hayworth. She even got the hair right. The challenge got me thinking about the rich history of film noir heroines and the drop-dead duds that made them so thrillingly naughty. It's hard to top Stanwyck's shoulder-padded blouses and pencil skirts — not to mention that ankle bracelet! »

Streep Nom #3, 1981

20 June 2009 5:40 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Streep at 60: Let's talk each Streep nomination and its competition.

Meryl Streep won the BAFTA, Golden Globe and the Lafca prize for her two part role in The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981) but she lost the Oscar anyway. The nominees were:

Katharine Hepburn, On Golden PondDiane Keaton, RedsMarsha Mason, Only When I Laugh

Susan Sarandon, Atlantic City

Meryl Streep, The French Lieutenant's Woman

The French Lieutenant's Woman opened.

On Golden Pond made Katharine Hepburn a four-time Oscar winner. She's still far out in front of everyone in the acting Oscar derby save Jack Nicholson who has three and could conceivably join her. He is 72 and still works far more often than Hepburn was working in her 70s when she won this.

The snubbed in '81? Sissy Spacek in Raggedy Man and Sally Field in Absence of Malice were Globe Drama nominees and Bernadette Peters was the Musical/Comedy Globe winner for Pennies From Heaven. »

Kathleen Turner and Peter Gallagher Turn Body Heat into Californication

6 April 2009 9:43 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

Californication's Hank Moody has a new literary contact and a new antagonist in the third season of Califonication, courtesy of new castmates Kathleen Turner and Peter Gallagher.

Maybe it's us, but the sultry-voiced Turner (Body Heat, War of the Roses) seems like the perfect choice to play Charlie's (Evan Handler) sexy and tough new agency head — who has a thing for him. Turner is slated to appear in 10 of the season's 12 episodes. Let the awesomely awkward sexual harassment begin!

Meanwhile, Hank (David Duchovny), who will be blundering his way through his role as a single parent to Becca (Madeleine Martin) this season, takes a new gig as a university professor. As reported last week, Numbers' Diane Farr will join the cast as a sexy teacher's assistant who gets her naughty on with Hank in several episodes.

Oc's Peter Gallagher will play a dean of students who has a contentious »
