Best Erotic Thriller Movies Teach Us About The Genre

There's something about taking time out of your day to see a sensuous film that makes you feel like you're doing something wrong but nice.
While these films no longer get as much attention as they once did, they were once considered event films.
Parents would hire babysitters and go to the theater, anticipating a night away from their children as well as a time to renew their relationship... and, maybe, a night of the murder.
The majority of these films also include killings, which is not surprising.
While sexual thrillers are still being produced, they are not as popular as they once were in the United States.
However, this indicates that they are ready for a return.
Hollywood operates in cycles, and your next screenplay or picture might be the one that kicks off a chain reaction that spreads across the industry.
A sexy thriller requires that the writer grasp the tropes, knows the greatest films that have come before him/her, and can tap into all of the sexual suspense for the benefit of his/her characters and narrative.
In the words of Robert Barton Palmer, "the so-called sexual thriller is a direct descendent of the classic film noir," which was "perhaps the most popular genre in the 1990s."
If noir was the birthplace of the sexual thriller, we have now had decades in which it has had the opportunity to completely develop in our society.
Steamy thrillers are part of the thriller genre, and they typically include aspects of suspense, mystery, and other elements of intrigue.
We may enjoy all we like about the thriller genre while simultaneously being sexually stimulated by the finest erotic thrillers out there.
The erotic thriller is a genre that exists at the confluence of romance, softcore sex cinema, and thriller genres.
The sexual thriller film is a subgenre of the thriller film genre.
It is distinguished by the presence of a fantasy element and the presence of illegal love adventures.
In these kinds of films, softcore sexuality, some nudity, and erotic activities are often shown.
While the degree of explicitness varies from film to film, these films are structured around sex and often include sex as a major narrative device.
The raunchy nature of this genre is what propelled it to extreme popularity in the 1980s and 1990s.
It’s believed that over 300 erotic thriller films were produced in the United States alone throughout the 1990s. However, it is not just sex that is in demand.
There should also be a romantic aspect to the story.

Last Tango In Paris (1972)

The Conformist, a film by Bernardo Bertolucci, was excluded from this list only based onthe ts primary premise, which is that individual desire is repressed, disregarded, or eclipsed by political duty, if not also emotional and physical repression, and therefore cannot be fulfilled.
In contrast, two years later, the director hired one of the most well-known actors in the world to portray the polar opposite of this scenario: a guy who has been plagued by tragedy and has no choice but to escape into sexual depravity.
Because of the controversy surrounding the "butter" scene and actress Maria Schneider's portrayal of the event (she said that she "felt a bit violated" during the planned sequence of simulated intercourse), the performances and the film as a whole will, and maybe should, be seen differently.
However, as a director who has consistently examined sexuality as (alternatively) a façade and a window into people's inner lives, it remains an important and serious work that has elevated eroticism to the forefront of popular narrative.

The Hunger (1983)

Tony Scott made his directorial debut with this sexually charged story about, well, the most attractive vampire couple in eternity (David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve) trying to facilitate their legacy, and longevity, in a time of science and affluence, just a year after Paul Schrader rebranded Jacques Tourneur's Cat People as a sexual parable for the post-disco era.
Scott dials up the drama as he shows Miriam (Deneuve) seeking solace in the arms of scientist Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon), while John (Bowie) searches for a solution to his deterioration.
I'm not sure where the movie lands-clearly, the producers wanted something more open-ended, if nonsensical, to leave room for a possible sequel-but the sexual energy between Deneuve and Sarandon is undeniable, leaving in its wake one of cinema's great promising quandaries.

The Piano (1993)

Jane Campion wrote and directed this remarkable picture about a mute Scotswoman called Ada (Holly Hunter) who is sold into marriage to a New Zealand frontiersman (Sam Neill), only to fall in love with a forester named Baines (Harvey Keitel) recruited as day labor.
As Baines trades with Ada, first for her piano, then for physical tenderness that develops into a deeper and more meaningful love, what starts as a tale of slavery for this woman becomes a voyage of liberation.
Hunter bestows on Ada a desperate power that becomes more dignified as she recognizes her autonomy and, ultimately, mastery over these two men who had perplexed and frightened her.
Campion crafts an erotic feminist masterwork that is both seductive and profound, set in a time and place when gender norms were strictly enforced.

Y-Tu-Mama-Tambien (2001)

Alfonso Cuaron directed and co-wrote this personal drama about two adolescent best friends (Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal) who embark on a revelatory voyage of self-discovery with an older Spanish lady (Maribel Verdu) over the summer before college before becoming an Oscar-winning pioneer.
The concept implies a Penthouse forum post come to life, or a record of adolescent antics, with plenty of sex and sex talk.
Cuaron, on the other hand, delves deep into the lives of the young boys, revealing their social status, cultural clashes, entitlements, and anxieties as they are revealed by the opportunities that unfold in front of them with this older woman, who appears restrained at first but proves to be more honest and mature than either of them, in a won the that is raunchy, tender, and enlightening for them and the audiences.

Emmanuelle 2 (1975)

Just Jaeckin's Emmanuelle and the hundreds of namesake copycats and imitators (shedding letters in her name like pieces of clothing) established a global legacy of 1970s erotica in which well-heeled young ladies toured the globe, slept with gorgeous, nameless lovers, and defied society's taboos.
Emmanuelle 2 (subtitled The Joys of a Woman) offered the title heroine autonomy and empowerment unlike almost any previous episode, including the first film, even though the confessional book on which this flagship series is based wasn't written by the actual Emmanuelle Arsan but her husband.
Francis Jacobetti, a photographer for the French erotica magazine Lui, effectively pioneered the sexy soft-lit look that became synonymous with nudie imagery of the time, and on film, he makes actress Sylvia Kristel look more gorgeous than ever as she slips in and out of bed with men and women, this time taking a protégé in a travelogue for libertines and those lucky, or fearless, enough to satisfy their sexual desires.
The imagery and Pierre Bachelet's dreamy soundtrack alone are worth seeing, but every sex scene is simply burning hot.

Basic Instinct (1992)

Paul Verhoeven challenged sexual taboos in his home country with Turkish Delight, Spetters, and The Fourth Man before breaking into Hollywood with Robocop.
As Michael Douglas' homicide detective Nick Curran falls in love with Sharon Stone's uninhibited novelist and murder suspect Catherine Tramell, Basic Instinct felt like an act of provocation, testing the limits of an audience's embrace of melodrama and even camp (further pushed, to almost parodic effect, with Showgirls).
As Michael Douglas' homicide detective Nick Curran gets drawn into a sexual relationship with Sharon Stone's uninhibited novelist and murderer.
While critics were correct in pointing out how Joe Eszterhas' screenplay repeated portrayals of gay and bisexual characters as dangerous or mentally unstable, what remains unique, appealing, and even empowering is Stone's Tramell's unapologetic indulgence in her own sexuality, objectification of her male partner, and control both in and out of the bedroom.

Sex And Lucia (2001)

Lucia (Paz Vega) and her lover Lorenzo (Tristan Ulloa) tell a tale about past and present, sex and love, clarity and uncertainty, and the events that characterize their relationship, many of which are sexual or sex-related.
Lucia, played by Vega, takes command of their relationship, but there is genuine reciprocity as they offer one other pleasure, discovering each other's bodies as a matter of muscle memory (no pun intended), and creating key moments in their emotional lives.
Medem's film highlights the numerous unexpected and yet inextricable links between sex and events that occur outside of intimacy, driving development and transformation, as it examines their sexual, emotional, and creative lives.

9 ½ Weeks (1986)

Many of Adrian Lyne's films are erotically charged tales, not all of which are as effective as the others, but all of them are unique and insightful in their own way. For example, his version of Lolita is, in my view, a better adaptation of Nabokov's novel.
By today's standards, his follow-up to Flashdance, 9 12 Weeks, seems practically mundane, but when Lyne portrayed these activities with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke, gender roleplaying games, having public sex, and using food as an aphrodisiac were all entirely novelties, at least within the mainstream film.
What's particularly notable is how the film doesn't treat these characters' sexual chemistry and their relationship's relative health as interchangeable; in the end, it doesn't argue that their sometimes overlapping dysfunction is a sign of emotional commitment or deeper love, but rather a temporary conveyance and amplification of desire that is rich and satisfying, even if only for a short time.

The Lover 1992

Jean-Jaques Annaud portrays a romance between a young girl and a rich Chinese man that develops and grows as the two struggle with their wants and deal with their position and responsibilities, based on Marguerite Duras' semi-autobiographical book.
Jane March's role, the Young-Girl (her sole name in the film), brings nubile sexuality to their connection as well as shrewd control to their meetings, even as she battles deeper emotions for the beautiful older guy she sees every day after school.
Tony Leung Ka-Fai, who plays "The Chinaman," is as attractive and graceful as March, and he presents an enticing picture of male sexuality (and sensuality) that is rarely depicted on film.
March's unbridled sensuality landed her a leading part opposite Bruce Willis in filmmaker Richard Rush's erotic thriller Color of Night, but it was her radiant humanity in this tragic love tale that grabbed viewers, not her nakedness.

Crash (1996)

The main flaw with David Cronenberg's adaptation of this J.G. Ballard book is that it shares a title with a Best Picture Oscar winner that deservedly received more attention while having much less to say about people.
Cronenberg's mastery of Ballard's writing does not necessarily make the characters' desire for death, particularly sex associated with automobile accidents, one that we will or even should share.
Rather, it's how he explains why it drives and manipulates people, and how he invites the audience to examine their peculiar cravings.
The fact that it also features an incredibly attractive cast in various stages of undress, including James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, and Holly Hunter, only adds to the parallel lines of shapeliness and beauty that exist between a glossy vehicle chassis and the human bodies seeking satisfaction in, on, and around it.
