Top 10 Worst Movie Sex Scenes according to Manchester Online. I haven't seen any of these movies except Showgirls, which I've tried to blank from my mind.

I've only seen the Matrix one, and yeah, it was pretty bad.

Oooh, let's talk about good sex scenes. Like Harvey Keitel and Holly Hunter in "The Piano". Or Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon in "Bound".

Bull Durham also had some fun stuff...

Whew, is it hot in here?

You had me at "Madonna, Joan Collins, Jeremy Irons and Keanu Reeves."

They missed Jude Law and Rachel Weisz in Enemy at the Gates -- filthy, muddy, smelly sex between Russian snipers in WWII, wide-eyed and gasping while making out between sleeping fellow soldiers. Shockingly unsexy, in spite of the hotness of the actors.

Best sex scenes? Hmm.

There's one in the otherwise miserable Point of No Return that got me hot and bothered, but then I'm a Bridget Fonda fan. (Well, I was until Monkeybone. That was unforgivable.)

Ooh, and there was a lot to like in True Romance.

How did that horribly awkward scene between William Macy and Maria Bello in The Cooler not make the list?

posted by muddgirl 30 September | 15:17

I've seen all but 2 of those and think it's a pretty accurate list.

My favorite sex scenes are in The Player, The Hairdresser's Husband, and Two Girls and a Guy.

Maria Bello and Macy in The Cooler was odd, yeah, but Bello's recent sex scene with Viggo in History of Violence is worse if only because it doesn't belong in the film, makes little sense, and is pretty cliche.

Two Girls and a Guy: oh yeah. That scene in the loft between Heather Graham and Robert Downey, Jr.? Hot. Angry sex.

emma thompson in peter's friends
as a good bad sex scene

the dreamers was pretty asexual
breaking the waves was good scenes for horrible sex

i wonder if people have more bad sex or merely unmemorable sex.

I can't believe I've never seen ANY of the flicks in the "bad sex scenes" list, but I haven't.

Being a horror movie kinda guy, I usually hide my eyes during the sex scenes because I know the slasher is about to git 'em.

I'm with the Specklet re: The Piano. I'm putting Bound on the Netflix list, based on her opinion.

And yet another stupid family tradition- wenever something a bit racy comes on TV and the parents are around, we all cover our eyes and scream, "bad fake sex!! Bad fake sex!". I still do that, and it does not go over well in theatres.

"Nine 1/2 Weeks" isn't on there? I don't actually know if it really should be, because I couldn't ever bring myself to actually watch it, but it seems like a likely candidate since it's all about kinky sex with - ew, ew, ew - Mickey Rourke.

Did I say "ew"?
