1. LAKE CONSEQUENCE (The Bath House Scene)

I may despise Billy Zane, but he sure is one lucky bastard. This ridiculously hot three-way between Zane, Joan Severance and May Karasun, is so satisfying, that I'm pretty sure I've never seen the rest of the movie. Which is fine, since other than the lengthy nude scenes this movie blows.

2. BOUND (Gershon and Tilly)

Like there could be a question about this scene? Two women that are too sexy and too smart for mainstream Hollywood getting it on in one of the smartest and most original crime films of the 1990's. Gina and Jennifer helped make being a lesbian trendy, which I think is pretty damn great.

3. THE LOVER (The Young Girl's First Time)

Jean Jacques-Annaud's explicit, steamy investigation of the sexual relationship between an innocent young British girl and an older Chinaman is one of the most overlooked films in recent history. When The Chinaman takes The Young Girl's virginity and proceeds to bath her, it is sexier than all of the film's graphic love scenes combined.

4. NOW, VOYAGER (The Smoking Scene)

Back in the days of old Hollywood there were a lot of things you couldn't do. You couldn't say pregnant, you couldn't say virgin, so, needless to say, you sure as hell couldn't show two characters having sex. Even the blatant implication of it was forbidden. Necessity is the mother of invention and that certainly holds true here. When Bette Davis and Paul Henreid "seal the deal" by suggestively lighting one another's cigarettes, the smoke rises in every conceivable way.

5. AMERICAN PIE (Biggs and Hannigan)

Their union may have been brief and crude, but when super-geek Michelle commands Jim with her oft-repeated "Say my name, bitch" line, AMERICAN PIE firmly solidified it's spot as one of the hands down funniest teen sex comedies of all time.

1. SHOWGIRLS "The Dying Fish"

Yes, of course, singling out a scene of nudity and sexual overtones in this movie is sort of like picking a favorite blade of grass from a lawnbag, but still, ridiculous staging aside, you've gotta love Elizabeth Berkley and Kyle MacLachlan's semi-synchronized swimming number, especially when Berkley's Nomi flops about in the water, experiencing conceivably the biggest - or at least most overblown - amphibious orgasm since the days of Esther Williams.

2. THE LOVER "Rugburn"

Sure, as titty movies go, this one actually has a compelling story, complex characters, and all that other good stuff. But what it also has is a lot of barenakedness, much of which highlights various regions of the lovely (and, at the time, underage) Jane March. This dedication to the displaying of Jane's boobies and other bits is best demonstrated in a scene when March's Young Girl (actual character name) visits her much-older (and titular) Lovahh, The Chinaman (Tony Leung), and she's no more than a foot in the door before they're clawing at each others' clothes and climbing all over each other, in a bit of sexual olympics which actually carries them several feet across his foyer. You may well never have sex this good. I mean, I have, but I'm talking about you.

3. OUT OF SIGHT "No Nudity Clause: The Movie!"

Sure, there's not actually any skin (at least, not any female skin) shown in this little tete-a-tete (and other things-a-other things) between George Clooney's bank robber and Jennifer Lopez's federal marshal, but that aside, the chemistry between the two, the cinematography, the editing all combine to create some serious onscreen heat. Lucky little palette cleanser for J-Lo, too, since her previous (and more graphic) onscreen bed-buddy was, gulp, Nick Nolte.

4. WHITE PALACE "Hummer: Like Nothing Else"

James Spader's the man. Seriously - Dream Lover, Crash, the upcoming Secretary ... he's like the legitimate, male equivalent of Shannon Tweed. That said, he's not really the part of the frame I'm paying attention to, especially when Susan Sarandon's Nora visits him in the middle of the night for a bit of semi-anonymous hot-and/or-heaviness.

5. BOUND "What Kind of Bees Give Milk? BOOBIES."

Did you know that this nifty 1996 thriller is actually longer than twelve minutes? For the first several times I watched it, I had no idea. Turns out that, after some serious girl-girl action involving Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon at the twelve-minute mark, there's actually a twisty, stylish and intriguing modern-day noir. Good news is BEFORE the twisty, stylish and intriguing modern-day noir, there's some serious girl-girl action involving Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon.

1. MULHOLLAND DRIVE "The Greatest Lesbian Scene Ever"

When I saw this movie, I was expecting just a cool David Lynch film. I was not expecting to see a scene so incredibly hot that I instinctively looked for a Trapper Keeper to put on my lap, should we have a fire drill. Naomi Watts and Laura Harring are very good, generous, kind people, and nobody is ever allowed to talk bad about them ever.

2. DREAM LOVER
"Madchen Amick"

The Madchen Amick why I Amicked this Madchen should be Madchen to anyone who Amicks me. I've Madchen Amicked Madchen Amick since Madchen Amick Amicked Madchen Amick. Where was I?

3. SHOWGIRLS
"Lap of Luxury"

I don't know what was sexier, Jessie from "Saved By the Bell" buck nekkid and grinding away, or Gina Gershon watching with a look that exuded extreme moistness. Probably the nudity. Always gotta side with the nudity. Why can't real lap dances be like this? Because I can't afford those upscale type places. Yet.

4. NYMPH
"Thrill of the Chasey"

Some may argue that a scene from an actual porno has no place on this list, and I almost omitted it, but frankly speaking, the type of film is all that would keep it out. Ms. Chasey Lain sells the passion (not just sex, but passion) of the scenes in a way more believable than most "legitimate" actresses, making for one of my all time favorite humpy scenes.

5. SKIN DEEP
"Duel of the Fates"

Not an erotic scene by any stretch of the imagination, but the funniest scene in the movie, possibly the only funny scene. It's probably the only reason anybody ever heard of the movie, less yet remembers the movie today. It's a clever gag involving glow in the dark condoms and some R-rated animation that makes you wonder why the rest of the movie was so uninspired.
