But if you don’t want to spend most of your night scrolling through a seemingly endless list, then you’ve come to the right place…
Take a look at more than two dozen racy, hot-n-heavy, and incredibly romantic movies from new Netflix movies to outrageous period pieces and everything in between, and just about anything and everything in between.

Based On: On Swift Horses by Shannon Pufahl
What It’s About: The lives of a married couple are thrown into disarray when the husband’s free-spirited brother returns from the Korean War and forces them to look at life in a different way.

What To Expect: One of the best high school comedies of all time, Fast Times at Ridgemont High has influenced generations of audiences and filmmakers with its hilarious yet personal chronicle of a day in the life of a teenager.

What To Expect: A great music biopic based on Mötley Crüe, a band known for their backstage escapades as much as their music, it was all but guaranteed that this 2019 Netflix original would be an over-the-top and sensationalized recounting of one of rock’s most notorious outfits.
