Don’t Look Now may have been a horror movie with one of the scariest plot twists any of us had ever seen (don’t watch it with the lights off), but it also featured a prolonged sex scene which you can now only find on PornHub. The full-frontal (and the cuddling!) was allegedly so real that audiences couldn’t tell the difference. Warren Beatty, Christie’s boyfriend at the time, apparently even demanded the scene be cut. He wasn’t the only one. Your parents definitely didn’t want you to see this. (But they sure as hell talked about it.)

Sometimes a great love scene needs no kissing. Not even dialogue. In this scene from the 1974 classic (the one Leo’s not in), the chemistry between the stars is so palpable that audiences left the theaters sighing and wondering when their great romances would begin.

Now a staple of “indie date night cinema,” The Passenger is the story of a man who abandons his identity in order to take on a new life. In one of the film’s most iconic scenes, he and Schneider (never named, just “the girl”) discuss what it would be like to be blind as she tenderly caresses his face. If that doesn’t give you the ASMR tingles, then the next segment, which features the pair tightly caressing as they discuss the depressing state of the world will certainly make you want to reach for your own special someone.

Considered tame by today’s standards — they did a version of this on FOX a few years ago! — this movie about a sex cult from a small planet called Transexual (in the Transylvania galaxy) was ahead of its time for the 1970s. And if we have to choose just one love scene that turned oohs into “OH!”s, it’s gotta be this one where Janet cheats on her husband with Rocky while the rest of the cast pleasures themselves in their own unique ways.

This film about a Brooklyn (before it was cool) boy coming-of-age is chock-full of both love and sadness. But nothing quite wowed the audience like this scene in which John Travolta’s Tony and Karen Lynn Gorney’s Stephanie let their bodies do the talking. Though the relationship quickly soured due to Tony’s inability to take “no” for answer when it came to consent (gross, dude), audiences were breathless when these two stepped out onto the disco floor.

If you’re looking for the genesis of the “don’t have sex in horror movies” rule, it started right here in the original Halloween. Teenagers are murdered right and left after “doing the deed” in this movie. None more gruesomely than Lynda and her boyfriend, Bob. You know what, though? We’ll take our chances.

Have you ever heard of this film starring Helen Mirren and Malcom McDowell? Probably not! It was panned as “trash” when it was released and an entire 50 minutes had to be cut for the movie to even receive an R-rating. Doesn’t matter, because the love scenes depicted in this movie were too controversial for theater-going audiences. It was supposed to be high art, but is now just considered very, very expensive porn. (Not that that’s a bad thing. Have you seen Pirates?)

Before he was the John in Pretty Woman, Richard Gere was the hustler in this film, which pushed the limits of how much sex big studios could get away with on the silver screen.

You definitely didn’t want your parents walking in on you watching this “erotic thriller” about two sex-obsessed people who just can’t get enough.

There are a lot of scenes that were controversial (this movie originally had an x-rating) in this comedy about high school kids getting real about sex. The one that kept people talking? The one in which Reinhold fantasizes about Cates while, uh, loving himself. And true to high school, it just gets more awkward.

Though she had a body double for some of the dancing in this film (and the iconic red dress isn’t technically about love), Jennifer Beals stripped and ate seafood all on her own in this scene where she’s trying to seduce her date. Wonder how many of our parents tried it.

This film starred Prince as a kid from a broken home just trying to make it in the music business and live happily ever after with his girlfriend — who’s an aspiring sex writer. Also, they’re really into sex ballet. This is sex ballet, right?

Now, a movie about two women falling in love is something to celebrate. In 1985? This kiss set tongues wagging.

Does it count if it’s terrifying? Because every love scene in this movie — about a guy obsessed with a nightclub singer who might also be a murderer — is strange, uncomfortable, or unwanted. And yet, the very weird David Lynch film is beloved by critics and audiences alike. That’s including the one pictured here—in which Isabella Rossellini catches Kyle MacLachlan hiding in her closet, threatens him with a knife, and then decides that she’s into him?

No one puts baby in a corner! Don’t know where that line comes from? It’s from this movie, which is about a rich girl and her wrong-side-of-the-tracks dancing machine boyfriend. The climactic lift, which you’ve seen parodied everywhere was both unrehearsed and left fans gasping.

This movie was ostensibly about baseball, but there’s a reason your parents wouldn’t let you rent it!

Considered to be one of those “great love stories” by people who’ve seen it, this film is centered on the debate about whether women and men can be friends. And it features this scene, in which Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm in a diner. Bet this was cut from the TV version.

This film was about a woman who — with the help of a psychic played by Whoopi Goldberg — stepped into a romantic relationship with the literal ghost of her former boyfriend. It also brought us a scene which begged the question: Is that how you’re supposed to use a pottery wheel?

Gus Van Sant’s classic about the lives of male sex workers began with a scene of two gay men engaged in sexual congress (Phoenix with a client whom he later begs for more money). It certainly got people’s attention.

You know what? It’s impossible to pick just one scene when the entire film is a hotbed of scandal, at least for 1992. Suffice to say, though, that if you’re looking for anything from threesomes to BDSM, this movie’s got it. The characters may have liked to watch, but your parents certainly made sure you didn’t.

If you need a quick refresher: This movie was about a cop who was frozen in the ‘90s and then thawed out to thwart his arch nemesis in 2032. But none of that is as important as the moment Sandra Bullock’s character subverted the social norms of the time by asking Sylvester Stallone’s character if he wanted to have sex. We’re sure it’d be even more x-rated if we understood how people had sex in 2032 (it involved helmets), but we certainly talked about it just as much as that “three shells in the bathroom” thing. Ask your parents about it.

It’s not until the end of this film that you realize that Fiorentino’s a protagonist, but she’s not a hero to root for. (Because she’s a psychopath intent on destroying everyone in her way for financial gain.) Of course, that didn’t stop multiple outlets from naming some of the rough sex scenes that Fiorentino and Peter Berg filmed as the most scandalous of the year.

Nomi Malone is a dancer, damnit, and she’s going to make it in Vegas no matter what she has to do. That includes a slimy produced played by Kyle MacLachlan (marking his second entry on this list). Two words: Dolphin fountain.

The late ‘90s were a boom for “movies about women who enjoy having sex with each other for the pleasure of their male audiences.” This “lesbian” thriller? No exception.

It was a film about porn, so there was was no shortage of “love scenes” in this dramedy about the biz, but the biggest love story of all was between Dirk Diggler and his ginormous member. If you ever get your hands on a time machine, going back in time to freak the hell out with the rest of audience at the final scene of this movie should be your top priority. (Don’t worry, someone else has Hitler.)

It started off with a fight in the water and ended with a whole lot of making out. Did the scene make any sense? Nope, but that didn’t stop it from being one of the most talked-about scenes of the year.

This scene started with a lesson in kissing and ended up with a full-on makeout session between two of the 90’s biggest teen stars. If you were lucky enough to see it in middle school, it also gave you bragging rights for months.

While audiences might’ve been there for the aerial martial arts, the flashback of Ziyi and Chen’s characters getting it on in that cave was just as important.

Monster’s Ball is a dark, complex film, that many critics hailed as important. Its mature content — including a nearly five-minute-long sex scene — gave this movie as hard an R-rating as possible.

This BDSM love story certainly changed how some people looked at their bosses.
