Moviefone Lists the Top 25 Sexiest Movie Couples
Filed under: Lists
One of the most important pieces to the cinematic puzzle is something you cannot buy -- chemistry. It's either there, or it's not. When it is, the relationship sizzles off the screen. When it's not, the whole experience is just plain flat and boring. In honor of the former, those cinematic supercouples, Moviefone has pulled together a list of the Top 25 Sexiest Movie Couples, and they've definitely hit many different forms of coupling -- the sexy women, the sexy men, the men and women, the rich man and the hooker, and just about everything in between.Aside from Pretty Woman, there's lots of other couples to choose from. The list starts with Catherine and Antonio in the Mask of Zorro -- for that scene we all remember with the sword and the disrobing. Of course, Moviefone lists Out of Sight, the movie that makes even naysayers praise J-Lo. There's also the classic Gone with the Wind, Stella groovin' with Taye Diggs and Angela Basset, Baby in the corner, and some super-sexy postman-ringing action.
Some placements and films will probably surprise you. I was surprised how close to #25 Naomi Watts and Laura Harring's tryst in Mulholland Drive was. But what do you think is missing? Personally, out of all the old-school couples on there, it's sad to see no Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. To me, they're THE couple. (Oh, that final scene from Guess Who's Coming to Dinner...) Check out the list and sound off below!

I simply can't click through all that. I probably wouldn't have agreed with any of them anyway. Cruel, cruel lists! How I detest thee!

I would've loved to have seen Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas from "Romancing the Stone" on this list.

Wait? Did I accidentally skip over Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin in The Big Easy? I'll take that pairing over Barkin and Pacino any day!

They may have never taken their clothes off or engaged in any physical activity, but William Powell and Myrna Loy were second to none in sophisticated sexiness.

I still don't get that Titanic thing - they do look more like brother & sister. And yes, what about Michael Douglas & Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone and/or The Big Easy? There are so many things wrong with this list that it needs a do-over!!!

No Tracy & Hepburn?? Come oooon!! What an oversight!! Another incredibly hot movie couple: Daniel Day Lewis and Madeleine Stowe in "The Last Of The Mohicans". Remember the waterfall scene? Then, there's Kevin Costner & Susan Sarandon in "Bull Durham", Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan in "Tarzan, The Ape Man", Lana Turner & John Garfield in "The Postman Always Rings Twice", Angelina Jolie & Antonio Banderas in "Original Sin", and Clark Gable and Jean Harlow in "Red Dust". BTW, I agree w/ the above posts concerning Quaid & Barkin, Douglas & Turner, and Powell & Loy. Hot stuff!

I can't believe you left out the hottest and sexiest love scene in cinema. Mel Gibson and Michelle Pfeiffer (sp) in Tequila Sunrise. The movie is cool but the love scene is HOT!

I think Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward should have made the "hot couple" list for "Against All Odds."

my favorite is from Where the Heart Is with Natalie Portman and James Frain as Novalee and Forney. their tender moments of lovemaking are wonderful but my favorite part is when she says that she thought he deserved someone better and he says "Novalee, there isn't anyone better than you." tearing up thinking about it. man, I love that movie.

I agree about the Last of the Mohicans, but for the record, Madeleine's last name is spelled Stowe. it's my last name too and people always leave off the e on the end.
