Vulture.com (an off shoot of New York Magazine) listed the 30 Most Important Sex Scenes in Movie History. And all the scenes you thought would be there are, and some you might have not considered, but the order might be a little unexpected because of how they fall in importance.
Looking at the Top Ten:
10. Do The Right Thing
9. Brokeback Mountain
It’s not explicit in any way shape or form, but the sight of two male movie stars going at it came as quite a shock to audiences in 2005 — even though everybody already knew what the film would be about. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal both give the performances of their careers in this Ang Lee masterpiece, and the moment when they first fall into each other’s arms is remarkable for the way it balances the confusion of the two characters with the fact that they seem to know exactly what it is they need to do, spit-lube and all.
8. In the Realm of the Senses
7. Love & Basketball
6. Y Tu Mama Tambien
5. Bound
4. Coming Home
3. Last Tango in Paris
2. Out of Sight
1. Don’t Look Now
While time and distance seems to grow from Brokeback, there is no question that it had a impact both on and off screen. It will always stand ready for Jake to return to.
