Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, while not as well-known as other 19th-century queer icons, was a truly unconventional woman and legend in her own right whose story deserves to be told. The writer of Gigi and The Tendrils of the Vine had her story retold in 2018 with the film Colette, starring Keira Knightley as the titular novelist.
Predominantly documenting the time as her husband’s ghost-writer and the genesis of her classic Claudine character, this film is for the Knightley stans through and through, especially those fond of sapphic period pieces. With its gorgeous Belle Époque setting, a lot of focus is put into Colette’s life as a queer woman and how it affects both her life and artistic vision, and how she used that inherent queerness to break conventions and change art history.

Kathleen Turner delivers a star-making performance opposite William Hurt in Laurence Kasdan‘s 1981 erotic neo-noir thriller Body Heat.

Salacious without becoming cheap, the film is an exercise in eroticism with a healthy dose of crime. The way the movie lays out a plot full of infidelity and moral ambiguity guarantees a suspense-filled ride for viewers.
Fifty Shades of Grey stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. The film is based on the infamous eponymous 2011 novel and follows the sadomasochistic relationship between a recent college graduate and a young business magnate.
The film may be a silly bore-fest for some men, but a guy can also be a sport by taking his wife or girlfriend out to dinner and watching this movie. Fifty Shades of Grey can undeniably spark some fireworks. There is certainly a lot of sexiness on display here. Christian Grey is mega-rich and good-looking, but he is also dominant and sensitive at the same time. He is a man but also a boy, strong but wounded. Fifty Shades taps into a similar fantasy as Beauty and the Beast and Twilight, and can make for a very good date night.
