—sarahm4cb9372dc

4. Titanic

Paramount/20th Century Fox

"I like to say 'I went in a girl and came out a woman.' Leo was the sexiest man I had ever seen."

—abbeyw4cd0a1d09

5. True Lies

Universal/Fox

"It was THE Jamie Lee Curtis scene, you know the one. I just happened to walk in and catch it. Didn't need the movie's context whatsoever. It's also how I learned I'm not totally straight because gahdamn she was the sexiest."

—taylord628

6. Hook

Tristar

"Definitely Rufio (played by Dante Basco) in Hook."

—jmclark1181

—erinc4e346f509

8. Peter Pan

Universal

"This movie caused my sexual awakening when I was 6 years old. The Coldplay piano riff, the shirtless boy sneaking into Wendy's window and whisking her away to a magical land, the kiss — how could it not cause my sexual awakening?"

—mikolem

9. Catwoman

Warner Bros.

"When I saw Halle Berry as Catwoman my body reacted in such a way that I had to watch it, uh, at least 400 more times."

—natalyec

Columbia

"Chris Evans's body was amazing and he has not disappointed since. Definitely the start of a lifelong thirst."

—jazminl2

11. Far and Away

Universal

"It was Tom Cruise and his shitty Irish accent. 12-year-old me didn't realize how bad that accent was or how bugfuck crazy Cruise is. But, honestly...I still love the movie."

—annalee10

12. The Country Bears

Disney

"Umm...does anybody remember the song 'Kick it Into Gear' from The Country Bears? You know, the movie about the singing bears? Yeah, my sexual awakening came from the hot waitresses in The Country Bears."

—keeganp2

13. George of the Jungle

Disney

"Brendan Fraser in George of the Jungle. I mean, he's covered in a loincloth for most of the movie, ffs! But when he puts on that suit, he's still fine as fuck. Plus, lest we forget, that after-shower scene."

—amlynnweb

14. Labyrinth

Tristar

"It was David Bowie. To this day I would fear him, love him, and do as he says. I'd be lying if I said I never thought about wishing the goblins would come and take my own child away so I could marry the Goblin King."

—lacyleathers92

15. The Breakfast Club

Universal

"A coy redhead (Molly Ringwald) who can apply lipstick with her cleavage? No contest!"

—marym47d3702f9

20. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

New Line Cinema

"This is gonna sound sooooo stupid, but I was young at the time and kept telling my dad how pretty one of the actresses was. Well, I ranted for about thirty minutes on how pretty she was, lmao. Needless to say when I finally came out to my father years and years later he already knew about it because of my ranting about the female actress."

—hollzy90

21. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

New Line Cinema

"Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom) did it for me. I went to see Fellowship of the Rings an innocent child thinking boys were gross, then, three hours later, left the theater a woman in love, thirsting for a water bottle filled with Legolas' sweat."

—butterflybutts91

22. Purple Rain

Warner Bros.

20th Century Fox/Warner Bros,

"The part where Daniel Day-Lewis says, 'You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you! No matter how long it takes, no matter how far. I WILL find you...' I spent an embarrassing amount of time staring at my Daniel Day-Lewis poster, attempting to will a Mohican into existence."

—mommyzombie

26. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland

—shewritesff

33. S.W.A.T.

Columbia

"I watched this movie when I was a kid and it was definitely an awakening. Young Colin Farrell came on screen and I was like, 'Wooooow! I just hit puberty.' Minutes later Michelle Rodriquez came on screen and I went, 'Ohhhhhh, okay, yeah I'm definitely bisexual,' haha."

—livb4aeb3db20

34. Aladdin

—katlady122193

37. Velvet Goldmine

Miramax

"Ewan MacGregor naked? Check. Jonathan Rhys Meyers at peek twinkdom? Check. Orgy scene with incredible background music? CHECK."

—khatleesi

38. The Three Musketeers

Buena Vista

"I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but Charlie Sheen in The Three Musketeers. His character was a very religious man but he was sleeping with women he was never supposed to. It was clandestine, forbidden, and very erotic. All I could say to anyone is I just really liked his character!"

—jbishop1101

39. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

20th Century Fox

"I saw Natalie Portman and started having feelings that used to be reserved only for boys. I didn't even know at the time that a person could like both. I still can't watch the movie without feeling extremely uncomfortable and awkward."

—jessannie

40. Save The Last Dance

Paramount

—arieln448a51f04

41. John Tucker Must Die

—aub4697

42. The Man in the Iron Mask

United Artists

"Okay, this is very weird, but I attribute The Man In the Iron Mask to my sexual awakening. Every time Leonardo DiCaprio's character was put in the mask I felt *~some type of way~*"

—angp45b53cdd0

43. The New Guy

Columbia

"This is not a good movie but stars the gorgeous Eliza Dushku. In one scene she tries on a series of bikinis, and, well, when this DVD came out it was a game changer for an adolescent me."

—jonalread

44. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

buzzfeed.com

"This is going to sound very strange, but this movie sexually awakened me at the age of twelve. It's the part where Jack needs to get rid of Santa so he can take over, so he sends Santa down the shoot to the Boogie Man lair where he is tied up and hung from the ceiling. The Boogie Man dances around him, teasing him about his lost freedom and how he can't escape, and I got really strange (and nice) feelings about Santa being tied up and 'teased' by the Boogie Man. Turns out, I'm into BDSM and I learned it from the Boogie Man."

—kendraclark

45. But I'm a Cheerleader

Lionsgate

—valerieg41dc211b5

48. Now and Then

New Line Cinema

"The scenes between Christina Ricci and Devon Sawa were peak awkward pre-teen sexual tension. I was also really into hippie Brendan Fraser, foreshadowing my lifelong attraction to slightly crusty dudes."

—nc89

49. The Blue Lagoon

Columbia Pictures

"Completely aging myself. The movie is so wrong, but yet..."

—sheria4fd4c987c

50. Showgirls

buzzfeed.com

"Picture it. Baltimore ’96. I'm 8 years old. My mom rents the basement of a house shared with 4 other strippers and I am left home alone most nights. I start sifting through the VHS tapes and I stumble upon a tape that has Showgirls on one side and Grease on the other. That tape taught me everything I needed to know. I am now a Sexual Goddess — and you better keep your filthy paws off of my silky drawers."

—kaylanicoleb2

51. The Santa Clause 2

Buena Vista

Elizabeth Mitchell on the ladder in the beginning did things to my little 10-year-old body that I didn't quite understand. Now I realize that was probably the first clue that I'm a lesbian."

20th Century Fox

—kalie

55. Hairspray

New Line Cinema

"I was about 12 or 13 when it came out and I must have seen it four times in the theater, and then every day after school on DVD. Zac Efron as Link Larkin, in tight pants dancing all over the place, really did it for me."

—cumberbabe1395

56. The Outsiders

—jessiel4da0c3e63

58. Soul Food

20th Century Fox

"The sex scene where that guy cheats on Vanessa Williams with her cousin. Ever since I saw that I have always wanted to fuck someone on a wall. Still hasn't happened, though, because I'm not a skinny bitch...please let me know if Jason Momoa has an open marriage."

—dmad13

59. Black Swan

Fox Searchlight

"Totally made me realize I wasn't as hetero as I'd previously thought."

—emilys405016583

68. Interview With A Vampire

Warner Bros.

"Brad Pitt is gorgeous, and so is Tom Cruise. There's so much nudity and sex I honestly should not have been allowed to watch it. Also, when Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) goes off about being a child forever and wanting to have boobs and have sex...RELATABLE."

—tawncat

69. Reality Bites

Universal

"Ethan Hawke as Troy became the perfect example of every asshole guy I chased after for the next 30 years. Good times."
