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!

23. I think some people are missing the point -- it's about the HEAT & the CHEMISTRY, but mostly the HEAT. That's the part that makes you ask ... "are they really a-c-t-i-n-g ?
Examples . . . William Hurt & Kathleen Turner in Body Heat; Naomi Watts & Laura Elena Harring in Mulholland Drive; Billy Bob Thornton (lucky guy) & Halle Berry in Monster's Ball..... but my all time favorite .... Joan Chen & her lovely partner in Wild Side. Best five minutes ever.

26. Brad was much sexer in Legion of the Fall, and it was a joke about Brokeback Mountain right? That movie was not only boreing but not at all sexy....

28. WHAT HAPPENED TO BASIC INSTICT.......WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 9 1/2 WEEKS AND BODY HEAT AS WITH MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND SHARON STONE IN BASIC INSTINCT...THEY WERE DEFINITELY A SEXY COUPLE FOR AS LONG AS IT LASTED RIGHT UP TO THE END....SIMPLY A GREAT MOVIE. AS USUAL THOUGH YOU GUYS SCREWED IT UP. BASIC INSTINCT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE TOP 3 EASY.

29. How could you overlook Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in
"Ghost"?
I wonder how different the list would have been if it were not three females who prepared it. Cmon give the males an equal chance or at least a mixed group voting on the outcome.

36. So where the heck are Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton? He once described her as "beautiful beyond any pornographic dream".
Now that's "hot".

37. Half the posts here could bump some of those off the top 25 list. I was glad to see Tom Cruse and Kelly McGillis in Top Gun listed. Who comes up with these lists, they sure didn't ask us!

38. Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin in Sea of Love hands down

39. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in "Dirty Dancing" or Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in "Ghost".. No one is hotter than Patrick Swayze. He can melt you all the way down without ever going all the way on screen..He should have been number one on the list with either of his ladies. He wil always be Numero Uno in my book..
