Though there are some favorites of mine listed, I didn't find most sexy.
I voted for woman in the dunes.
For suggestions,... I don't really know sexy films I guess.
You're right, a lot of "sexy" films aren't very sexy. Don't leave much to the imagination or create enough erotic tension + atmosphere, just stright into nudity, pounding + breathless panting. For instance i find Michelle Pfeiffer at her sexiest in The Age of Innocence. And In the Mood for Love builds a delicate but intense sense of longing without any overt eroticism but then fades. A couple of spine-tingling scenes in Mulholland Dr- the audition (just a kiss) and Watts + Harring together. I tend to find certain scenes sexy rather than whole films.
Yes, I also tend to find only certain scenes sexy, and not whole films. And your description of sexy would be mine for "erotic" :intense sense of longing without any overt eroticism.
sexy is a difficult term to nail down.
Well i must admit i haven't seen a few of those American 70's porn movies. Of course you're right, i've watched most of them purely for intellectual research. Now whatever happened to that long raincoat?
I just rewatched it so I have to suggest it: how 'bout Tampopo? Perhaps only for food fetishests, but still.
Well, I suggest Russ Meyer's "Faster, Pussycat Kill! Kill!" then
I'd already added it!

How can you ask about the world's sexiest film and not include one Russ Meyer flick in your choices ?
Good point, but that's why i was asking for suggestions.
How did the research go for this one :)
