Movie sex scenes are on our minds. Question is, did they ever really leave our minds?

They can be cringe, they can be complete wish fulfilment. But sex scenes are pretty much always worth talking about. Controversial TV show The Idol (brainchild of Euphoria's Sam Levinson) has just been dubbed as having “the worst sex scene in history”, which is quite an accolade to behold.

So we decided to take a trip down memory (or masturbation) lane and pick out the best movie sex scenes out there, from characters of all sexualities and age groups.

Yes, of course there's the rain scene in The Notebook and Diane Lane and Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful, but there's also some you may have forgotten about or missed: like Angelina Jolie in Gia, or Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton's characters in Monster Ball.

And better yet, you'll find films to get stuck into that are about way more than their sexy scenes.

These are the steamiest movie sex scenes ever…
