The best sex scene ever

Fact one: People have sex. Fact two: Because sex is a natural human experience, some movie directors opt to include it in their films—unsimulated—for a heightened sense of realism, which means you're looking at real people having real intercourse. Here are 25 movies that broke taboos for just that. This era film features an insane amount of unsimulated sex, including a threesome and an orgy. Other fun fact: the movie debuted at Cannes.

There's no denying the extreme steaminess of the unforgettable scene between Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman in Black Swan It's already expected that a movie about porn's going to have a lot of sex, and Boogie Nights doesn't hold back. In one of the very first scenes, young Eddie Adams Mark Wahlberg gets to shoot an adult film with veteran porn star Amber Waves Julian Moore , and things go from 0 to real quick. The seriously trashy movie ends with a threesome at a dingy motel room in Florida. What more could you ask for? This award-winning film received a lot of praise back when it first came out. Whoever snagged him must be some classy babe.
