WOMAN.ca's Top Selects For Steamiest Scenes on The Big Screen

1. A History of Violence (2005)

Although society has been well conditioned to think that ladies like it slow and sensual, the truth is that sometimes -- we like to get rough. And, in A History of Violence actors Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello deliver just that. Hard, raw, dirty sex, with no shortage of passion, and just a touch of violence. The famous scene on the stairs - a location that director David Cronenberg surely intended to be symbolic, as the couple is in the middle of a serious transition in their relationship at the time of the hook-up -- is not the first sex scene in the film, however it is definitely the most memorable. Combative, competitive, and seriously sexy, their post-argument tryst on the stairs easily makes our Top Ten list.
