7 more sexy movies for grown women

Last week, Dr. Barb DePree recommended ten sexy movies for grown women. This week, she recommends seven more. What would you add to this list?
1. Sweet Land directed by Ali Selim
Elizabeth Reaser and Patrick Heusinger are awkward and beautiful as they work his rural Minnesotan farm. A gorgeous movie whose sensuousness bubbles up from nowhere and nothing. There are so many barriers to this romance, it just has to bloom. And it does. And it's breathtaking.

2. The Graduate directed by Mike Nichols
Dustin Hoffman loves Katharine Ross and lusts for her mother, Anne Bancroft. Sick? Well, yes, okay. Yes. And really, really sexy too. 60s angst. Remember 60s angst? We do.

3. Under the Tuscan Sun directed by Audrey Wells
The title gives it away: Tuscany. Heat. This film is about escape and discovery. A grown woman’s fantasy come true.

4. Thief of Hearts directed by Douglas Day Stewart
Sexy Steven Bauer has stolen Barbara Williams' diary. Her dull and predictable life breeds a rich fantasy life in those pages, and now he knows every detail of it. Careful what you wish for, girlfriends.

5. Vicky Cristina Barcelona directed by Woody Allen
Javier Bardem could stand in the middle of the room and read our grocery lists, and that would be enough for us. But put him in a movie with a lot of sexy women and supremely sensuous surroundings, and...why aren't there more movies like this?

6. Moonstruck directed by Norman Jewison
Ah, Moonstruck. How many times have we seen it? A dozen times? How many media have we owned it in? VHS, Disc, DVD, Digital - and counting! This campy romantic comedy just never gets old. An aging Italian Cinderella in Manhattan gets another chance at love. And she takes it. Cher and Nicolas Cage - Mama Olympia Dukakis nearly steals this movie.

7. Daniel Craig films (any one)
Oh sigh. His Bond flicks are so yummy. But really, we'll take him in any movie, in or out of a tuxedo. Out is good.

What movie would you add to the list?

Loved Daniel Craig in "Layer Cake" with vixenish Sienna Miller - what a hot couple!

My all time favorite movie, The Graduate! Also, my all time favorite scene in any movie, anywhere is the wedding scene from the Godfather. Glad to see you had that too! But, to me, any movie (no matter how bad it is) with George Clooney in it is sexy, sexy. Gosh I love him!

The actors in most of these movies are so young.  What about those two European movies produced in the last couple years with older lovers, in their 60s and 70s?  I can't remember the names of these movies.  Who can help me??  They were shown in small movie houses in San Francisco and then left.

I just saw "The Last Station" which was about the death of Tolstoy but was really about the passion between Tolstoy and his wife (who cares about the history).  Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren.  I lover ii.  Perhaps that is one of the movies you were thinking of?

Never Again.  It's a comedy...about two divorced people who meet, fall in love, MAKE LOVE, part, then reunite. Jill Clayburgh is fantastic, especially in the restaurant scene where she gets really angry. I highly recommend it.
