SEX AND LUCIA, Paz Vega, Elena Anaya, 2001

BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR, (aka BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOUR, aka LA VIE D’ADELE), Adele Exarchopoulos
TITLE: Blue Is The Warmest Color
This 2013 film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for its raw and honest portrayal of a same sex relationship, but Netflix dropped this NC-17 film into its "steamy" section for a reason. There's a 12-minute long sex scene in the middle of this movie which caused the entire world's jaw to drop.

ingobernable-steamy
TITLE: Ingobernable
"Ingobernable" translates as "ungovernable" in English, but you'll be forgiven if you think it really means "steamy." This brand new Netflix original stars Mexican super hottie Kate del Castillo, aka the woman who was so beautiful that El Chapo let down his guard and got captured (for a second time) by the policia.
