There’s a common misconception that movies with sexual content and graphic nudity are not good. If you turn the pages of history, you will find that some of the greatest films have hard-core sexual content in them (e.g., ‘Eyes Wide Shut,’ ‘Boogie Nights,’ etc.) That said, let’s have a look at the list of the most erotic and dirtiest movies on Netflix that you can watch right now. The films listed below are among the best in their sub-genre and stand out for their performances and storylines. Please keep in mind that many of these have been rated R or TV-MA according to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) guidelines, and more stress has been laid on the movie’s hotness meter while compiling this list.

1. Blonde (2022)
Andrew Dominik’s ‘Blonde’ isn’t a pleasant film. It’s a brutal dissection of the celebrity culture, Hollywood, and the social elite and can very well be what its critics suggest — an exploitation of the legendary movie star on whose life this film is based. But then again, there hasn’t been a good film or TV show on Marilyn Monroe, despite multiple attempts over the years. This one at least attempts to explore the toxic relationship she had with fame and the negative impact the men in her life had on her, ‘Blonde’ starts when Marilyn was still known as Norma Jeane, showing the abuse he suffered in the hands of her mother before changing her name to pursue her big dreams. The film then relentlessly pushes forward and shows the horrors she endured despite her success. You can watch the film here.
