Well, I just watched “From Dusk till Dawn” for the umpteenth time (since my flatmate hadn’t seen it) and I just realized that the [Selma Hayek Snake Dance (nsfw)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvCTkBKRggc) has to be the sexiest scene ever made in a main-stream movie.

Hell - Selma Hakek is so friggin’ HAWT!

I dare you to come up with a hotter scene than that!

I nominate the nude wrestling scene with Alan Bates and Oliver Reed in _Women in Love_. Yow, just thinking about that scene makes me feel all tingly.

That scene in the OP would be a lot hotter if weirdo Tarantino and his huge forehead and his foot-fetish obsession were not part of it.

Meh. I didn’t think much of her dancing ability in that clip, but she does have a hot bod.

Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson in **The Tall Guy**. They may be unlikely names, but if you’ve seen it, you know what scene I mean. It’s hot enough to fry an egg (which it probably does.)

A sentimental favorite is the “refrigerator” scene in **9 1/2 Weeks** with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke.

If you go to [Emma Thompson :: Celebrity Movie Archive](http://www.celebritymoviearchive.com/tour/movie.php/6566), you can see screen caps of the scenes in question.

Dude, if that’s the sexiest scene you can think of, you really don’t get much sex in Iceland, do you? 😉

Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon doing the McNasty in “Bound,” if you go for girl-on-girl.

Not a movie, but at 1:30, this Levi’s ad is long enough to be a makeout scene in a movie.
