CULT-TASTIC
Fight Club, Labyrinth, Heathers + more
Cult movies, whether you love them, or love to watch them for the experience, are an essential part of our film lexicon. Some, like The Room, gain cult status for being terrible, while others, like Clueless, become cult favorites for their style and snappy dialogue. In true PROVOKR fashion, we have rounded up the nine sexiest cult films.
Barbarella
This movie opens with Jane Fonda stripping off her clothes and from there, it just gets raunchier. Fonda is Barbarella and spends her time thanking people by having sex with them. There’s also a scene with a machine that’s supposed to make you orgasm so much you die.
Blue Velvet
This David Lynch classic is a neo-noir classic and one hell of a sexy movie. That’s very much due to Isabella Rossellini’s seductive performance and Kyle MacLachlan’s derrière. Be sure to indulge your hipster sensibility and drink Pabst Blue Ribbon while you watch this 80s classic.
A Clockwork Orange
You’ll keep your eyes wide open as you watch this Kubrick masterpiece. Make sure you have a glass of milk by your side. Although you might now think of lead Malcolm McDowell for his distinguished turns playing older men in Bombshell, Halloween and Heroes back in 1971, he was young and hot. And despite playing a psychopath, McDowell sure turned people on in this role.
Fight Club
While Fight Club is a movie that condemns toxic masculinity, it has a huge male fan base of whom it is poking fun. That said, David Fincher capitalized on Brad Pitt’s sex symbol status when casting him as Tyler Durden. Never forget the first rule of Fight Club, don’t talk about Fight Club.
Heathers
Christian Slater’s J.D. may be bad to the bone in this 80’s classic, but his swagger and seductive gaze makes us swoon. There’s a reason Veronica (Winona Ryder) found him so alluring. Sure, he’d be a terrible boyfriend, but hey, everyone can fantasize while watching, right?
Labyrinth
Three words say it all: David Bowie’s bulge. Yes, this trippy movie from the mind of Jim Henson is notable for more than just the late glam-rock icon’s member. Still, no discussion of Labyrinth is complete without at least one person mentioning how turned on they are by seeing David Bowie in those skintight leggings.
Pink Flamingos
Whether you find this bizarre John Waters classic sexy or just sexual is up to you, but it is one of Waters’ raunchiest films. What is there to say about it other than the movie is a treasure trove of every sexual fetish and kink imaginable. It’s a wild ride!
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Tim Curry’s iconic performance as the gender-bending Dr. Frank-N-Furter continues to be a sexual awakening for many teens and young adults. This movie is the ultimate in erotic cult films. It’s no wonder midnight showings have been going on for 45 years. Let your freak flag fly.
Showgirls
Kyle MacLachlan makes a second appearance on this list. This NC-17 film is famous for killing Elizabeth Berkley’s career. There’s so much nudity, it is almost overwhelming. Be sure to have a few ice cubes on hand while watching; you’ll quickly figure out why.
