’Tis the season to be frisky: With its long, sunny days and warm, breezy nights, summer is a time to indulge yourself in sensual pursuits, and that includes the movies you watch. Here are 5 films that will live up to your seasonal expectations.

 

Me Before You
Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) plays a British country bumpkin who falls wildly in love with a posh young man (Sam Claflin) who has been paralyzed by a motorcycle accident. This charming romance is about the magic of unlikely outcomes.

 

Diary of a Chambermaid
Léa Seydoux (who was the art student in the sizzling lesbian love story, Blue Is the Warmest Color) here plays a servant at a 19th-century provincial French estate who is desired by both her master and his grown son and harshly supervised by her mistress. Directed by Benoit Jacquot.

 

Equals
Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult are forbidden lovers in a sterile, “utopian” future world. Directed by Drake Doremus (Like Crazy).

 

Tulip Fever
In this tale set in 16th-century Amsterdam, Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) plays a beautiful young woman married to a wealthy older man (Academy Award winner and Tarantino fave Christoph Waltz) who attracts the attentions of a headstrong young painter (Dane DeHaan).

 

Nerve
In this edgy and sexy thriller, Emma Roberts (niece of Julia, and star of Scream Queens) and Dave Franco (younger brother of James) get caught up in a real-life game controlled by an online community of “watchers.” Directed by Catfish creators Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman.
