Netflix Picks: The Search For Truth (Also Boobs)

[jwplayer id="7183064"]

Sometimes we browse through Netflix and look for movies that are steeped in eroticism--movies that can get your blood flowing with nothing more than a woman's eyebrows and some tense dialogue--and sometimes we click around Netflix aimlessly until we stumble upon a film and say, "Oh yeah! There's totally a great pair of tits at some spot in this movie. And the rest of the movie is a documentary about Robert E. Lee."

The point is that sometimes nudity is the main course and sometimes it's an unexpected treat casually tossed to us like the dogs under the table that we are. We want to give you both! (And no, there's not really a Robert E. Lee documentary in this post today.)

1. Hot Tub Time Machine: You see, this is one of those films that makes us go, "Oh yeah! There are indeed some boobs in this fine piece of comedy! How could we forget?" Well, we didn't forget. We can't ever forget the sight of Jessica Pare's wet, glistening tits, nor can we forget how Craig Robinson covers up his crying: "Um, no. It's the water splashing in my face from all the fucking."

2. Elena Undone: And now, on the alternate end of the spectrum, a movie in which sexual tension explodes in a cathartic girl-on-girl makeout session that leaves both women cold and crushed by the futility of imagining a future together. Elena is a mother and the wife of a pastor, Peyton is a well-known lesbian author; their paths can only cross so many times, so they must use their time to have a topless slow-motion smooch to soft music. Wise choice, ladies. Carpe that diem.

3. Cashback: We know you're a noble and considerate human being, but chances are, if you could stop time, you'd be using your powers to look at naked people. That's exactly what happens in "Cashback," as our stock boy protagonist discovers that he can freeze whoever walks in his store (even Keeley Hazell!), take their clothing off, and draw them naked. We feel the drawing is a nice touch, don't you?

4. Enter the Void: After an American drug dealer gets shot in Tokyo, he has an out-of-body-experience during which he floats around the neon-lit streets and relives scenes from his past; this unique style of storytelling is what the director, Gasper Noe, calls "psychedelic melodrama." Paz de la Huerta makes an appearance in the film (as the protagonist's troubled stripper sister) during which she has a bunch of sex and inadvertently contributes to her brother's reincarnation. Noe said this about casting Paz: "I met Paz and I really liked her. She had the profile for the character because she likes screaming, crying, showing herself naked--all the qualities for it."

5. Bedways: This might be, right now, the hottest thing on Netflix. It's about a filmmaker who invites a man and woman over to a grimy apartment to make a movie about--no joke--sex. This means they rehearse a lot of sex, by having sex, to have more sex later. Plus, this is all in German. As if you didn't need another reason to love it, it's only 75 minutes long. Here's the clip that made us go, "Wait a minute, this is porn, isn't it?"
