**The Film:** *Fifty Shades of Grey*
**The Fetish:** Much of this movie franchise's premise relies on the fact that Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan), our central male protagonist, is super into dominant/submissive relationships and introduces virginal Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) to his world of pain (and gain?). Of all the sexy encounters between these two, few things are kinkier than Ana's first real romp in Christian's Red Room of Pain.

**The Film:** *Crash*
**The Fetish:** David Cronenberg's twisted 1996 flick sees car crash victims find solace in having sex in the very vehicles that scarred them, and it's bizarrely erotic. One couple in particular, played by James Spader and Holly Hunter, can only get off having sex in cars - and boy, do they shift things into gear.

**The Film:** *In the Cut*
**The Fetish**: This erotic thriller stars Mark Ruffalo as Detective Malloy and Meg Ryan as Frannie Avery and involves a lot of different positions, finger-licking, and feet-sucking, but few things are kinkier than when she handcuffs him to a pipe and has sex with him.

**The Film:** *Secretary*
**The Fetish:**: Starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader, this entire movie is pretty much an examination of BDSM and the relationship between a dominant and submissive. Over the course of the film's duration, Lee is put in many a precarious position, but the scene in question sees her don a saddle and get a carrot stuck in her mouth by Spader's E. Edward Grey.

**The Film:** *Wild Things*
**The Fetish:** Not so much a fetish as an extremely steamy threesome between Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, and Matt Dillon, this scene features a creative use of champagne and some seriously freaky foreplay.

**The Film:** *The Dreamers*
**The Fetish:** A LOT happens in this NC-17 incest-driven film that could be considered kinky, but perhaps one of the most recognizable sees the siblings take an erotic bath with their new lover, played by Michael Pitt.

**The Film:** *9 ½ Weeks*
**The Fetish:** Starring Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke, *9 ½ Weeks* is essentially a lesson in kink. The two get up to some seriously sexy shenanigans, but this kitchen romp may make you never see your fridge the same way again.

**The Film:** *Bound*
**The Fetish:** This film from the Wachowskis sees two women - one the girlfriend of a violent gangster and the other an ex-con working on the apartment next door - fall into a passionate affair so steamy it might fog up your screen. This intense, authentic-feeling sex scene nearly landed them an NC-17 rating.

EWS — **The Film:** *Eyes Wide Shut*
**The Fetish:** All of Stanley Kubrick's *Eye's Wide Shut* is pretty kinky, but Tom Cruise exploring a freaky mansion and watching numerous people bone in just about every position under the sun takes "kink" to a whole new level.

**The Film:** *Shame*
**The Fetish:** This entire film tackles sex addiction in a breathtaking, devastating fashion, but one of our main character's many sexcapades takes place against a hotel window for all the world to see.
