Random Movies With Real, Unsimulated Sex Scenes (15 items)

(#4) Caligula
- Helen Mirren, Peter O'Toole, Malcolm McDowell
Penthouse founder Bob Guccione produced the intense historical drama Caligula about the fall of the Roman emperor of the same name. It can't be all that surprising the founder of an adult men's magazine wanted to make a movie with unsimulated love scenes. The movie, starring Helen Mirren and Malcolm McDowell, featured after-the-fact scenes Guccione filmed in private.

Although the leads of the film didn't do it with one another, Guccione's personal Penthouse Pets filmed unsimulated scenes for post-production.
(#11) Lie with Me
- Eric Balfour, Lauren Lee Smith, Don Francks, Polly Shannon, Ron White, Kate Lynch, Michael Facciolo, Richard Chevolleau
Lie with Me's intimate scenes looked pretty realistic to audiences. So much so, in fact, people started probing about their authenticity. Lauren Lee Smith and Eric Balfour starred as lovers in the film, and both eventually owned up to the fact their scenes were actually unsimulated.

The decision shocked critics mainly because both actors are fairly famous and well-known.
(#2) Love
- Karl Glusman, Klara Kristin, Aomi Muyock
Gaspar Noé's 2015 film Love featured real love between actors Karl Glusman and Aomi Muyock. But Noé took his romance film to the next level by producing it in 3D! Love is first and foremost about intercourse in 3D and only secondly about the dramatic love story between the two protagonists.

Most of it was not choreographed and Noé admitted he hoped his film would make men and women both feel, well, "excited."
(#8) Pink Flamingos
- John Waters, Divine, Mink Stole, Edith Massey, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Cookie Mueller, Pat Moran, Paul Swift, Jack Walsh, Susan Walsh, Channing Wilroy, Danny Mills, Pat Lefaiver, Bob Skidmore, Linda Olgeirson
Pink Flamingos starred a drag queen named Divine, who has been labeled "the filthiest person alive." This movie is mostly known for its crude scenes and even cruder love scenes. In likely the film's most famous moment, Divine services a man who is playing her son in the film.

The movie was banned in several countries, including Australia and Canada.
(#1) Nymphomaniac: Volume I
- Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgård, Shia LaBeouf
Lars von Trier's controversial two-part Nymphomaniac featured no small amount of unsimulated scenes. It's one of the most well-known modern movies with real sex. When actor Shia LaBeouf signed on as a love interest opposite Stacy Martin, rumors spread about their performance in the film. Lars von Trier had already mentioned his film would feature the real deal. LaBeouf initially said he agreed to participate in the scenes.
However, when the film finally premiered, it was revealed the actual deed was performed between two of the film's actors. LaBeouf and Martin's bodies were superimposed with CGI for those scenes.
(#5) The Brown Bunny
- Vincent Gallo, Chloë Sevigny, Cheryl Tiegs
The Brown Bunny is the independent Cannes film that made Chloë Sevigny a household name. It's also the film where she notoriously gave costar and director Vincent Gallo very real and very graphic oral treatment. Many were suspicious about the authenticity of the scene between the two stars, but Sevigny herself has admitted it is indeed real.

The movie polarized audiences at Cannes, but it has lived in infamy for the scene that blew Sevigny onto the Hollywood landscape as a fashion icon and successful actress.
