1. Some Like It Hot

Tony Curtis famously compared kissing Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot's love scene to kissing Hitler. To quote Roger Ebert: "You remember what Curtis said but when you watch that scene, all you can think is that Hitler must have been a terrific kisser." The film centers around two down-on-their-luck Prohibition-era musicians, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, who accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. As a desperate attempt to evade both death-by-gangster and unemployment, they don dresses, assume unconvincing female identities and join an all-girl band. Curtis immediately complicates things by falling for the band's singer, played by Marilyn Monroe in her most effortlessly sensual performance.

Best scene to make a move: See above, and sig heil. — Gwynne Watkins

Anyone waxing nostalgic about the innocent past presumably hasn't seen Some Like it Hot. It may be coy, but Billy Wilder's film has more sexuality on view than a dozen sperm-as-hair-gel-type contemporary sleaze-fests. As often happened in that era, censorship forced the filmmakers to be more suggestive than explicit, and thereby all the sexier. Starting with Jack Lemmon's first description of Marilyn Monroe ("Like Jell-O on springs!"), Some Like it Hot is a non-stop masterpiece of innuendo, about as sexy as a comedy can be without driving viewers out of the theater to hump. Plus, it ends with a legendary note of acceptance ("Nobody's perfect!"), sure to provoke warm, sticky feelings between you and your date.
