The 10 best Hollywood hot movies are sometimes sexy, sometimes funny but always interesting. You will see comedies and dramas on a list of the hottest movies. If you have not seen the best Hollywood hot movies, then you owe it to yourself to check them out.
Basic Instinct
Sharon Stone plays a manipulative novelist that gets involved in a murder case. Stone is plenty hot enough to make this one of the hottest Hollywood movies ever, but the famous interrogation scene puts this movie over the top.
Catwoman
This movie was not one of the best written or produced movies ever made, but it is definitely one of the hottest. Halle Berry plays a woman given superhero powers akin to those of a cat, and then puts on the skin tight Catwoman suit. Sharon Stone is in this one too.
Wild Orchid.
Normally, a movie about lawyers traveling the world and having sexual escapades would not be very interesting. But when the lawyers look like Carre Otis, then things can get hot.
Wild Things
This is a story about sexual deviants and the world they live in. It is also a movie that has some extremely hot scenes featuring Neve Campbell and Denise Richards. The female cast in this movie definitely helps to make it one of the hottest Hollywood movies ever made.
The Seven Year Itch
When you discuss hot movies, you have to give credit to the innovators. This Marilyn Monroe movie is about her trying to steal someone's husband and the lengths she will go to do it. Some of those lengths are very hot from a lady who knew what hot meant.
Nine 1/2 Weeks
This is another movie based on an affair, but this one has some extremely hot scenes. Mickey Rourke and Kim Bassinger put on a very sexual performance in this movie that shows the things that people who barely know each other will do when the attraction is purely physical.
Showgirls
This film is not interesting to listen to, but it is so hot that you could probably enjoy it more with the sound off. It is about Nomi Malone's (Elizabeth Berkley) attempts to make it as a Las Vegas showgirl. Along the way, she finds more action than she can handle.
Boogie Nights
This is an expose on the 1970's porn industry. It is hot because it has some very adult scenes starring Heather Graham and Julianne Moore, but there is also an element of danger to it that makes it very hot as well.
Charlie's Angels
Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz dressing in the tight Angel's outfits while doing acrobatics for 90 minutes is just hot. The movie is a very entertaining story about three crime-fighting women trying to get back a stolen piece of software, and the great action just makes this movie even better.
Eyes Wide Shut
Dr. William Harford (Tom Cruise) gets himself caught up in a world of weird sexual rituals and prostitutes. The whole time, his wife Alice Harford (Nicole Kidman) is parading around their bedroom in the nude. A very hot movie from beginning to end. [Source]
Some songs are just plain cool, invoking images of aggression, testosterone, passion, sex, or just a general eff-you attitude toward the world. But ion the wrong hands, the song can become a parody of itself. Those hands are usually found on the bodies of people that make movies and the trailers that hype them. If your four year old can watch a movie, hear a song, happily clap along, and have nobody object to this, then the song is officially a marshmallow. 10. "Born to Be Wild" Steppenwolf This song helped spearhead the hard-rock genre and introduced us all to the term "heavy metal." Sure, it didn't mean then what it means now ("heavy metal thunder" is the lyric, so Steppenwolf basically invented slang to aptly describe how awesome his motorcycle is) but, since it works, all's good. If left alone and only played on classic rock radio fifty times a week, it's perfectly acceptable music. The problem comes when every movie trailer on the planet uses it to showcase a character racing, driving, jogging, crawling, or doing anything that requires them to "get their motor running." Using this song to advertise movies about rapping houseflies, zebras that think they're horses, and rock monsters taking their baby for a leisurely bicycle ride to the store, does little but strangle the song to death.

9. "Bad to the Bone" George Thorogood George Thorogood's ode to being born with attitude is naturally a little silly (a doctor is likely not going to be scared of a newborn after two minutes of life), but we can chalk that up to poetic license. It's an awesome song with an iconic guitar riff that all can recognize and learn to play in ten minutes at the local Guitar Center. Sadly, it's that instantly recognizable riff that causes "Bad To The Bone" to be done to death in the movies. And not cool films either; we're talking movies like Joe Dirt. In case you've forgotten, and there's no reason why you should remember, Joe Dirt was a flop where David Spade wore a mullet and did David Spade things. That's really all you need to know. Perhaps the worst offender is Disney, who uses the song when introducing almost any character with anything slightly resembling an attitude. Or, failing that, any movie with dogs. Because dogs like bones, you see. This is supposedly clever, but somehow ends up almost tragic. The Right Way: The Wrong Way:
8. "Back in Black" AC/DC Honestly, we could plug damn near any AC/DC song into this list and it would work, as the band is overplayed, period. They are the go-to group for testosterone and ugly male aggression, and roughly 23,548,271 movies follow suit. But Back In Black, one of the band's biggest hits, seems to be used more than others, so it gets the nod. Once again, an iconic and fairly simple guitar riff plays throughout the song, which instantly alerts moviegoers to one of two things: this film has ATTITUDE, or Jack Black's in it. It's a little-known law, passed by Congress in early-2000, that if Jack Black appears in a movie, this song must either be featured or, at the very least, the title must be exploited to remind us his last name is Black. Failure to comply will result in lost revenue, water boarding, and a disapproving raise of Jack's eyebrow, Rock-style. The Right Way: The Wrong Way:
7. "Bad Reputation" Joan Jett Joan Jett's ode to not caring that people hate her is a great rock anthem for both genders. The idea of brushing aside the reputation that other people have carved out for you is a wonderful lesson for both boys and girls. So naturally, Hollywood mucks it up by focusing entirely on the girl-power part and turning the song into one big headache. If you have a movie, and your movie has a girl, and the girl gets in trouble, and the girl wants to confront her trouble head-on, you can damn well expect Bad Reputation to start playing. And this goes for girls of all shapes and sizes, from pre-pubescent superheroes (Kick-Ass) to big green ogres who used to be princesses (Shrek). Fans of cute little Shirley Temple should be thankful her movies came out 80+ years ago, or she likely would've been tap-dancing to this song as well. In an adorable way, of course. The Right Way:
5. "O Fortuna"from Carmina Burana This is the eerie Latin chant that you hear in every trailer to every disaster movie ever. If you don't know which one we're talking about, click the Youtube link below. You'll recognize it almost immediately. Surprisingly, a lot of ominous Latin chanting, when translated to English, is kinda stupid. The spooky words suddenly become awful pre-teen poetry agonizing over petty annoyances in life. But O Fortuna's lyrics are a legitimately ominous ode to being enslaved and ruined by one's uncontrollable fate. Which, we admit, does sound less than fun. Because it sounds scary, and few people understand Latin outside of doctors and people who translate O Fortuna on the Internet, it has become an overused piece of stock music for whenever something wicked this way comes. Unfortunately, when used for movies like Jackass, where three idiots attempt to destroy themselves in hilarious ways, the power simply ceases to be. O Fortuna now exists as little more than a silly parody of pending doom. Pretty Much the Only Way:
The Wrong Way:
4. "Let's Get It On" Marvin Gaye Not all songs are badass because it sounds spooky or the singer wants to punch you. This song is badass because it's one of the sexiest songs of all time. Marvin Gaye could've gotten anybody into bed with this song, including you. And me. So it's a shame that roughly 14 billion wacky comedies have been released with this song used in as unsexy a manner as possible. The iconic wah-wah guitar opening used to signify legitimate sexual passion. Now, it lets us know comically ugly people are in love, a wacky main character sees a pretty girl who only talks to him because the script demands it, or a woman is hilariously groping a man who does not like her. Films such as Austin Powers and High Fidelity have guaranteed that any real-world attempt to seduce somebody using this song will earn uproarious laughter at best, a brick to the face at worst. The Right Way:
2. "We Will Rock You" Queen Queen's hooligan soccer chant is a timeless rock-radio classic. But everywhere else, it has mutated into a humongous joke, due to every genre using it for when any sporting event of any kind is featured. Perhaps producers like the simplicity; stomp-stomp-clap, stomp-stomp-clap, over and over again. A child does that when denied candy, only sometimes with rhythm. But aside from just using the song endlessly, movies (particularly comedies) like to play with the song's title in what is supposedly a clever manner. A Knight's Tale, which involves Heath Ledger before anyone knew he could act, uses not just the song, but changes it in the movie's poster, letting us know that "he will rock you." Cerebral. Kung Fu Panda 2 uses the song, but changes it to "we will wok you." Because a wok is an Asian thing, you see. And so is kung-fu, which is what the panda does. And pandas are Asian too, and…yes, somebody got paid a lot for this idea. The Right Way
The Wrong Way
1. "I Got You (I Feel Good)" James Brown James Brown is funky badass personified; on a related note, it sure feels nice to type a sentence that nobody will argue without coming across like an utter doofus. I Got You is one of Brown's most famous tunes, though it's likely only because they added "I Feel Good" to the title. Having the most famous part of a song not be the title can cause confusion and require some thought from the listener, many of who desire neither. That being said, if one more movie has a character celebrate being happy by dancing to this song or, Heaven help us, belting it out, it'll be too soon. If it's a wacky comedy starring Eddie Murphy, you can bet your life savings, with almost no risk whatsoever, that the song will be there. Non-Eddie, but still extremely non-funky, movies such as Garfield and Home Alone 4 (yes, FOUR) also delegate the song into goofy eyeball-roll territory. The Right Way:
