Did you know there’s an ever-changing collection of sexually explicit movies on Peacock? If you have a Peacock subscription, you get more than original series Twisted Metal and Poker Face, all those extended “Superfan” episodes of The Office, live sports, and more!
With sexy horror movies, hot-and-heavy romantic comedies, and movies you probably watch just once, the popular streaming platform has more than enough to watch and set the mood. If you’ve ever wanted to use your subscription for a little exploration, these 11 movies ought to do the trick.
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
The Director: Darren Aronofsky
The Cast: Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans
Based On: Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr.
What It’s About: Four addicts attempt to make a better life for themselves, only to fall deeper and deeper into a seemingly never-ending downward spiral.
What To Expect: Requiem for a Dream is a drug-fueled, depressing, and intense exploration of addiction. If you haven’t seen it already, this hard-hitting drama has it all: drug use, depravity, nudity, and some of the most harrowing cinematic moments of the 21st century.
Joy Ride (2023)
The Director: Adele Lim
The Cast: Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu
What It’s About: A group of friends travels on a soul-searching and absolutely bonkers journey to China to find their roots but also have some not-so-clean fun along the way.
What To Expect: Seriously, Adele Lim’s Joy Ride takes everything you’re used to seeing in a sex comedy and turns it up a few notches. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll even cover your eyes at times.
Scarface (1983)
The Director: Brian De Palma
The Cast: Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer
Based On: Scarface by Armitage Trail
What It’s About: After escaping Communist Cuba, a young and ambitious refugee sets out to become the most powerful criminal in Florida, or even the world…
What To Expect: As Paul Engemann’s classic song from the fantastic Scarface soundtrack says, this movie pushes it to the limit. Its epic story is full of violence, complex characters, and yes, even some nudity along the way.
Old School (2003)
The Director: Todd Phillips
The Cast: Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell
What It’s About: Tired, bored, and depressed about the state of their personal and professional lives, three men decide to relive their college days by starting a new fraternity.
What To Expect: Some aspects of Old School haven’t aged well, but this is a movie that’s old enough to drink at this point (it came out 22 years ago). Released in the middle of the wild run for the “Frat Pack” actors of the early 2000s, this balls-to-the-wall comedy doesn’t hold back, for better or worse.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
The Director: Amy Heckerling
The Cast: Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold
Based On: Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story by Cameron Crowe
What It’s About: Several students at a California high school experience all life has to throw at them: the good, the bad, and the sometimes heartbreakingly ugly.
What To Expect: If you want to see some of the most iconic scenes from an ‘80s movie, young stars before they became the biggest hits, and so much secondhand embarrassment, Fast Times at Ridgemont High is going to do the trick, and then some.
Drive-Away Dolls (2024)
The Director: Ethan Coen
The Cast: Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein
What It’s About: Two friends find themselves in a sticky situation after they are given the wrong car before a big road trip. Instead of having fun in the sun of Florida, they find themselves in the middle of a criminal conspiracy.
What To Expect: Love, lust, murder, and mayhem are on the menu in Drive-Away Dolls. It’s silly, it’s raucous, and it’s dangerous as all hell.
National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978)
The Director: John Landis
The Cast: John Belushi, Tim Matheson, John Vernon
What It’s About: With the threat of expulsion becoming a reality, the members of the Delta Tau Chi fraternity do what anyone would do to stay in school: give ‘em hell!
What To Expect: On top of some of the wildest pranks in movie history, Animal House is full of iconic bits, even more iconic characters, violence, mayhem, and multiple risque segments.
Monkey Man (2024)
The Director: Dev Patel
The Cast: Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, Pitobash
What It’s About: Years after a group of criminals took everything from him, an underground fighter finally decides to lash out against them and get some old-fashioned revenge.
What To Expect: Dev Patel’s directorial debut, Monkey Man, has one outrageous action sequence after another, including some bone-crushing moments in a brothel.
Bros (2023)
The Director: Nicholas Stoller
The Cast: Billy Eichner, Luke Macfarlane, Guy Branum
What It’s About: Not wanting to call in a relationship, and doing everything they can to avoid the label, two New York men find it harder and harder to deny what’s happening.
What To Expect: If you want a fun, engaging, and sometimes over-the-top romantic comedy about two lovers who don’t know how much they need each other, Bros is going to be the movie for you.
Tangerine (2015)
The Director: Sean Baker
The Cast: Kitana Kiki Rodriguez, Mya Taylor, James Ransone
What It’s About: After getting out of jail and discovering that her boyfriend is cheating on her, a transgender sex worker spends Christmas Eve tracking down the man and his new fling.
What To Expect: With a quick pace, a story taking place over the course of a single day, and some intense interactions around every corner, Sean Baker’s Tangerine is an exhilarating movie under 90 minutes. And considering the movie is set in the world of sex workers, there’s a lot going on here.
The Love Witch (2016)
The Director: Anna Biller
The Cast: Samantha Robinson, Gian Keys, Jennifer Ingrum
What It’s About: A young and beautiful witch seduces a series of men in hopes of finding true love, but things get out of hand when her lovers start dying.
What To Expect: Anna Biller’s The Love Witch, which looks like it was released in 1966 instead of 2016, is a wild, fantastical, and highly sexually explicit female-led horror movie about love, lust, death, and rebirth.
