So, slip on something slinky, slide into bed, and cue up an evening of sultry cinematic tête-à-tête. The tension in some of the following movies like Fifty Shades of Grey practically feels like foreplay. The general appeal is the same, though: As humans with sexual agency, we crave stories that serve as sexual provocateurs. Some are even more so (prepare to blush). Some of these films aren’t quite as erotic as the escapades of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. And that’s precisely how we came to compile the ultimate list of movies like Fifty Shades of Grey. But that doesn’t change the fact that we occasionally want to cue up an erotic romance and lean into our erotic desires. Yes, yes, we know the book and movies are, in some ways, problematic.
We’re gonna level with you here - we don’t care what anyone says, sometimes we want to watch Jamie Dornan slip into (or out of) the suit of billionaire Christian Grey and become the dom of our dirty dreams.
