The 10 Most Memorable Threesome Scenes in Movies

After drinking some "strong tea," mild-mannered journalist Matilda Jeffries (Taylor) confides in Derek Zoolander (Stiller) and Hansel McDonald (Wilson) that she hasn't had sex in over a year. Simply blown away by the news, the two moronic male models proceed to make sweet love to Matilda in Hansel's compound, with some help from a few Finnish dwarves and a handful of Maori tribesman.

While this scene is relatively tame in comparison to others on the list, we think it bears inclusion, considering it includes Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz, two of the sexiest women on the planet. In this 2008 Woody Allen film, the adventurous American tourist Cristina (Johansson) and Penelope, who plays the explosive artist, Maria Elena, whom she ends up bunking with, wind up making out in the heat of passion while in a darkroom. Before long, they pull Juan Antonio (Bardem), Maria's ex-husband, into the mix for a quickie.

Recently, Kristen Stewart has been making headlines for her risqué performance in this year's Walter Salles-directed Jack Kerouac adaptation, On the Road. In the movie, Stewart plays a sexually uninhibited 16-year-old free spirit named Marylou. Marylou, along with her husband Dean (Hedlund), have a couple of threesomes with Sal Paradise (Riley), a young writer whom the couple wind up on a road trip with. First, Marylou simultaneously pleasures both of them while all three strip down in their car, and second, the trio wind up in bed together at one of their stops across the country.

Perhaps the most famous gratuitous of all time took place in 1998's seedy thriller, Wild Things. In the film, the criminal trio—Sam Lombardo (Dillon) and two high school students, Kelly Van Ryan (Richards) and Suzie Toller (Campbell)—pull off a successful con that's set to make them all rich beyond their wildest dreams. How do they choose to celebrate? By pouring champagne all over each other and having steamy sex in a Florida motel, of course.

Written by Harmony Korine and directed by Larry Clark as a follow up to 1995's controversial drama Kids, the film, which follows the abusive and dysfunctional home lives of a group of teens in Visalia, CA, was famously banned in multiple countries, including Australia and France, for its explicit content, ranging from incestuous relationships to rape and suicide. Among those scandalous scenes was a threesome between three troubled teen friends, Shawn (Bullard), Claude (Jasson), and Peaches (Limos).

In this 2001 critical darling, two teenage boys—played by Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna—set off on a road trip across Mexico to a mythical beach called la Boca del Cielo. They're accompanied by Verdú's Luisa, a sexy twentysomething. After arriving at the beach, and after Luisa learns of her husband's infidelity, the trio get drunk and engage in a wild subtitled sex scene.

In this twisted little scene in the film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel of the same name, Christian Bale's Patrick Bateman hires two prostitutes, explains to them why Phil Collins is the most prolific songwriter of the 1980s, then proceeds to film himself having sex with them both. He does so while listening to Collins' "Sussudio" and staring at himself in a mirror, making American Psycho the perfect title for the flick.

In director Steve McQueen’s 2011 sex-addiction drama, Michael Fassbender's troubled character, Brandon, wanders into a building that turns out to be an underground gay sex club. After observing and briefly participating in an orgy, he hires a pair of prostitutes for an intense scene that leaves viewers wondering whether or not actual sex took place during filming.
