Crazy Rich Asians and the best sexy movies on Netflix in June 2024
By Reed Gaudens
Summer officially arrives in June 2024, and things aren't only heating up outside with the weather. This month, Netflix has also been adding a number of the sexiest movies for romance fans to enjoy. After all, these movies have to keep up with the steamy third season of Bridgerton.
Hit Man, the first Netflix original movie release of June, stars Glen Powell and Adria Arjona, and the movie loosely based on a true story definitely has its sexy moments. But there are plenty more sexy movies where that came from on Netflix this month, including Crazy Rich Asians.
Crazy Rich Asians
Based on the book of the same name by Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians landed on Netflix on June 6 and shot straight into the top 10 most popular movies ranking. The film centers on Rachel (Constance Wu), who travels with her boyfriend Nick (Henry Golding) to a wedding in Singapore and unexpectedly learns he comes from one of the wealthiest families in the country. While the rom-com's plenty sexy in its own right thanks to Wu and Golding's chemistry, the dazzling and opulent settings certainly add to the sexy factor.
Carol
Another page-to-screen adaptation, Carol adapts the Patricia Highsmith novel The Price of Salt with Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara in the leading roles. The movie takes place in the 1950s and tells the tale of the love affair between a photographer and an older woman weathering a divorce. The romance between Blanchett and Mara's characters earned the film critical praise, love from fans, and Academy Award nominations for both actresses. Don't miss the historical romance film when it lands on Netflix on June 17. It's the perfect watch for Pride Month!
Fifty Shades of Grey
If you can believe it, it's already been nine years since Fifty Shades of Grey first hit the big screen. The book trilogy by E. L. James became a viral bestseller back in the early 2010s, leading the high-profile film trilogy adaptation. Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan star in the erotic romantic drama movies as Ana Steele and Christian Grey, weaving their tangled love story from beginning to end. The first movie that started it all hits Netflix on June 18, and it's by far the steamiest and sexiest movie to land on the streamer this month. Watch it for the first or millionth time.
A Family Affair
For a lot of people, it just doesn't get any sexier than Zac Efron in a romantic comedy, and that's exactly what Netflix serves up with A Family Affair. Joey King and Nicole Kidman also star in the film as mother and daughter. When mother starts dating her daughter's boss (Efron), it's a strange shift in dynamic that changes everything. Surely, the romance between Kidman and Efron will be enough to make us all swoon, which is exactly what we went. Check out the new Netflix original movie when it premieres on June 28.
