Here, Visceral’s picks for hot movies that will make you sweat.
Movies That Will Make You Sweat
Y TU MAMA TAMBIÉN
The fact that both Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal star in this movie is enough in itself to get some serious fire points. However, just wait until the hot duo team up with a newly-single drop-dead gorgeous older woman for a road trip, and we’ll let your imagination run as to where things could possibly go . . .
EL ANGEL
The main character of this movie, Carlos, is anything but an angel. His innocent face serves merely as a cover for the darkness that lies underneath. The adventures of this small-time thief turned big-time criminal take you through the dark mind and actions of the real-life Carlos Robleto Puch, the longest-serving prisoner in the history of Argentina. Sexy, mysterious, and full of forbidden fruits, El Angel will have you on the edge of your seat.
REZETA
New to the scene in Mexico is stunning model Rezeta and it doesn’t take long for her to get intertwined with the males pining for her attention. None seem to be promising until she meets maintenance worker Alex, and their romance blossoms into something real. This one will tug at both your pant strings and your heart strings.
VOLVER
We were sold at Penelope Cruz, but we promise there is more to this film than just staring at this absolute stunner. This movie covers every topic from tame to taboo — humor, family, fear, murder, adultery, and incest — and does so in a way that will win you over with its creativity and unexpectedness. A sexy mystery, this flick will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
SEX AND LUCÍA
Total babe Paz Vega stars in this sexy film about life after death. That doesn’t sound sexy but trust us, the way director Julio Medem does it, it is. Vega moves to an island off the coast of Spain following her lover’s death, and here uncovers many secrets about him and his past. Expect lots of hot and naked bods in this flick but absolutely zero complaints about it.
