9. The Sex Scene - Atomic Blonde

Focus Features

Atomic Blonde was basically this year's John Wick (well, apart from John Wick 2, obviously), as Charlize Theron was given the same cool, hyper-violent make-over treatment that did so well for Keanu Reeves before her.

Inevitably, one of the most talked about scenes of the entire movie - and the one Theron was seemingly forced to answer questions about at every single promotional interview and appearance - saw a super-charged sex scene between her and Sofia Boutella.

it's easily one of the most intense sex scenes of the year, lit wonderfully and stylishly and it's no surprise it generated a lot of attention.
