2. The English Teacher

Released in 2013, The English Teacher stars Julianne Moore as the titular educator Linda Sinclair, living in the small town of Kingston, Pennsylvania. When a former pupil (played by Michael Angarano) shows up after failing to succeed as a playwright, he's convinced by Linda to produce his play at her school.

Things get complicated, of course, when the two wind up sleeping together, culminating in a passionate, secretive affair. Throughout the movie there are plenty of great gags and as ever it's impossible to fault Moore's performance.

More importantly, the whole thing is deliciously taboo, touching on fantasy and repressed desire. It's the perfect movie to make two people throw caution to the wind and just get down to business.
