BASIC INSTINCT

Anyone who's seen Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct sex scene is probably still lifting their jaw off the ground—it's that intense. So intense, in fact, that the MPAA simply could not even (you're probably sensing a theme here), and threatened not to fork over that coveted R rating. Director Paul Verhoeven ended up keeping the scene in after some light edits, saying, "Actually, I didn't have to cut many things. But I replaced things from different angles, made it a little more elliptical, a bit less direct." Naturally, the director's cut was released on DVD and features the sex scene in its original glory.
