4. Lolita (1962)
There’s sex in this movie, but this film was much more controversial due to content of the story being told. Stanley Kubrick adapted Lolita based on the Vladimir Nabokov novel, a story about a professor who marries his landlord to get close to her 14-year-old daughter (Lolita is played by Sue Lyon). He is introduced to Lolita in a back garden where she is only wearing a bikini. The two end up having an affair and then are forced to go on the run away from authorities because, well, she’s fourteen and in 1962 (especially in 1962) this is very much frowned upon!
