The Sexy Pool Scenes That Made Waves In The ‘00s
There is nothing quite like the simple pleasure of cooling off on a hot day in a swimming pool, and when it comes to cinema, there is nothing quite like being all hot and bothered watching our screen sirens get all slippery when wet!

SWIMMING POOL, Ludivine Sagnier, 2003, (c) Focus Features/courtesy Everett Collection
MOVIE: Swimming Pool (2003)
If we had to pick THE hottest film EVER to involve a swimming pool, we'd look no further than François Ozon's racy-mysterious-oozy Swimming Pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  To heck with the pool, it may be the hottest film EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Once you take a dip, you will never get forget the sights of Ludivine Sagnier and Charlotte Rampling's hot & wet bodies boding well in the Côte d'Azur sun.  My lord mon ami, you'll need to take 5 showers just to calm yourself down and cleanse yourself of what transgressed around the titular pool!

LOVE DON’T COST A THING, Christina Milian, 2003, (c) Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection
MOVIE: Love Don't Cost A Thing (2003)
How does Nick Cannon go from pool boy to cool boy in the remake of Can't Buy Me Love??  Sleep-walk on (pool) water in an attempt to reach the out-of-reach Christina Milian, belly flop back to reality, and through a happy (car) accident, bribe your way from totally geek to totally chic.

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert, 2004, TM & Copyright (c) 20th Century Fox Film Co
MOVIE: The Girl Next Door (2004)
Man, life is tough for poor, dorky Emile Hirsch. He got into Georgetown, but cannot afford it, but his fortunes in life and love all change when a former porn star (Elisha Cuthbert) moves to town and becomes The Girl Next Door!  And everyone's moviegoing life changed when they saw Cuthbert jump into the principal's pool, and into our hearts.  Forget about giving her a towel, we need it for ourselves to dry off. Cuthbert? More like CuthBEST!!

MOVIE: Alpha Dog (2006)
So much tragedy abound in 2006's Alpha Dog, based on the true story of the kidnapping and murder of Nicholas Markowitz. Nicholas was fictionalized in the movie and played onscreen by Anton Yelchin, who would later face his own only untimely death. Anton and his work will forever be with us in cinematic form, and one scene to truly remember him by is as the meat between the wet Amanda Seyfried and Amber Heard sandwich.  [insert taking a bit of a sandwich noise here]

SCOOP, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, 2006,(c) Focus Features / Courtesy Everett Collection
MOVIE: Scoop (2006)
Woody Allen's work got a lot more beautiful once he left New York for Europe... and made Scarlett Johansson his muse du jour... and put her in a swimming pool with Hugh Jackman. I mean, who wouldn't want to save a drowning Scarlett? Or be life-saved by Hugh???

DATE MOVIE, Sophie Monk, 2006. ©20th Century Fox/courtesy Everett
The 79th Academy Awards got it all wrong. The Best Original Screenplay shouldn't have gone to Little Miss Sunshine, it should have gone to Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer for writing this ridiculously crazy-a$$ scene in Date Movie for Sophie Monk, where she turns poolside corn eating and concertina (those mini-accordion looking instruments) playing into the oddest, sexiest JO material this side of Jessica Rabbit!
