Lassie, Babe, Old Yeller – not just films, but enduring movie classics. But why do we love them so?
It’s simple. It’s because animals are sexy. It’s not an exaggeration that all of us – even you, ladies – have had to stifle an erection during Free Willy or that Clint Eastwood film with the sexy monkey in it. There’s no point trying to deny it – it’s simple human nature. Animals are just sexy. They just are.
But which are the ten sexiest animals to have ever appeared in a movie? That’s harder to pinpoint. After a lot of office debate, we think we’ve finally whittled it down. Sure, there may be some movie animals not included in this list that you find sexually irresistible. Be sure to let us know the ones we’ve missed. Enjoy…

Those unashamedly bad rubber suits that ruled the fore in the 50s, those ridiculous unscary and unreliable mechanical monsters that kept breaking down in the 70s and the even less tangible CGI cartoon creations that have been unleashed in recent times.
Let us present to you seven of the worst and least scariest cinematic creations (additional wetter suggestions are, as always, most welcome)…

Why do we love being scared by movies so much?
Where is the satisfaction in being forced to jump out of our skins as someone or something leaps out at the least obvious moment? Why do we do it to ourselves? Is it a battle of wills between us and the director to see whether he can make you actually make you physically shit yourselves?
Or it that same impulse that when someone tells you to smell something bad, you can't help but do it? It's OK, we've all done it. Whatever the reason, some directors have certainly succeeded where others have failed by making you actually lift off out of your seat.
