Are you a parent not getting enough loving? You're not alone.  Get about three drinks into any cocktail party (especially if men and women are in different rooms) and the talk will quickly turn to sex: He wants it, she doesn't.  She longs for it, but can't muster the energy after a long day of mothering or working and mothering. 

Fights over differing level of desire seem to heat up after having kids, when there is less of everything to go around, especially sleep.  And while on-line enterprises such as Babes in Toyland and Good Vibrations hock clever wares to address problems plaguing dull bedrooms everywhere, until they sell "Sleep in a Box" or "Daddy's Foreplay Kit: Do the Dishes" another pair of handcuffs and a leather thong won't solve the problem.

There are plenty of mamas who are just fine, thank you very much.  But for those who are too tired and resentful to bring back that loving feeling, here are some flicks that might help. Whether you're a sex-starved angry kitten or a hide-away Jane Austen dreaming of your Darcy, these 5 movies will definitely put you in the mood (especially if he cooks dinner and gives you a foot massage while you watch).

1. Casino Royale.  Daniel Craig in a swimsuit.  Daniel Craig in another swimsuit.  Daniel Craig with his shirt off.  Daniel Craig cuddling her in the shower and Sucking. Her. Fingers.

2. Gladiator. The testosterone can be licked off the screen as Russell Crowe in all his buff glory fights and yells through scene after scene wearing a suit of armor.  The big manly arms, the booming voice, the unfulfilled tenderness and heartache.  Somebody bring me some water!!

3. Fight Club.  Again with the testosterone.  Even though Brad is a tad slim for my taste (I want the beef!), he is so gorgeous and perfect as he pummels the crap out of his opponents, it makes a girl weak in the knees.

4. 8 Mile.  The totally untruthful tale about Eminem's youthful travails.  But those eyes and that body.  Somebody needs a spanking!  Nevermind the bad sex in the factory, at least it was sensitively delivered (he looked into her eyes the entire 5 minutes). 

5. Pride & Prejudice. The one filmed in 1995, not the nonsense with Keira Knightley.  Only the Brits can do Austen justice.  There is simply nothing more delicious than Colin Firth in all his snooty remove and overcoat begging for Elizabeth Bennett's hand in marriage (which she haughtily refuses). Colin, you make a girl swoon. 

No sex life can withstand the power of these movies to recharge the tired old love batteries.
