If 'they sex it up' in an exceptionally cheesy way, I suspect Heinlein wouldn't have liked it, but he would support their right to find their own level of self degradation.

Some divide Heinlein's works into his early works and later works, which had a lot more sex in them. Stranger written in 1961 was considered the first of the later works. I was never a big fan of Stranger in a Strange land, I will Fear No Evil or Time Enough for Love. Didn't like any of the novels after Time Enough for Love.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was always may favorite and one that I think would have made a great movie. I also liked the Glory Road (another good potential movie). If someone ever decided to actually make Starship Troopers into a movie that would be pretty interesting as well.
[yea, that's sarcasm based on my view that they totally missed the point of the book in the movie]
