ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Prismark10 X-Rated: The Greatest Adult Movies of All Time is a rather flimsy look at the classic porn films from Deep Throat to the more recent output which tends to be parody films like that of Star Wars.The documentary is presented by porn actress Chanel Preston is more interesting when it discusses the movies of the 1970s and 80s. We even get to hear from some of the performers from that era, Johnny Keyes and Georgina Spelvin. Sadly some of the stars from that era such as Jamie Gillis are no longer with us and not featured here although their behaviour is discussed. Some like Annette Haven have turned their back on the industry.I did it find it amusing to hear modern porn stars talking in depth about movies such as The Devil in Miss Jones. I doubt they have even seen these classic movies never mind analyse them.The film lost interest for me when it came to the recent era where the definition of classic porn is how many Adult Video awards it has won. It was interesting to see how many of these newer films use green screen and claim to have higher budgets and more shooting days at a time when the pron films are easily torrented. However the Star Wars parody was rather well done.It was all rather gossamer thin which probably should had concentrated more on porn until the year 2000.
Michael_Elliott X-Rated: The Greatest Adult Movies of All Time (2015) *** (out of 4)Chanel Preston hosts this documentary that takes a look at the greatest porn movies ever made. Interviews include Sharon Mitchell, Kay Parker, Jacky St. James, Jenna Jameson, Georgina Spelvin, Marilyn Champbers (archival), David Bertoloino and various others.If you're looking for a hard hitting and critical look at the genre then this here really isn't that. What the film works best as is a check-list so those who do enjoy the genre can check out some titles that you might not already be familiar with. "Classics" like DEEP THROAT, THE DEVIL IN MISS JONES, TABOO and DEBBIE DOES DALLAS are all discussed as is more current films like PIRATES, STAR WARS XXX: A PORN PARODY, DARK ANGELS, LOOKER and countless others.Again, there's not really anything ground-breaking here but it at least gives you a good selection of titles that you can check out. There are some stories shared about the making of the film and this is especially true and nice in regards to the classics from the 1970s.
MovieHoliks I saw this last week, and didn't review it until now due to the fact I forgot the name- probably because it's so generic-?? LOL Not sure if this was a Showtime original or what-not, but this doc. goes through what are supposedly the greatest adult movies of all time, starting with the "golden age of porn" in the early '70s, and going all the way to the recent years of big-budget extravaganzas. Of course it goes into the early classics like "Deep Throat", "Behind the Green Door", "The Devil In Miss Jones", etc.. But I think once you get past a certain point in the "video age", the market was flooded with so many titles, it's hard to pin point so few-?? A couple I was very disappointed they left out were 1997's "Bad Wives", which was penned by a TV writer who always wanted to write a big-budget porno, and "Zazel: The Scent of Love" (I think released the same year- ??), which is one of the most amazing, beautiful and glorious pieces of filmmaking, adult or mainstream, I think I've ever seen-?? Lots of interviews are also conducted with those from earlier works, as well as present-day performers discussing the classics. Overall, an interesting documentary, and definitely worth watching for porn enthusiasts and just general movie-goers...
Chad C Parsley X-rated: The Greatest Adult Movies of All Time. This was such a fun little documentary! I've seen (and sold) many of these over the years when i worked in adult shops. But the HISTORY of them is fascinating! How many played in BIG SCREEN theaters...for ten years! And what a huge thing it was for VHS! Absolutely fascinating and often hysterical look at the Straight Porn Industry. (The one complaint I have is that they interviewed Men and Women of Porn, and showed Dozens and Dozens of sex scenes, Tits, Pussy and more, yet never even showed a glimpse of a cock. Sad that even when doing a documentary about porn you can't show a penis.) But this was a great documentary. I REALLY loved the beginning history, of the old tyme porn flicks of the 1800's to the early big hits and some of their secrets. I laughed a LOT. Very enjoyable.
