This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Better Late Then Never

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

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...

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.

If you fancy "adult entertainment" (as "art", as "erotica", as "cinema"...whatever), and aren't a "pervert", then you'll like this doc. It's hosted by the vivacious (great 'word for the day') Chanel Preston, and basically plots the evolution/transformation of feature-length sex movies since the early 1920s. NOte: this is an R-rated documentary about the X-rated film industry. Several directors and actors from the best known of the movies since the 70s are interviewed (along with a few contemporary performers), and the interviews are enlightening if for no other reason than that they show people who had/have fun doing what they did/do, and who are sincerely trying raise their genre of movies to another level.
