Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
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.
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.
dreamonforever1 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.
