The main character is a school teacher obsessed with an old sentai show from the 70's and even makes himself a costume and starts fighting crime (the first villain he beats is wearing a crab on his head) His family life is going to shit and he's trying to escape into this superhero world. Then a real alien threat rears its head.

Those are just the ones that become popular here. You don't see the mainstream dramas and comedies because they're not that much different from western ones. There's nothing to make them stand out.

Zebraman is awesome, one of Miike's better films. Love the theme song! Goes on a bit too long (as do a lot of Miike's films...).

A cracker.

Pulp Fiction, again...

^^ my favourite movie ever. Everyone's dialogue in that film is perfect



Watching Gran Torino. First time made me tear up since Clint's character was exactly like my dead grandfather to a T.

Blue State - too much whining - gave up 2/3 in.

I've just been rewatching some movies with my friend lately, we watched a shit ton of movies in the past 3 days.. Zero, I'm a Cyborg but That's Okay, Reflections of Evil, Sonatine, Neon Maniacs, Liquid Sky, Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, Bad Liuetenant, and Videodrome!!

Yes.

-Thinking XXX
-Girl Next Door (there are at least 4 well-known films called this and 2 involve porn; but one is a porn documentary)
-True Life: I'm a Porn Star (which of course airs on MTV and isn't sold separately but you can probably find this on torrents and youtube and such)
-there was an HBO 5-part series about porn.. how to get into the business, profiles of people already there, etc. Again, I saw this on a torrent about a year ago but have no idea what it's called, but it looked intriguing.
- Inside Deep Throat (this counts but it's probably not what you're looking for)
- Pornography (yes, that's what it's called, it's 5 hours on 2 discs, you can just look it up on amazon and it should come up)
- Being Ron Jeremy
- Porn Star Pets (this isn't what you're looking for but I had to throw it in, haha.. it's about porn stars and their pets; that's really what the documentary is about! Though actually it's a pretty good display of porn stars in a "natural" environment so it's pretty interesting stuff)
- Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
- Sick (not really porn but it explores some of the same psychology that goes into porn and performance art and such... and there's some pretty crazy stuff in it, like a guy drinking goat piss from a bottle while wearing adiaper after being tied up for weeks; also a scene where he nails his dick to a board)
- Indie Sex (this isn't really about PORN but sex in general and it's pretty cool)

Here's some more that aren't docs but you might be interested in:
- Adored: Diary of a Porn Star
- Porn Theatre
- Rated X
- This Girl's Life
- Hardcore (there's 2 films called this; one's about porn, one's about prostitution, both are good though.. the one about porn was directed by the guy who wrote Taxi Driver)
- Sex Sells

[demonrail666]

I saw a film in the early 90s I think which featured Sharon Kane that was a look at the industry. It may be one of the titles Atsonicpark already listed but I can't say for sure cos I forget its name. It was pretty good anyway. Kind of an insiders look at the life of a porn star rather than a look at the industry as a whole.

It's not a documentary but the best feature film about the porn industry in Britain in the 70s is definitely Eskimo Nell.

[ALIEN ANAL]

Thanks for the list sir

what im wanting is a sort of Making of/Behind the scenes of a proper porn film, not just a topless photo shoot.

I watched Girl next door a while back but back then i jsut wanted to see naked women so i might get that again

[atsonicpark]

Yeah, the best in my list is probably the one called PORNOGRAPHY; very comprehensive... it's like a huge history of the porn business but there's some other stuff in it that's nice. SEX: THE ANNABEL CHONG STORY is a making-of of a movie where she supposedly has sex with like 300 dudes. Her vagina gets sore and bleeds and such. Pretty crazy stuff.

ALIEN ANAL - This is one of the episodes on Louis Theroux's Weird Weekend series which looks into the porn industry, it's pretty funny too.
