Hello there. I'm a fan of classic porno movies from the 70's late 80's era where there used to be storylines and some acting even if the sex wasn't so good. I have seen the big films like Taboo, Misty Beethoven, Private Teacher, Deep Throat, Aunt peg etc but I'm wondering if there's anywhere (maybe a thread somewhere) of people discussing or recommending classics cause there are just so many.

Pretty sure we have a thread on this topic somewhere but no harm in starting a new one! Some of my favourites that are available on good quality DVD or blu-ray: Sex World (just came out!) V: The Hot One 3am Reflections Anna Obsessed Babyface Pretty Peaches Neon Nights Ecstasy Girls Misbehavin' Sexcapades Take Off Odyssey Through the Looking Glass (hopefully a good quality version will be put out by Vinegar Syndrome as both releases currently available aren't great, but it's a terrific film) Kinkier and darker stuff: Femmes De Sade/Waterpower (WP is cut a bit but still very strong stuff and both films look great and are landmarks) The Taking of Christina Defiance of Good Affairs of Janice Corruption That's just to start, I'd say. If these are too obvious we can dig into the more hidden gems. Edited by - BlackSix on 9/5/2015 6:34:38 AM
Thank you for the replies and the recommendations. I'll do some more diggin around in the forum see what others are saying. I recently saw Miami Spice 1+2 for the first time which was one of my favorite films.
^ Angela Summers was awesome in Miami Spice. Girls on Fire is a must - has a superstar cast. L'Amour is another must-see. also All-American Girls in Heat and Brazilian Connection
Here's the thread I think Blacksix is referencing: 20 favourite features pre-1983. Another thread that might prove useful is Porn for Skeptics. Not saying the OP is a skeptic, but the thread is ultimately a bunch of film suggestions that would win over a skeptic--kinda the same as where to begin if you're a novice. The films I listed in the first thread are: Through the Looking Glass (1976) Jack 'n' Jill (1979) Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann (1974) The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976) Amanda By Night (1981) American Desire (1981) Sex World (1978) Talk Dirty to Me (1980) Nothing to Hide (1981) Cafe Flesh (1982) The Devil in Miss Jones (1973) The Ecstasy Girls (1979) Taboo II (1982) Resurrection of Eve (1973) V: The Hot One (1978) Wet Rainbow (1974) - the only xxx film that's ever made me cry. Roommates (1981) Take Off (1978) Water Power (1977) Dracula Exotica (1980) FUN/SILLY ONES: Pizza Girls (1979) Candy Stripers (1978) Hot Rackets (1979) Garage Girls (1982) Stiff Competition (1984) Taboo: American Style (the whole series) Now I would definitely add Sexcapades (1983) and its sequel Great Sexpectations (1984), Smoker (1983), Barbara Broadcast (1977), and Firestorm (1984). Firestorm and Smoker are hard to find, though (the latter is cut on DVD). I would also highly recommend Raw Talent (1984) if you can find it uncut. Otherwise, don't bother.
I ♥ "The Devil In Miss Jones" [1973] ... Im not sure how to describe what makes the scenes hot... Georgina Spelvin isnt the most gorgeous woman but her scenes were ridiculously hot in a filthy sort of way... it had the "it" factor... and is a classic I dont mind overlooking the presence of 70's muff for ;)
I would also recommend "The X-Factor (1984), Blue Ecstasy (1980), Coming of Angels (1977), Eruption (1976), Games Women Ply (1980), Honey Pie (1975), and Expose Me Lovely (1976). A lot of my other favorites have been mentioned so I won't bore you and rename them.
Coming of Angels -The Sequal 1001 Erotic Nights Exposed Letters of Love Summer Camp Girls Getting Lucky Working it Out btw - the Angela Summers performance was actually in Malibu Spice a bit late for this thread (1992).
I got to see Pretty Peaches in HD and I gotta say it was one of the best porn movies I've watched. So crazy that it's from the 70s. I wish more of these films would get restored.

Diggin into classics is kind of daunting. I work in this damn business and find myself a little overwhelmed sometimes. We have over 800 films defined as classics on our retail site - so yeah. There's a lot to wade through. Granted, we've included a few from the 90's and even early 2000's (remember, hardcore porn only became legal in the UK in 2001), so our site ends up skewing a bit on occasion. However, we also have a sub-section on our site called Top Classics, and there's only 22 titles in there. Our product manager (and prolific ADT poster) Jacco oversees that category. There might be a few in there you've missed. Jacco has a good eye for this stuff, so it might be worth a look. Top Classics at Your Choice As far as 90's stuff, I wasted way too much time in the office watching Dirty Books a few weeks ago. Here's the ADT Page for it It's got this low-budget, but made with love kind of feel to it. :) I loved it!
Now, that is the kind of job I'd like to have! You are a lucky man Scott. I agree with you completely on "Dirty Books." Besides, you can't go wrong with a classic that has Ashlyn Gere and Ona Zee. Two of my all-time favorites. Now, I'll check out your link.

My job has it's moments, that's for sure. The only problem is that in seeing the best of the best, I also see the worst of the worst. Edited by - ScottMcGowan on 9/16/2015 10:15:19 AM
This list of classic titles amounts to the best flixxx that I've reviewed so far:
American Desire-----Baby Face-----Bella-----Debbie Does 'Em All-----Devil in Miss Jones-----Easy-----Expensive Tastes*-----Expose Me, Lovely*-----Hot Dreams*----Judgement Day Little Angel Puss-----Nasty Girls-----Nasty Lady-----Nothing to Hide-----Peek Freak----Second Coming of Eva-----Sexrageous*----Stray Cats* Taking of Christina*-----Temptations-----Trinity Brown-----Trouble with Young Stuff*-----V: The Hot One*-----Vista Valley PTA-----Women in Love/Woman in Love*
(Anything with an * should be a review that also has lagniappe "quickie reviews" that will lead you to other titles by a certain performer or director)---tb
First porn I ever saw was "The Spirit of Seventeen Seventy Sex. Saw it at the drive-in in Bangor, Maine, (yes, porn used to be at the drive-in way back then). It was 4 of us guys, just graduated high school, and we were all drinking those big bottles of Miller High Life. The movie finally explained what Ben Franklin did with the electricity he "discovered". I remember him charging up some girls vibrator. Real 70's porn, huge hairy bush on grainy film.
You should watch the Girls on F Street. It is not the best movie ever, but it is one of those movies that captured the 1980's style. Amber Lynn, Sharon Mitchell, Jerry Butler and Randy West are some of the stars in the movie. It is listed as available at different online DVD stores.
One you must see is Fleshdance, that was the very first porn movie I saw at a theater. Very hot, Shanna Evans is gorgeous.New Wave Hookers, the first one, is still a classic and it's one of the best, Inside Desiree Costeau, Hey-baby-hey (Les Delices du Tossing)-the hospital scene is really hot. Early Brigitte Lahaie-Traci Lords-Amber Lynn movies are great.
