I know what gonzo and all sex is. AT least I think I do:

Gonzo- is where the talent acknowledge the cam
All Sex- is where the talent does not

But what separates a vignette from these?
Isn't a vignette a series of scenes that are unrelated to each other and can stand alone? but does this not have some crossover on the other categories?

I'd like to know the difference between gonzo, anal, and wall-to-wall. AVN has reviews for films that they call wall-to-wall which I would call anal or gonzo.

I think:

Gonzo: a movie done in a style the viewer is made aware there is something like a camera, most often by using the camera as a character.

vignette: kind of an episode film in analogy to an anthology of short stories. The episodes may be totally independant from each other.

all-sex: X % (X near 100%) of the screen time is dedicated to sex scenes

"Riot Sluts" would meet the classification as an all-sex gonzo vignette, e.g., AGSOI that of an all-sex Gonzo.

That still does not clear anything up. By this same token, this would mean that Jules Jordan's Take no Prisoners is a vignette.

For me, vignette means that the sex is placed in some sort of context, usually a fictional situation with the performers portraying characters rather than just "playing themselves." In a vignette movie, the fictional situation from one scene usually isn't carried over into the next. The scenes can be totally independent or related thematically, but usually the movie has the feeling of a compilation, as Zartyr said.

All-sex and wall-to-wall mean no fictional situation, no significant part of the movie's running time devoted to anything but sex. This would exclude the little set-ups featured in vignette-style movies, so for me the two categories are pretty distinct.
