Ok, I'm running into some problems here reviewing a softcore flick, and I'm looking for some assistance.

A while ago, I got hold of an excellent hardcore flick called Italian Style. It's an overall great movie, and I gave it high scores.

So now, I get ahold of a softcore movie called A Taste of Italy, which is basically a softcore version of Italian Style. All penetration, cumshots and erections are removed. It's still a great looking movie though.

But here's my dilema. I don't understand who would want to see this movie. I always thought that softcore movies were supposed to have more story, more people slowing undressing, erotic caressing and stuff like that.

So I guess my question is, who buys these softcore flicks? Is it people that can't get hardcore anywhere, and have to settle for softcore? In that case, they wouldn't really care about story and stuff... they just want to see the most flesh possible from a DVD they buy at Sam Goody.

Or is softcore really for people who are looking for more than just tab A going into slot B (magnified 1 hex )?

Just what is it that makes a softcore flick "good"?

I've bought a couple but mostly by accident. I like Titan's Arousal but I almost never watch it. I've seen A Taste of Italy and I'm underwhelmed. Italian Style is good but probably not Kazan's best; its softcore counterpart seems little more to me than a mildly erotic travelogue.

In softcore, I want something to pique my interest and feed my imagination. I think softcore needs some semblance of a story and a good deal of romance in addition to pretty pictures and ample skin.

I think softcore is bought by accident or made to fit within the cable regulations (without having to make another movie.) Maybe it's just a teaser that's available for sale at "mainstream" stores to get people to venture further into the seedy world of porn ;)

The softcore I've seen has been like looking at pretty picture in a magazine. I'd like to see an erotic story. Potentially/Ideally softcore could provide us with all the things hardcore often lacks - kissing, undressing, sex in character, touching, etc.

jb, I can't speak for everybody, but I enjoy softcore. However, I do not usually buy it. Why I don't? I am not sure. Softcore edits of hardcore films are OK cause I get to see naked chicks, but I will admit that they leave me wanting the rest, especially since I know that other people out there are probably paying the same price for more.

I have contemplated reviewing some softcore stuff (Girls Gone Wild, Playboy Casting Calls), but wasn't sure if Steph and Drew or ADT members woudl really care. The biggest problem I can see is that it is like comparing apples to oranges.
