So many to list as an actor. I'd agree with most of mcewan's suggestions.
I really haven't seen much of his gonzo work as a director, but I like Dog Walker very much as well. Earlier today GoreGoreGirl recommended me Nightshift Nurses so I'll definitely be checking that one out.

I truly regret not seeing Wicked Sensations I wish I have and I hope it sees the light of day in some sort of release form.

Nothing to Hide is probably my favourite performance from Leslie, and Chameleons Not the Sequel is my favourite feature from him.

Really nice idea mcewan! And excellent choices - I agree, especially:
The Ecstasy Girls (overall my favourite hardcore film)
Talk Dirty to Me
Nothing to Hide
Sex World
Wicked Sensations (I've seen it, and it really is worth finding)
Every Woman Has a Fantasy
Smoker
I also like Talk Dirty to Me 2 - it's no Nothing to Hide, but it's good in its own right, and John is great in it.
As a director, I haven't seen many, but as john lyons pointed out, Night Shift Nurses stands out as the best I've seen. Lots of fun, with an off-kilter tone. And I pretty much lap up anything in which he plays the harmonica. :)

A few classics not mentioned---Trinity Brown, Judgement Day and The Honeymooners. Of those three, I would recommend TB in terms of John Leslie getting so much screen time in a solid flick. From his gonzo stuff, I liked early entries in the Fresh Meat series but not the first one. Drop Sex is also kinda cool.

Strangely, the part of his that sprang first to mind was his guido (his name really was Guido) strip club owner who gets unemployed college girl Tara Aire to emcee his shows.
Tara turns the tables on him and comes into his office dressed, coiffed, and talking like a Guidette.
She fucks him on the desk or vice versa, it's hard to tell, and I always run for a towel.
Movie is called "Striptease" and Colleen Brennan is also incendiary in it. Kristara Barrington very hot too.

I feel like an outsider as I haven't seen much of John's acting other than "Briana Love: Her Fine Sexy Self" (But, that was enough to make me understand why he was one of the greats). For Directing, I always liked "Rachel's Choice" and his "The Voyeur" series.
I am hoping to pick up "Fresh Meat 28" this week, I had that on my list before I heard about his passing.

^ Become an "insider"! Watch some of the suggested older titles - it'll be worth your time.
I'm told Brianna: Her Fine Sexy Self is great. I'll be picking that up.

I started thinking about all the beautiful women that he's been with on screen and a few scenes jumped out at me for not only being great scenes but also scenes with beautiful women that made so few films: John and Jamie Gillis both have a scene with the lovely Diana Holt in HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES, John and Moira Benson have a fabulous encounter that bookends JUDGEMENT DAY, John's encounter with Elizabeth Randolph at the opening of NOTHING TO HIDE is simply terrific.

Absolutely Not!!!!
As is I made sure I started a thread here in the Feature Side About John Leslie (R.I.P.).
I remember last April when Marilyn Chambers (R.I.P.) passed away John Lyons posted a R.I.P. Thread and it was locked because there was one already in the Star Crossed Section.Black Six made the comment this thread should be here in the Feature Side because it's here in the Feature Side where she will be truly be appreciated and payed the respect that she truly deserves.With John Leslie being my porn idol I wanted to keep his memory alive by paying tribute to him by remembering what a great actor and director he truly was.The conversation taking place here is mostly about feature films from The Golden Age Of Porn.
Getting back on track here some fun films and videos of John Leslie's that I remember they weren't exactly favorites they were a lot of fun to watch though.
Passions - A forgotten film directed by Alex De Renzy and it was narrated by Stacey Donovan.I also remembered it received a Three Quarters Of An Erection from Hustler one step below Fully Erect Hustler's Highest which at the time still meant something,they went on to mention a very rare performance Richard Pacheco my second favorite adult actor due to the fact he worked so well along side with John Leslie,well Richard Pacheco's scene was with Angel (a.k.a. Brandee,Jennifer James).This definitely drew my interest and years later when I saw that it was being sold at the Pleasure Chest in West Hollweird,California in those small little boxes titles from VCA Pictures I definitely purchased it.
Matinee Idol - John Leslie and Jesie St.James always had such great chemistry together and Angel (a.k.a. Brandee,Jennifer James) makes her debut taking on over the role from Shauna Grant (R.I.P.)who just committed suicide.
Teeny Buns - A favorite of the late X-Rated Film Historian Jim Holliday (R.I.P.).
High School Memories - I only saw the soft core version of this film.
Expensive Taste - A rather violent film.
Desires Within Young Girls - Where he takes on two different roles,in one role he plays an older man and from what I heard he begged for this role wanting to accept the challenge this part of the older is at the very beginning of the film.He also has a role where he is seen throughout the movie and develops a love interest for Clair Dia.
Fleshdance - One of the few films with Shana Evans.
Golden Girls - A cheesy flick from 1984 the same year I graduated from high-school.
Candy's Little Sugar - A nice shot on video (for that time period extremely rare) directed by Gerard Damiano and what really stood out in this video was the excellent acting performace turned by Ariel Knight best known for her performance in Pretty Peaches 2.
Shaun Costello (Box Set From Alpha Blue)- John Leslie appears in quite a few films here the titles slip my mind here.I John Leslie and Shaun Costello worked extremely well together as actors.
Now Titles Of John Leslie That I Truly Need To Get Around To Seeing.
Anna Obsessed
Ball Busters
Champagne For Breakfast
Wild Things 1 & 2
John Leslie All For His Ladies

I'm surprised noone's mentioned "F".
This was the first porn film I ever saw and it's a corker, with John entering a mysterious house of fantasy orchestrated by Annette Haven.
During his wanderings he plays with wind-up dolls (Kandi Barbour) and sexy, slithering gun molls (Rhonda Jo Petty and Seka).
To this day I find it highly ejaculative.

Saratoga my Naci Suiter admiring friend checkout the first post in the thread.
I remember good ole Cannonball and the fine list of lasses in the cast as well as purchasing this classic film in the 90's a Le Sex Shoppe on Hollyweird and Vine in Hollyweird,California.
When comes to John Leslie I'm trying to cover as much as I remember.

Ahh, missed it the first go-round. Right, "Cannonball". I remember that name fueling the whole myster / fantasy element of the picture.

F is amazing, one of the best xxx comedies I've seen. I also remember John from the opening scene in Reflections, one of the first, and still best features I've seen.

What I'm finding interesting here is that porn performers of the Golden Age can legitimately take pride in their work as though they were mainstream stars. And for the few like John, Jamie, Ron, and Mike, they have so many more pictures up for discussion than do their mainstream counterparts.
That's a life worth pinching oneself over.

Even though my first Leslie film was several years ago, I've just recently started hunting down his work so I'm enjoying this thread.
As far as acting, he's typically the highlight even if he only appears to flirt and fuck. The first movie I saw him act in was Candy's Little Sister Sugar. His character was such a dick! Took a couple of other movies to realize he was just a great actor. :)
Most of the directing work I've seen of his was from the late 80s/early 90s. Mostly smaller budget videos. Has anyone mentioned The Tease? An excellent example of one of the things that made Leslie unique to me: the ability to build sexual tension and anticipation.

In case you missed in the other Leslie thread, here is Kevin Moore's great video tribute to John, including his paintings and several classic scenes from Easy Alice, Exposed (still not on DVD!), Lust at First Bite, Nothing to Hide, The Lecher, Dog Walker, etc.

Wher do you start? John was one of the finest actors/performers , and became one of porns best directors as well . He definatly had his own style , and was one of the most reliable guys to create mood and tension .
Some of my favorites from the 70's ,out of many ,
High School Memories
Vista Valley PTA
Outlaw Ladies-John bangs lawyer Veronica Hart in the ass over a desk as she's on the phone , what a scene.
Desires Within Young Girls
Expensive Tastes-kinda violent but hot
Every Woman Has a Fantasy-funny and hot massaging Lois Ayers
The Honeymooners-silly but he's great with C J Laing
Nothing To Hide
Wicked Sensations
Judgment Day-so sexy and romantic with Moira Benson
the 80's
Talk Dirty to Me 4 , Shanna McCullough my all time favorite-so many great scenes with John , this one's my fav , he also gets another fav Taija Rae
Nightshift Nurses , great DP of Siobhan Hunter
Talk Dirty to Me 3 and Breaking It with Traci Lords , the latter was scorching.
Wild Things , with Robin Cannes-super scene

He really was a great director , in the 80's with VCA with so many boxcover one day wonders , he could really turn out something different.
Goin Down Slow-with Shanna McCullough
Mad Love-Kendall Marx aka Lisa Bright
Chameleons-Tori Wellesand April West ,he really hit his stride here , the sequel as well , Chameleons - the stunning Fawn Miller
Hot Scalding
Sexophrenia-Brittany OConnell
Then he went to Evil Angel , what a career there .
The Voyeur
#-Draghixa
#2 Mellisa Hill
#4- Kirsty Waay
#6 Tricia Devareux and Nikki Brantz , one of the hottest scenes I have ever seen.
#12 Evelyn Stone
so many others , Dirty Tricks , Crack Her Jack, Gobble The Goop and the recent Dont Make me Beg .
If you havn't seen some of the older stuff , check it out-he's a genius.

Let me nota another , The Vouyer 11-virtually every scene is stunning. All european girls , but each is more beautifull and naturally pretty than the next , well shot and lit , and each has great chemistry-everybody seems to be really into each other .

I certainly enjoyed many of the prevusly mentioned titles, especially F, Dixie Ray, and Ecstasy Girls. I also loved his part in Coming of Angels: the running gag (in an otherwise fairly dark movie) was that each of hs sex scenes is interrupted, leaving him constantly frustrated. A world-class cast of women in this makes it a particularly memorable movie.

I rewatched this for the third time last week, because I feel like viewing #1 and 2 I didn't "get it" or for some reason it didn't knock my socks off. Yet, I remember feeling like there would be a time in my life where I "got it" completely and it would resonate in the way I had hoped a flick starring only John Leslie in every scene. Well, third times a charm.

I liked F very much. Oddly, what it made me think of was the old Hope/Crosby Road to ... movies. I can't explain why, but it just had for me a similar offbeat feel in the various adventures as Leslie and the other man he meets up with wander about the house/wet dream factory. (So go ahead, call me loony.) I must take this as a reminder to pull F out for another viewing -- it's been a while.

I've been looking for a scene/movie for quite awhile. John Leslie peeks into a bedroom and a girl is lying on the bed asleep. She had the look of Nina DePonca, but I'm not sure if it was her. The scene is a little too dimly lit as I recall.
That's about all I can remember, except she MAY have been wearing white or light blue lingerie before John got it off her.
Does this ring any bells for someone?

Leslie has made so many good films, but my favourite is Femmes De Sade.
Also worth checking out is Venture Into the Bizzare. Leslie stars as Clint Westwood!

John has a terrific scene with super cute Eva Hausman in the closing fantasy sequence of SKIN ON SKIN (1980---!!!!) with Eva letting loose a bit of German during their love-making.
