> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > _Flesh and Blood_ with Rutger Hauer is, I think, sort of a sexploitation film, sort of a dark comedy, and sort of a historical epic. But it’s a pretty entertaining movie, even if it is a rather bizarre mix of genres. I disagree that it is a sexploitation film. You have some decent writing, some good acting, and a film that has a purpose and story even if you delete all the sex. ---

> [@Superfluous\_Parentheses](#): > > From that list, the only one I’ve seen is the 1976 [Alice in Wonderland](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074113/). Pretty watchable, though the version I have seems to be an old VHS transfer. One of the better sexploitation/porno/musicals I know. 🙂 Ah, yes. Porn musicals. They don’t write 'em like that anymore. Another good one is the 1977 [Cinderella](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075849/). These two I have not seen myself, but have read good reviews: [Grimm’s Fairytales for Adults](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064394/). And an x-rated Italian version of _Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs_, which, at the moment, I am having difficulty finding on imdb and Amazon. Possibly [Biancaneve & Co.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128076/), though I am not certain. ---

Another vote for the 1976 _Alice in Wonderland_. Roger Ebert gave it a thumbs up, too. ---

You have to include the Italian horror master in this list. Mario Bava practically invented the mix of horror and sex. My favorites are the two he did with Elke Sommer _Baron Blood_ and _Lisa and the Devil_ I have this as a double feature laserdisk. > **[Baron Blood (1972) ⭐ 5.9 | Horror](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069048/)** > > 1h 30m | PG > **[Lisa and the Devil (1973) ⭐ 6.3 | Horror, Mystery](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068863/)** > > 1h 35m | Not Rated on DVD the box set has these two feature films (plus 3 others) on sale for only $22 > **[Amazon.com: The Mario Bava Collection: Volume Two (Lisa and the Devil / House of...](https://www.amazon.com/Mario-Bava-Collection-Kidnapped-Winchester/dp/B000UVV23S)** > > BAVA BOX SET VOL 2 - DVD Movie ---

> [@Walloon](#): > > Another vote for the 1976 _Alice in Wonderland_. Roger Ebert gave it a thumbs up, too. Yes. Totally unbelievably - because I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it myself - the musical numbers are better than the sex parts, even in the XXX version. How many original movie musicals of that era can you name with consistently good original musical numbers? The dancers were recruited from legitimate dance companies, although some also had side careers in adult films. (You can tell they’re real dancers because they’re all A-cups.) Larry Gelman played the White Rabbit and he is instantly recognizable because he had more than a hundred tv roles over the years, before and after the movie. Alice is Kristine DeBell (not to be confused with the other blonde Kristen Bell) and she is so Disney innocent lovely that she went on (this is her first movie credit) to a legitimate performing career until the movie was re-released and her career died an instant death. Movies like this were why porn gained some legitimacy in the 70s and people thought that real sex could be integrated into legitimate films. It is light years different in tone from Deep Throat or the other porno chic movies. It is also mostly unique. ---

_Alice_’s music director was Peter Matz, moonlighting from _The Carol Burnett Show_ — and who was nominated for an Academy Award for _Funny Lady_ that same year. ---

These things seem to have so much subjective taste aspects to them that suggestions are difficult or imposable. Personally I would suggest some Tinto Brass before Caligula. Fellini Satyricon is probably one on my top five lists of all films, I see it as erotica with sexploitation but it usually isn’t classified as such by the rental agencies.
