> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > 1. The Moon Is Blue (1953) > > The first movie to use the taboo word “virgin”. Not at all. It didn’t take long to google-up an earlier example, even excluding more ‘innocent’ uses like _virgin forest_, or _Virgin Mary_. From Stingaree (1934): Mrs. Clarkson: …Why, the very foundation of empire is woman’s virginity. Sir Julian Kent: Chastity, madame, chastity. No empire would get very far with virginity. **Movies you know you _should_ watch, but just never have** 1. Schindler’s List 2. Rocky ---

The Razor’s Edge I am aware that this is not a common opinion and I agree that Bill Murray was not up to the starring role despite this being his own vanity project, but the script really trimmed and tightened up a lot of the pretentious twaddle in Somerset Maugham’s book and, Murray aside, the cast was great. ---
