I lust och nöd (1976)
Excellent movie, but NOT porn
CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS Well.....I cannot believe I am the only one with a copy of this movie, seeing as how I only recorded it off Showtime in the 1980's, while I was an adolescent boy, wanting to see naked girls LOL. I recorded in on long play VHS, and just transferred it to DVD. I thought that the transfer was bad, but it turns out that the movie was shot grainy and static(y). It only adds to the realism of the movie though, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's a fluke I even have it, as I had gotten rid of dozens of old taped Showtime shows at one point, and saved this one for some reason. Even being young, I must have seen something in it, besides the nudity. My copy is called "Liz," has English speaking with no subtitles, and does have the lesbian/orgy scene at the end, just before she goes home, and then to the old man in the woods. I would classify this as a Hard "R" rating, more than an X rating. I do know that Showtime, at the time, did not edit their movies, and this one was always on in the middle of the night. I have no clue whatsoever if any other Harder or softer versions exist. I don't care, because I like mine just the way it is.
As an adult, and having seen countless hours of real porn, this movie is a keeper. Great acting, realism, no XXX shots with people posing while having sex, etc..... Everyone is natural too, and most importantly, this movie was written from a female's point of view, and even dabbles in Philosophy a bit. "You can't change what you are...." Great stuff.
Martians Go Home (1989)
Comical, easy to watch film.....
I have no clue why people are leaving lousy comments on this movie. When you want to critique a movie, you can't judge all movies by a single, concrete formula and then criticize it. One has to take into account what the writer/director/producer was trying to do with the movie, then see if they did it after you've watched it. Martians Go Home is a FARCICAL COMEDY, never pretending to be or trying to be an academy award winning piece of cinematic art. It's about a billion green men and women (Martians) that arrive on Earth because an Earth-bound human music composer inadvertently sent a piece of music into space that just so happens to be the melody that the Martians take as an invitation to visit. ALL OF THEM. Then, the Earth people find out that the Martians absolutely detest dishonesty in ANY form, and use wacky humor to expose everyone and make them less stuffy. If any of this film premise seems like high drama to you, write the academy LOL. I won't give away the ending, but the silly, slapstick humor that you see throughout the movie and the odd human characters that have to tolerate it are all good for a long, steady hour and a half of amusement to the viewer. It's not a perfect film, but for what the makers of the film were trying to do with their limited budget, I think they hit the mark. Who wants perfect acting and fantastic effects in a farcical comedy? All I wanted to do was laugh, and I did. "nuff said!
