subject: Classic Adult Movies From The 1970s [print this page] The classic adult movies of the 1970s make up what is considered to be the Golden Age of pornographic films. Many of these classics are still considered to be some of the very best films ever made, to which all other more recent films are still compared. There seems to be a different air about the older movies; many people believe that movies of today are just not as good, not as sexy and not as sophisticated, in their own way. Although there are dozens, maybe even hundreds of such movies from the 70s, here are five that will forever hold the title of Best of the Best Adult Movies.
1. Behind the Green Door: This was the very first hardcore adult movie that was widely released in the United States during the 1970s. Marilyn Chambers stars in this one, and the movie tells the tale about her characters abduction to a sex theater where she is forced to perform all kinds of sexual acts with multiple partners in front of an audience full of masked patrons. The film had a budget to work with of only $60,000 but grossed an impressive $25 million.
2. Deep Throat: One of the most well known adult movies of all time, Deep Throat is about a sexually frustrated woman who enlists the help of her friend to give her advice on how to achieve an orgasm. After she attends a sex party and is still unsatisfied, her friend makes the suggestion that she see a doctor because it might be something medical related.
