X-rated movies were forbidden here too, until recently. :lol:

Last Days Of Disco, haven't seen it, but I have the sdtrk...seems like a poorly cheap made TV movie.

Soundtrack licencing is unfortunately expensive. Espesh, now that many people know that certain genres of music are popular, and there is an actual industry being maintained by it through music supervisors and lawyers. Also, it can be cheaper to licence a song, if a version which is not sung by the original artist is used. How this makes sense, I dunno. But it can help reduce a film budget somewhat.

I saw my first PORNO in the fall of '69 (appropriate number :D ) in Boston's old Combat Zone!

Have you all been protected from a lot of bumpin' and grindin'. :D

All you folks in the UK missed the long and very hotly distinguished career of Kay Parker a hugely hootered English immigrant who made great porn in the late '70s through mid '80s. :D

CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC :lol:

The definitive movie about Disco is and it will always be SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER

Right On!

[ComputerDisco]

Roller Boogie has to be the worst, IMO. It might have been better if Linda Blair's head had been able to swivel around 360 degrees like in The Exorcist. It was so bad that I had to turn it off the one time it was on TV (at 3am).

Xanadu is really awful too, it's the kind of movie you couldn't even understand if you were on heavy psychadelic drugs. And Gene Kelly? WTF?

These two, IMO, tie for last place in a string of movies that, in film overall, are all down in the gutter except for Saturday Night Fever. But SNF is about more than Disco, it's a pretty serious film when you really look at it. That is, perhaps, what raises it above the rabble.

Leave it to someone to mention porn, and it is guaranteed Discoman will have something to add... :lol:

By the way 12incher, you're a 12incher in P'town! The boys must love you there :lol:

I was one of those individuals who experienced and enjoyed EVERYTHING the '70s had to offer including porn AND including porn in P'town! :o I was the porn afficionado in my crew. 8) And I saw all the classics. "70s porn, R. Crumb and Disco all go hand in hand. They are only varying sides of the same coin.

Another example: I saw John Waters "Pink Flamingos" in the P'town theater (forget it's name now) with a sweet young hottie; we were both stoned on our asses AND, AND, AND... we were the only straight couple in the movie house and we had a ball. :D :D :D

I don't have an addictive personality, know my limits and as
JudyDoggie says was able to experience just about everything and navigate my way through the decadence that was the "Decade of Excess." I did stay away from the hard drugs but I smoked enough pot and hashhish to make up for what I missed in LSD and coke.

You got that right paul...I was reading your previous post under the 54 topic discussing Selma Hayek with Videoskooter, and all I could think of was that Ryan Philippe. What I would give for one night with that! :)

I hear ya. Just one night with Salma and she's mine 8)
That's why hanging with the gay aint bad sometimes. I wont have to fight you off like if I were hanging with efunk for example :lol:

Here I am like a wet blanket, ever the voice of reason (although even this 'experienced' but decidedly straight man's ears perk up a wee bit at the mention of Ryan Phillippe)--

No where at all in this thread has there been mention of the charming disco-based bagatelle "Car Wash." Or are we all pretending that we're too young to remember THAT opus?!

(By the way; there's another thread herein called something like "has this site lost it's spark?" -- perhaps it's the negative tone. Couldn't have this thread been named "Disco-Themed Movies: Best and Worst of Show"?)

[DiscoMan]

I have "Car Wash" on DVD and watch it often. That movie is priceless, especially for Richard Prior's brilliant performance!
