Are there any porn movies with a gripping, intelligent, reasonably well-acted story line? Something like an extended version of Bound (or Troy, or History of Violence) with more and explicit sex.
I have never managed to watch more than 5 minutes of "only porn", sex without feelings/background just doesn't do it for me. For me sex is the icing on the cake, and just icing without the cake makes me gag. But I wouldn't mind a nice, finger-thick layer of icing as long as the cake underneath it is good as well.
(Please note that I'm asking for recommendations in the porn genre - I had a look at (I think) all the supposedly hot "normal" movies (9 1/2 weeks, Basic Instict, Brokeback Mountain etc.) and either I've seen them and found them boring, or I was put off by the summary, or at the latest by the hilarious "Everything that's wrong with (insert film title) in (insert number) minutes or less" reviews on YouTube.)
I'm quite like you. We do not watch much porn, but this was one of our firsts together (suggested by my husband) and it still remains one of my favourites: "Adolescenza perversa" is the title and I think it is beautifully made with everything you could ask for. You can find it online in free streaming, though I'm not sure if English translation/subtitles are available...
Most films from the 80's have a decent plot and reasonable acting, compared to modern stuff anyway. A lot are available on tube sites. One of our favs is Private teacher
I remember porn films being passed around at work,one chap moaned that there wasn`t much plot,he was ridiculed with chaps saying it`s porn not War and Peace! Basically any porn is going to be...boy meets girl/girls/boys whatever and sex happens!

Boy meets girl is probably the most often used "basic plot" in film history - from Bringing up Baby over Titanic to Music and Lyrics, to name only some I've seen and liked (I normally prefer movies that start with an explosion and then get more interesting). Throwing in a few explicit sex scenes shouldn't spoil the movie ;)
The top 10 budgets list looks promising, now I'd just have to find the films. Unfortunately my internet connection is not up to streaming (even LH videos don't always run smoothly). Is there a second-hand market for porn DVDs? Most of my movie DVDs come from Amazon marketplace (but if I understand UK law correctly Amazon.co.uk - or any other UK seller - is not allowed to sell hardcore porn?)
How can I follow this post? This is something I'm interested in, too!
There is no 'follow' function, nor any kind of notification here on the forums, so you just need to check back in when you can. It helps to know though that on the main Forum page threads are displayed in chronological order, so any thread that gets the most recent reply pops on top of the list. You can also have easy access to a thread you are interested in by posting on it (as you just had) and then going to find it on your own profile page.
I've discovered in the meantime that U.S. sellers quite often have an extra category of "porn with plot". Now my only problem are the prices - you'd get a very nice toy for the price of some of those DVDs, and I have a feeling I'd get more use out of the toy...
Btw, is anybody here from France who has bought porn DVDs by mail order from the U.S.? Any problem with customs?
No progress on the porn front, but I did find a classic erotic movie - Emanuelle - at the library. Unfortunately it has lots of beautiful female nudity and a fabulous car, but a decided lack of gorgous males (or male nudity in general) and the horses are so-so... The scenery is fabulous, however (haven't watched the bonus material yet, but the film seems to have been made in Thaland).
Xconfessions is most probably what I am NOT looking for! Emanuelle wasn't either, btw, but hey, it's a classic and it was free and the photography is suberb. And the production info (another argument for well-made DVDs) was fascinating!
Pirates and Pirates 2 (Thumper, why did you recommend the second and not the first one?) might fit the bill, as could Flashpoint X or Manhunters (all from the above list of top-10 budgets). I'm just waiting for them to come my way at a reasonable price (i. e. less than a luxury sex toy).

The first one was not as high a quality of a film, although the story line is concurrent so it might be worth watching. Pirates 2 was at the time the highest budget porn film, most of which was spent on cgi if I am not mistaken. They are both cheesey and funny but with an actual plot and some good porn stars. I honestly watched it once while skipping the sex scenes just to see the story line and it was worth it

That's what I'm looking for! The only thing that worries me is that in my experience parodies of parodies don't work as well as those of movies that take themselves seriously (I much preferred Hot Shots over Loaded Weapon) - and from what I remember of Pirates of the Caribean, there was nothing serious about that movie either ;)

I get what youmean. Honestly if you liked pirates of the Caribbean but would have like more nudity and more impressive graphics then this is the right film for you. It is parody to the point that they make jokes about the general story line, and there is a good bit of fucking, but the storyline stands strong nonetheless
