Swedish Wildcats, Italian Lesbionic Nuns, Frisky Inmates in South American Prisons, Euro Lesbo Vampires and a vast assortment of Sapphic Sleaze. This is Sexploitation. Exploitation. Gridhouse. To be Polite or Academic we call it Erotic Cinema. Whatever your term of choice, this genre's glory days blasted through the 60's and 70's. None of these films were strictly lesbian, or even for lesbians but this historic montage will change that. Here are Erotic Cinema's heroines of the 60's and 70's, fighting, tempting, teasing and fucking each other. These ladies are depraved, filthy-dirty and insatiable. You will be too.

Joan Crawford's Home Movies

1942

Joan Crawford's Home Movies

1942
The private Joan Crawford fought as hard to create a normal family life as she did to establish her career. She forged her own path and to that end became a single parent, eventually adopting and raising four children. Like many parents, she picked up a 16mm camera and began filming both the special and the ordinary events of her family’s life. These home movies (ca. 1940–42) present that which one rarely gets to see: a larger-than-life personality at home, unadorned, just being herself—and often in color, at a time when her feature films were black and white. Crawford filmed most of the home movies herself; when she is on camera, it is unclear who is behind it.
