Deep Throat

... that ending left me laughing endlessly, but as a movie, 'Deep Throat' is rather disappointing.

Apparently, this movie was needed in the America in the 70's, so it became something of a 'thing to see', just as we in the Netherlands had the incredible hit 'Blue Movie' (1971).

But when looked upon some 30 years later, one can see 'Deep Throat' is a rather weak attempt to put some sort of story (which involves a woman with her clitoris in her mouth, and the problems (and opportunities) that arise from that) into a porn flick. Rather silly if you'd ask me.

The buzz this movie gets (and it will heighten considering the recent documentary Inside Deep Throat, and a planned re-release of the movie), it certainly does not deserve from the quality of the film. Great songs though! 4/10.

I'm in a quandary.

I have list of movies that are must-see movies. There can only be 2 per year.

The "must-see" notion is a combination of best (whatever that means at the time), and most influential. Perhaps if there is a singular advance or adventure, it may qualify.

This surely is one of the most influential movies ever made. It spawned an industry that is larger than movies. That industry literally drove the market for recorded movies and then became the backbone of the web.

It also plays a role — a significant one — in changing attitudes about sex acts, and became a focus for the religious nuts and feminist movement. And there's a side note about the name being used in the greatest political scandal until recent times.

So, surely this has to be on any list of influential movies. But the funny thing is that there is no value in actually watching it. The interaction with it as a movie has no relationship to its importance as a movie.

Rather than recommend watching this, I'd recommend "Inside Deep Throat," except that does a less than stellar job itself.

An amazing thing this: an important film not worth watching.

Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

I thought I should see the most famous porn of all time and found it pretty much the funniest porn I'd ever seen -- the premise is farcical and fantastic, the music is all bubbles and goofy 70's stuff, and it's overall, pretty tame fare. I don't know if I recommend it for a sexy date movie, but if you want to watch something with naked people and humor, it's a good one to see

If this is a porn classic, then the genre is in trouble. Not only are the acting, direction, and script unfortunately dismal, but even the theme and editing are poor. Gerard Damiano's style seems to lack even the most basic sense of eroticism.

Lovelace's ability to swallow the male sex organ is impressive, but certainly not unheard of, and while she is okay to look at, the film's refusal to focus on any other female character is a little frustrating. For instance, I was rather impressed with Carol Connors' performance as the nurse, but I would have liked to see her character developed more.

In the film's credit, I have to say that the music is just strange and intrusive enough to be entertaining. Also, Lovelace has the only line that has ever made me laugh in a porno movie. After she finds out that has a strange mutation (one of the worse elements of the script), and the doctor is laughing at her, she says, "How would you like it if your balls were in your ears?" The follow-up line from Reems is cringe-inducingly bad, but that one simple and honest line managed to surprise a chuckle out of me.

The rest of the humor in the movie is sadly lacking, and combined with the poor lighting and lazy cinematography, the result is a little gross.

I just saw an uncut xxx version of this movie and it is one of the funniest films i have ever seen.

I love the line about "Do you mind if I smoke while you eat?" and the scene when Ms Lovelace finds out about her unique organs!.

A lot of reviews have said that this film is tame but they must have seen cut versions because the version I watched was real sex and very strong.

Brilliant movie

see it as soon as possible and if you can get the XXX uncut version!
