One of the last releases during 'The Golden Age Of Porn' (1968-1980) and one of the most well-known adult movies ever made, the funny thing about Debbie Does Dallas is that not only does Debbie not 'do' anyone in Dallas, the movie never even sets foot inside the city! It was also one of lynchpins in why VHS beat out Betamax as the industry standard for general audience consumption (see Boogie Nights for more information). The series now has over 40 entries (ZING!) in the franchise. It wasn't long after the legalities of porn had changed in the US, so this movie went all out, pushing the boundaries of what could be shown on the big screen.

Initially not even intended to be a pornographic movie, French director (again, those randy French!) Just Jaeckin embraced the X-rating that his movie received, opposed to avoiding it like most other movies would try to do. Anyone who was anyone back in the day had to go see it, and it has made over $600 million to date. One of the first movies to present something resembling a plot (well, we say plot…), character development and relatively high production values, Deep Throat changed the face of the adult film industry, thanks to its 'porn chic' hipness and, with Linda Lovelace, a likeable lead actress. Proving just how ahead of the curve they tend to be (more on that later), The Surprise Of The Knight was the first adult movie to feature exclusively homosexual intercourse, predating the legality of porn ownership by forty years, and 'anti-sodomy' laws by over 70 years.

It didn't take long for the adults behind the adult movie making business to make their movies a bit more, well, adult! This movie was produced by a group of randy French guys, telling the story of a weary soldier who spends the night (or at least the movie's running time) with a female servant in the inn (the translation of the title is 'The Good Inn', which makes sense). The world's first ever 'adult movie' is almost as old as the movie industry itself, and this very short movie of a woman getting dressed down to her underwear (ankles on show to everyone! Gasp!), stepping into a metal paddling pool and having some kind of dark ash-y powder poured over her was enough for folks to find arousing over a century ago. Here are ten adult movies that completely shaped the way pornography was produced by its makers and received by its audiences: Often overlooked as nothing but 'dirty movies', the adult movie industry has brought about some big changes in society and culture all by themselves. While the movie focuses more on the trials and tribulations of her life, the impact that Deep Throat itself had on both the pornography business as well as cinema is general is also a vitally important one. This Friday sees the release of Lovelace, a look at the life of Linda Lovelace, one of the most name-brand recognisable adult film stars to have ever lived.
