My goal is to document as many movies that fit the criteria above as possible, no matter how obscure, lowbrow or seemingly insignificant. The Fosters had all the soapy appeal of a teen drama but with a very different type of family at its core.
The series focused on a lesbian couple and the teenage children they foster and adopt, which included a son who eventually comes out as gay himself. Remember that all suggestions will always be welcome, as this is an ongoing project that I will continue for the duration of my membership on Letterboxd, and as long as I keep watching movies. The Freeform drama series The Fosters is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Pleaaaase let me know if I've gotten something wrong. I haven't seen most of these, so I could be misinformed about some of the movies in this list. The point is to illustrate how many movies out there have rape or attempted rape in them.Ĭheck the notes for details. There's a world of difference between movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and, say, Gutterballs.
Note that just because a movie is on this list doesn't mean that it was bad, or that the topic of rape was handled inappropriately, so you'll probably see a lot of B movie bullshit beside otherwise fantastic films. Obviously, this isn't really a nuanced list, nor is a movie's inclusion meant to be a mark of shame. It doesn't matter whether it's been played for laughs or not. The rape doesn't have to be the focus of the movie. The sex of the victim or the perpetrator doesn't matter. In order to qualify for this list, the movie must depict or imply the act of sexual assault, attempted or successful, or have rape serve as a major point in the plot. Some of these movies' reputations precede themselves but others might be more of a surprise. I really hope people that see this list don't think it's a celebration of the subject matter, or an "ooh, look at how scandalous this is!" kind of bullshit clickbait rather, it's more of an experiment to see just how many movies there are featuring rape, and can maybe exist as a blanket trigger warning for people who are avid movie watchers but are cautious of rape scenes. I feel like the prevalence of sexual assault in media can easily be dismissed unless the scope of the problem is visualized, so that's what this list is for. Her only stipulation was: "No rape scenes." That got me thinking.

From foreign films to dark love stories to straight-up comedies, these movies are sure to fulfill your NC-17 fantasies - and maybe spark some new ones, too. The great Helen Mirren even called one film "an irresistible mix of art and genitals" - and if that's not a tantalizing description, we don't know what is. There are age differences, affairs, and drama taken straight from the pages of history. Some of the NC-17 movies included in this list feature fetishes, taboo kinks, BDSM, and unsimulated sex - aka actual sex, not the pretend version viewers usually see on screen. We're talking forbidden love, hot flashbacks to former lovers, will-they-won't-they relationships, and more. If you like your steamy scenes against the backdrop of a dramatic, interesting, or thrilling story, then these sexy movies are exactly what you need. To say these movies definitely turn up the heat would be an understatement. As for the difference between an NC-17 rating and a X rating? They pretty much started as the same thing - but because X ratings were coopted by the porn industry in the early 1970s, the term "NC-17" was adopted in 1990 to replace it. Those under 17 can get into R-rated films (think " 50 Shades of Grey") if they're accompanied by a parent or guardian. The biggest difference between it and a movie that receives an R rating is that no one under age 17 can watch NC-17 films in theaters.
Porn with a plot is absolutely a thing, and it's basically an NC-17 movie.
