Sleaziest films of all time?
What are your sleaziest films of all time? And what makes them sleazy (taboo subject matter, explicit sexuality, nudity, violence, porno, etc.)?
In addition to Hardcore, here's my Top 10 list, in no particular order:
Taxi Driver - underage hooker, incredible violence
The Exterminator - forced sexual servitude on 42nd Street
Joe (w/ Peter Boyle) - drugged up sex, revenge killing
American Gigolo - prostitution, but maybe too visually slick to be sleazy
Auto Focus - downward spiral into pornography
In the Realm of the Senses a.k.a. Ai No Corrida - actual sex scenes
Irreversible - Monica Bellucci's disturbing scene
Straw Dogs - sexual assault, cuckoldry
Cruising - strange look at gay S&M scene
Night of the Juggler - NYC cop looks for psycho holding his pre-teen daughter
By the way, NOTJ has a brief scene where James Brolin (the cop) gets directions from Sharon Mitchell outside of a 42nd Street peep show. Serena also has a role.
Whatever you wish for me, I hope you have twice as much.
