Here's 3 examples of movies of Cultural Import * that are copyrighted and technically, probably shouldn't be there. But they're unavailable, or hard to find; possibly outlawed in some places.
I'm quite grateful to someone for taking the trouble to find, digitize, and upload these classics, and that archive.org can host them.
+ I'll leave it to you to figure out what the "cultural import" is in each case here. As with all Art, it's certainly debatable.

Sex in movies and TV is so banal and boring and pointless. No one has wanted to watch that since they first got to explore it in the 70s, because they tapped out the possibilities then.
Go watch "Barbarella" and "Flesh Gordon" and tell me there's a less cringe, more worthy depiction of sex in a video form made since then.
It always been morality play crap. the fevered imaginings of what personal intimacy should be, sourced from celibates, perverts, and anybody besides normal people with normal doubts.
It's been ages since I watched it too.
I don't remember if they tried to explain any of the "science" - rather doubt it. Maybe blood is clear between the red blood cells? Guess they had good lights on the sub too.
Flesh Gordon (campy porn version of Flash Gordon) is another recommended movie with similarly awful special effects !

Sadly, I remember far too many old quotes from very bad movies.
From the 1974 movie, Flesh Gordon.
