who knows similar films ...

[zebrafink]

Hello,
many of you may know
the films

"Caligula",

Katharina und ihre wilden Hengste (alternate titles " * Catherine the Great
* Catherine the Naked Czarina
* Katarina the Great
* Katarina, the Naked Czarina)
and

Josefine Mutzenbacher.

I am searching comparable films.
Can anybody give me titles?

Thanks in advance,
Zebafink

I think you may be asking about "period" or "costume" movies. If that is the case, I believe there have been several threads and topics on this very same subject discussed in this forum.
Enter those words is search engine and see what pops up.

thank you very much, Len!

Especially the search for "period" had some interesting results! At least I hope so; my husband will have to check the titles and judge by himself.
Kind regards
Zebrafinch

... and a thought occurs.
Given porn's widespread plundering of the more 'colourful' characters from
history, why has there never been a pastiche on those [alleged] sexual athletes
Henry VIII, Pope Benedict IX or Catherine the Great?

Charlie Sheens got some free time on his hands

Could be as big as bobbitt

Another private history lesson along the lines of tatiana,pyramind etc

I don't know what you mean by "pastiche" but Catherine has already been the subject of hc movies:

In the case of priests, bishops and cardinals, many have been featured in hc movies (as well as softcore) produced over the years in Germany and Italy.
Now Henry VIII is an interesting idea. Perhaps a casting call to R. Jeremy or R. Malone may produce some results.

You obviously haven't been watching BBC2 on Saturday nights recently. Neither have I BTW, but I have heard that historical accuracy has been sacrificed and 'rumpy-pumpy' emphasized, even to the extent of making Anne of Cleves sexy, when Henry was loathe to touch her with a bargepole. True it's odd that d'Amato and Damiano ignored him when they seem to have covered (very unerotically for the most part) nearly everything else in history. Given d'Amato's difficulty with actresses' names, though, the six wives probably confused him.

Another suggestion for period porn so far ignored by porn makers might be Happy Valley, that is colonial Kenya. Not to mention the forest-destroying numbers of illicit erotic novels from Britain in the Victorian age.

I saw a brief trail ages ago and promptly expunged it from my awareness. There's
enough terrible fiction on telly without fictionalizing history by adding a few
tits n' bums and a scriptwriter's hallucinatory take on Merrie Olde England.
That's what Hollywood is for [and I was one of those who wanted us to go to war-
or at least sue them- over that Enigma film].
OK, he was testosterone on legs as a youth but for most of his marital history
he was a bloated, syphilitic, egomaniacal, filthy-tempered, gouty, pus-filled
vicious hypocritical brute.
And those were his GOOD points.

According to a recent QI episode, it's now down to four legal ones. Or three; or
five, depending on your POV : -)

Where would they find a Greta Scacchi lookalike, through?

No. let's not mention those.
Especially those that use cutesy-poo euphemisms like 'motte' and 'pego'.

If you're a Catholic, it presumably depends on when Catherine of Aragon died.

I was thinking of her too, but wasn't Heat and Dust set in India? Did she also do a Kenya film?

Laura Singer would have been good. but the main problem would be finding pornstars without tattoos. Even she sported one, though admittedly small.

I was thinking of Eveline which, if I recall correctly, is relatively free of those.

'White Mischief', the daddy of 'em all.

Too stocky, IMO. And they'd have had to dub her : -))
Maybe the young Rox Hall, with a blond rinse-but she'd have to be dubbed too.
Not too many pale, willowy pornstars around with the required diction.

I'm not exactly au fait with the genre : -)
