I recently rented a uncut version of the 1979 Caligula movie. What a blast! I enjoyed it very very well.

what do you get when you mix history with penthouse? Caligula!

I think that if the overly redundant sexual scenes (I enjoyed them, but they are very very controversial) are cut, it has the mold of a very educational historical film. Granted, the costumes of the Romans were not as accurate as Gladiator, but we do get a sense of the distasteful debauchery exhibited by those ungodly pagans!


I would love to hear opinions from those who have had the pleasure/displeasure of seeing the film!

I in no way condone any of the things shown in the film; however, I have to commend the filmmakers for taking a bold step to places few others have gone before. This is bold, and beautiful from a certain artistic point of view. Nowadays, few mainstream films dare to go all the way. Pornography is boring trash, and mainstream films are tame and overly predictable in every aspect.

I would love the film industry to make more bold, sleazy films with a strong, interesting historical plot. I think movies about Ancient Egyptian priestesses, or Venetian brothels in the 17th century would be a plus!

I would love to hear any recommendations for good, sleazy, exciting, adventurous, historical movies that are available for rent on DVD.
