LiL Movies
by miran_kor | created - 05 Sep 2014 | updated - 3 days ago | PublicUnder construction and always in progress!!!
(This is just for my personal use/future reference. A trip down memory lane...)
ALL the LiL (Ladies in Love/Lust) films I've ever seen. The Good, the Bad...and the Average.
Caution (for possible readers)! This will take me ages to compile. My memory is faulty (and gettting worse by the day).
In rough chronological order.
With my humble rates.
Also, films NOT listed at IMDb (as of yet):
Watching You (Stephanie Abramovich, 2000, sh) - 7/10 (FF)
A Lesbian Tale (M.K. Diab, ?, sh) - 8/10 (R)
L.U.G.S. (Sarah Rotella, 2010, sh) - 6/10 (FF)
Impact (Samantha Stewart/Kayla Kahn, ?, sh) - 7/10 (FF)
The Hidden People (Chantel Beam, 2013, sh) - 8/10 (R)
Lehky jako facka (Easy as Pie, Apolena Gabrielova, 2013, sh) - 6/10 (FF)
We Will (Laura Nagy, 2016, sh) - 8/10 (R)
Also, films listed at IMDb but the new (improved, LOL) search function can't find them for this list (as of yet):
Word of Mouth (Tom Lazarus, 1999) - 5/10 (FF) (minor subplot)
History Lessons (Barbara Hammer, 2000, doc) - 8/10 (R)
Un amour de femme (Sylvie Verheyde, TV, 2001) - 7.5/10 (R)
Notes:
- Features, documentaries, shorts, TV movies and TV mini-series (up to 5 parts) eligible. 'Regular' (longer) TV series are NOT.
- My rates are (as always) based on the overall Cinematic quality (as I perceive it) and not on the content itself. Fans of particular films (and especially this very topic) should always keep this in mind.
Cinema = cinema (big screen) viewing TV = TV viewing PC = download OL = online viewing VHS = VHS viewing DVD = DVD viewing
R = Recommended (8-10/10) FF = For Fanatics Only (5-7/10) P = Pass (1-4/10)
