Caligula (1979) - Tinto Brass/Bob Guccione
The orgiastic fiasco which ambitiously attempted to unite mainstream Hollywood, arthouse sleaze and outright pornography, and instead fell into an outrageously enjoyable pit of filth and depravity.
Written by Gore Vidal (again) and directed by classy Euro eroticist Tinto Brass, Caligula featured a cast of proper actors including Malcom MacDowell and Helen Mirren.
After a chaotic shoot, producer and Penthouse founder Bob Guccione took control of the film and peppered it with hardcore sex scenes.
Thanks to various editing squabbles and international censorship laws, it exists in tons of different versions. All of them are filthy.
