Angel of Darkness 1 is the only "tendril sex" anime I have found titillating to date. It also has some very amusing dialog and a great dykey heroine. Unfortunately, later entrants into the series repeat the formulaic sex but lack the character or the humor.
* Crash probably captures the feel of the fetish community more than any other film I have seen, despite the irking aspect of nonconsensual involvement of outsiders in many scenes. Notable for having a male-male sex scene (although you don't see anything) and for also featuring handicapped people who actually have libidos. The sex itself, outside of the car crash fetishism, is mostly vanilla aside from its poly contexts.
* W.C. Field's The Dentist is worth mentioning for anyone who enjoys medical scenes, or even anyone who isn't squicked by them. One immensily hot scene with Fields working (very intensily) on a woman in a long, thin dress who writhes engagingly under his ministrations. Usually found as part of a pack with other W.C. Fields short films "The Gold Specialist" and "The Fatal Glass of Beer".
* Exit to Eden is actually quite funny, and non-judgemental about scene people. On the other hand its insight into bdsm mentality is nonexistent, and it is great fun to point and laugh at the incompetance of the so-called scary domme in disciplining the uppity sub. Has one hot bondage/spanking scene.
* Love & Human Remains - intellectual thriller with literary dialog about a group of people seeking love and connectedness in their lives while in the background a series of murders goes unsolved. Includes an adorably cute pro-domme with an engagingly silly approach to dominance, and a young femmy boy with long hair who is touching when humilated.
* Paris, France is one of my favorite films. Very literary dialog and subtle humor. There are no extended erotic bdsm scenes but the film moves along at a slow simmer, and there is a heavy undertone of kinkiness in a lot of the interactions between the protagonist and her lover.
* Secretary is a rather goofy comedy which came along and took a lot of people by storm, mainly because it's the only one of these films that captures any sense of D/s dynamic. It's flawed but has enough merit to be worth watching.
* The Story of O is the most famous adaption of the most famous bdsm book; worth seeing just for that. The acting is poor although better than the average porn flick; the torture scenes are much milder than the book. On the other hand, a lot of people including me prefer the ending of the film to that of the book.
* Videodrome, by David Cronenberg, who also adapted Crash, is a bizarre, hallucinatory film with many sci-fi elements. It flirts around the edges of perversion and features Deborah Harry, who partakes of a hot play-piercing scene (earlobe).
* Waxwork is a fairly trashy horror film, with one inspired masochistic flogging scene. Generally amusing.
