99 Women

Cliche example of the “Women In Prison” genre, so bad it’s fun now. While it pushed the boundaries back in 1969, this schlocky film includes the requisite sadistic dykey warden, lesbian prison sex, and women-in-chains escape scene. Sexploitation cinema at its best. Makes a good dyke movie night drinking game – spot a straightboy fantasy [...]

First a Girl

Long before Victor/Victoria, there was First A Girl. In this wonderful 1935 gem, Elizabeth hits the vaudeville big time by being a drag king pretending to be a drag queen. We couldn’t help ourselves, we laughed the whole way through this lovely, silly movie. Great Buddy Night choice.

Just the Two of Us

Bored housewives Denise and Adria have an on-again-off-again affair in this 1975 dykesploitation melodrama. Dated but entertaining.

Kitten In A Cage / Girl From Pussycat

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! No, it’s not that cult favorite, but you’ll be wishing it was when these two hokey ’script? we don’t need no stinkin’ script!’ excuses for stringing together a bunch of pseudo-lesbian scenes overheat your VCR. Another fun stinkeroo from the great golden era of 1969 dykesploitation flicks, “Kitten In A Cage [...]

Les Vampires

Crafty, ruthless and charismatic Irma Vep is not a vampire in the classical sense, but she and her gang of jewel thieves are very much psychological bloodsuckers as they con, seduce and steal their way across the upper-crust landscape of Paris after WW1. An absorbing silent-era classic in serial form. A must for any serious [...]

Sugar Cookies

When Camilla’s girlfriend turns up dead, she vows revenge on those responsible. A dark, Warhol-esque 1973 erotic thriller, “Sugar Cookies” delves into the decadent world of the ‘beautiful people’ who use and abuse others.

That Tender Touch

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! This melodramatic 1969 dyksploitation flick revolves around Terri and Marcia, who were doing fine together until Terri decides rabid social homophobia is right after all, and she needs to marry Ken to be ‘normal’. But when Marcia couch-surfs at Terri and Ken’s digs, every girl in the neighborhood, including Terri, is Hot [...]

The Alley Cats

A young woman finds herself unexpectedly drawn to a beautiful socialite in this 1965 blast from the past sexploitation film.

The Children’s Hour

This Lillian Helman classic deserved its Oscar nominations. Karen (Audrey Hepburn) and Martha (Shirley MacLaine) are the headmistresses at a snooty girls’ school. When a spoiled little brat gets rightfully disciplined, she tells a malicious lie that devastates both teacher’s lives and embroils the town in scurrilous gossip.

The Killing of Sister George

Lovable frump Sister George is a huge TV soap star. But when the studio kills her off, butchy, pushy and loudly abusive actor June Buckeridge (Beryl Reid), who plays Sister George, goes spinning down the drain of miserable, raging alcoholic self-pity. Superbly acted, this film offers a cartoony but engrossing slice of 60’s lesbian life.

Therese and Isabelle

The 1969 erotic classic about two french boarding school girlfriends still wears well, and speaks to the innocent awakening sexuality of all young lesbians.

Vampyros Lesbos

Quality cheese! This is what REAL hokey 70’s dykesploitation films are all about, kids. In Vampyros Lesbos you have hot stripper dykes, pretty ingénues trapped in mental wards, psychedelic nude frolicking, lots of bloody screams and plenty of screamy blood, and a super-hottie vampire countess running around in a bikini and putting the moves on [...]
