While we all love us some Gos, we really love movies about porn stars too. And there are so many of them available to watch right now. Now, these are not actual porn movies. If you search hard enough on the internet, you might be able to find one or two of those. These are movies where one or more of the characters finds themselves in the adult film industry. Hey, it happens! And we can’t stop watching it.
We’ve collected some of the best movies, from campy to comedy, about the heroes who aren’t afraid to get down on camera. Sure, you expect a lot of boobs and butts in your porn movies, but what you might not expect is how much heart a lot of these films bring to the screen. Wait, now that we’re thinking about it, why hasn’t Ryan Gosling played a porn star yet? Damn. Let’s make that happen soon. But until then, check out these other great movies about porn stars.
The Girl Next Door
So the girl in The Girl Next Door? Not so much of the innocent friend you grow up with. It’s a porn star. Elisha Cuthbert gives a really sweet and vulnerable performance and looks amazing in the process. This witty film also stars Emile Hirsch, Paul Dano and Timothy Olyphant and is a fun, twisted, and of course sexy, adventure.
Boogie Nights
Man, the porn industry is where it was at in the 1970s! Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 film follows a man (Mark Wahlberg) and his experience with the industry during that time. Heather Graham and Julianne Moore also help bring the sexy to this fan-favorite film.
Lovelace
James Franco plays Hugh Hefner in this movie. Do you need any more information than that? Amanda Seyfriend stars as Linda Lovelace in the story about the famous adult actress’ career, personal life, and how the lines between the two are constantly blurred.
Humpday
This movie is about two best friends who do everything together that are tasked with doing, well, the one thing they haven’t done together as part of an art film project. It stars Mark Duplets and Joshua Leonard, and was written and directed by Lynn Shelton, so you know that even if you see people’s outside parts, you’ll also get to feel their inside parts as well. Naughty and nice!
Orgazmo
South Park bro Trey Parker wrote, directed and stars in this silly movie about an innocent Mormon guy who ends up starring in a porn movie about a sex superhero in order to pay for his wedding. Except it’s a movie about a sexy superhero, so of course it becomes super popular — whoops!
Finding Bliss
Wow, who would’ve thought Leelee Sobieski would ever be in a porn movie? Ok, so that’s not quite the case. Finding Bliss is about an idealistic lady who moves to Hollywood and realizes just how hard it is to get your passion project to come to life. So she takes a job at a porn production company and tries to use their facilities to make her dream happen. It features a great supporting cast in Jamie Kennedy and Mircea Monroe and just might be one of the sweeter films about porn you’ll ever see.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Writer/director Kevin Smith is no dummy — he knew Rogen and Banks together would be an unbeatable pair. They play a duo who have been strictly platonic friends for years, but when they come up with the brilliant idea to make a porn in order to combat some financial issues, they soon realize there’s no room for feelings in porn!
