Best Movies on Prostitution?

-Never on Sunday
-Klute

I'll think of more.. Seems like they have all been good, and it's an interesting subject.

Pretty Woman

Nah, just kidding. I'd agree with Klute.

Point for Klute!

Mona Lisa (1986) is really good.

Like Someone In Love. Kiarostami's last film, watched it the other day. It was great.

Also Vivre Sa Vie. The only Godard i've loved so far.

Belle De Jour
When A Woman Ascends The Stairs
Gion Bayashi
Irezumi

all and above movies for me though you may not like any of them

Just saw a Nick Broomfield documentary yesterday : Tales of the Grim Sleeper. It's supposed to be about a serial killer, but I found it was more about his victims and the community of oucasts prostitutes and have-nots that the media is usually silent about.

Although it's less about prostitution than prostitutes, I think it offers an accurate portray of them, and so you might like it.

Broomfields two Aileen Wuornos docs as well.

Yup that's true. It seems old Nick has a knack with them prostitutes.

Personal Services (1987) loosely based on the life of Cynthia Payne, who kept a brothel in Streatham, is very good.

The Girlfriend Experience. I heard it's quite good, and there's Sasha Grey in it.

Elmer Gantry
Nights of Cabiria
Waterloo Bridge
Nazarin
Anna Christie
Diary of a Lost Girl
Hungry for Love
Safe in Hell
The Goddess (1934)

i will list some bollywood movies on prostitution

here chameli is name of prostitute . story of a man who meets her outside an ATM on a rainy windswept night . chameli is also a flower . in india prostitutes are commonly named after flowers .

tawaif means high class prostitute . the story tells of the longing such a woman has for normal life with husband children etc .

'pati patni aur tawaif' means husband wife and prostitute . the story shows the havoc that husband's obsession with a beautiful prostitute creates on his family and children as he neglects them .

pak means pure and pakeezah tells the story of a prostitute whose heart is pure inspite of her profession . the movie throws light on the hypocrisy of society , which condones men who visit prostitutes but paints those ladies as sluts .

Good piece of documentary movies.

Bridget Jones: the edge of reason. Thai prison.
Just kidding I couldnt resist

young boy falls in love with older prostitute and they elope to get married . but will society and it's taunts allow the two to lead a normal married life ?

Tokyo Decadence, which is about a Japanese submissive who visits a variety of horny Japanese business men. It feels like a David Lynch type story as it's very dreamlike.



Street Smart with Christopher Reeve, Kathy Baker, and Morgan Freeman is also a great movie. Freeman got an Oscar nomination for playing the very realistic and terrifying pimp

Mamma Roma (1962), is one of Passolini's better films about an aging prostitute and her troubled son.

Mysterious Skin, LIE, and Flawless are all decent gay prostitute films, all of which came out fairly recently.

But they best pure movie has to be Vivre Sa Vie, My Life to Live from Goddard.
