what is the best non porn incest movie?

I certainly wouldn't call it the best or even good, but it does have an attractive cast.

The title of this thread is my favorite at Movie Forums.

J, I just can't even be adult about it so I've not participated in the thread at all.

In fact.... nope, never mind I'm bowing out out again.

I've read through all of these and still can't think of ANY that i've seen. Thought one or two would spir my memory.

Back in 1963, when incest was only hinted at, not openly expressed on the screen, Dean Martin played a ne’er-do-well son who returns from Illinois with a new wife to New Orleans to meet his two spinster sisters, Wendy Hiller as Anna Berniers and Geraldine Page as Carrie Berniers. Carrie, who has always had an incestuous love for her baby brother to the point where Anna used to sit up nights to prevent her from molesting him, does her best to break up his marriage with disastrous results for all. Written for the stage by Lillian Hellman, it’s one of the best films on that subject and has a stellar cast directed by George Roy Hill with a great score by George Duning.

The best incestuous character ever, however, is the mother from hell in the 1962 original film, The Manchurian Candidate, with Angela Lansbury as the manipulative mother and communist agent who uses her own son as both an assassin and a love toy while he’s in hypnotic trances.

Lansbury was only 3 years older than Laurence Harvey when she played his mother in that movie. She was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress, and in 2007 Newsweek selected her character as one of the 10 greatest villains in cinema history.

Here's a B-flick that's all about incest. There is a steamy sex scene, but it's got an R rating, so it's not exactly porn. The film used to be my nickname to a group of people I know, but they now gave it away to someone else who looked like a character from the movie, instead of being an "incestuous" being like myself (long story, inside joke, bottom line is that I'm not a product of cousinly love):

How in the world does a movie that looks like that deal with incest??

It looks like Troll 3.

The creatures in it are all products of generations of incest, and the main character comes to where they live to find a cure for a blood disease he has.

I have actually seen this movie. It's awful.

BLASPHEMY!!!

So, incest is a cure for blood diseases???

No, the cure for it is...

What an interesting topic.

I recently saw Sister My Sister ... it is a UK film from 1994, An adaptation of a real life murder case which happened in France in the early 1900's. Originally called the "Papin Affair" because that is the real family name of the two sisters who murdered their employers. This case has been the basis of many psycho-analytists who were fascinated about the relationship between the two women. This film is one of the more common intepretations that exists on the nature of the relationship between the two sisters. In 2000 this murder has been made into another film, this one from France titled Murderous Maids

Bad Boy Bubby ... a great Aussie indi film which was shot in Adelaide. If you can, give it a watch.

I don't think that anyone has mentioned this classic, The Silence which was directed by Ingmar Bergman in 1963.

I liked The Killer Bees made for TV film from the 70's, I mean Kate Jackson has never been sweeter.


Oh...um wait...non-porn incest....ha, thought it was non-porn insect movies...sry.

The other Boleyn Girl "almost" had an incest scene in it. It was quite disturbing...
