* MoodWhiplash: Starts off as something of a light-hearted, raunchy romp about the making of a porn star in the early 1970s. It turns much darker as we go back and see what "really" happened, according to Lovelace's last autobiography.

''Lovelace'' is a 2013 {{biopic}} about "Linda Lovelace" (real name Linda Boreman), the star of ''Deep Throat'' (1972). ''Deep Throat'' was the first "mainstream" pornographic film that featured characters, [[PornWithPlot a plot]], and passable production values. The movie became something of a sensation in the early 1970s, and is one of the highest grossing pornographic films of all time; it helped ushered in an era known as "Porno Chic," a brief time period in the 1970s and early 80s when porn films were taken seriously as legitimate cinema. The film stars Creator/AmandaSeyfried in the title role.
