10. GWENDOLINE (1984)
IMDB Score: 5.2
Sure, this eighties sexploitation fetish movie might be campy as heck. But man, are the two main characters hot!
It’s a classic adventure movie where a girl tries to find her dad. But the real gem is seeing the male and female protagonist dressed up in what seem to be kinky gladiator costumes. Relish the scene where the male protagonist is captured by an all-women tribe of thirsty babes. Can you imagine?
9. THE STORY OF O (1975)
IMDB Score: 5.4
If there ever was a homage to female submission, this would be it. The story of O tells the sexy and kinky tale of a gorgeous Parisian woman named O. She is a female sub and she is taught to be ready for oral, vaginal and anal sex whenever her master pleases.
O needs to offer herself to any man who belongs to the so-called Secret Society. If you’re not shocked by blindfolding, chaining, whipping, widening anuses with plugs, piercing labia, and the burning of skin, definitely give this dark fantasy film a go!
8. VENUS IN FURS (1969)
IMDB Score: 5.8
Imagine lying on a beach in Istanbul, just chilling, when all of a sudden the dead body of a young woman washes up on the shore. This is the opening of the bizarre and erotic sixties film ‘Venus in Furs’.
From that point on, you’ll meet an array of strange characters and witness bizarre sexual events. In this film, you never quite know what’s reality and what’s fantasy, which makes it a bewildering and hallucinatory movie experience. Somehow our dead girl from the opening scene is still alive. But who cares about logic?
7. PREACHING TO THE PERVERTED (1997)
IMDB Score: 6.0
In this hot, nineties fetish film, you follow the story of a naïve, nerdy virgin who falls head over heels for a captivating and stunning dominatrix.
While he’s actually on a secret government mission that’s supposed to shut the BDSM club down. He wants to save her. She just wants to pervert him. Who will win?
Get ready for whips, getting called ‘slave’, and crotch fireworks in this over-the-top fetish film.
6. FETISHES (1996)
IMDB Score: 6.2
Ever wondered what it’s like to be a professional dominatrix or what the fetish world really looks like? ‘Fetishes’ is a documentary that takes you along for an undercover journey through the private dungeons and corridors of Pandora’s Box: New York’s most famous fetish palace. Take a peek into the kinky fetishes of seemingly boring and ordinary people, that will pay good money to get spanked, humiliated, and much more.
5. THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE (2005)
IMDB Score: 6.6
This fetish film tells the story of Bettie Page, the most famous pin-up model from the fifties. Bettie shocked conservative America back in the day, especially when a series of SM pictures came out where she was posing as a dominatrix. The aversion against Bettie Page even led to an investigation from the Senate that multiple politicians used for their own political agenda. This 2005 biopic on Page’s life brings you all of her highs and lows.
4. MAITRESSE (1976)
IMDB Score: 6.6
Back in the seventies, this French fetish film caused quite a stir in the UK and the US due to its graphic and explicit depiction of sado-masochism.
It starts off as your classic porn video: a hot blonde needs her plumbing fixed and a buff guy comes to the rescue. However, after that, the story takes a kinky turn and tells a tale of obsession, lust, dominance, and control. You should watch this film solely for the main actress, Bulle Ogier. That’s one fine piece of French toast if you ask me!
3. MANO DESTRA (1986)
IMDB Score: 6.9
This poetic piece on BDSM from the eighties is more like a music video than an actual narrative film. However, the compelling music will take you along for a kinky ride. The subtle erotic scenes will make you yearn for more. You get to see tantalizing woman-on-woman action where one of them dominates the other into submission using bondage.
2. SECRETARY (2002)
IMDB Score: 7.0
Ever fantasized about getting it on secretary-and-the-boss-style? Than this fetish film is right up your ally!
James Spader portrays a hilarious, yet surprisingly, sexy original mister Grey. No, we’re not kidding. His character’s name is actually Mr. Edward Grey.
Get ready for some smoking hot power dynamic spanking and punishment. Yes, mister Grey!
1. DRESSING FOR PLEASURE (1977)
IMDB Score: 7.9
This British fetish documentary about ordinary people who love to dress up in latex was a big hit in the seventies. Ever since it was banned by London Weekend Television, it’s become an obscure piece more often quoted than actually seen. Be prepared for some seventies-style naked boobies suited up in black latex. A must-see if you have a fetish for dressing up in latex yourself.
