Belle de Jour (1967, Fr.)

Luis Bunuel's first color film contained a fantasy erotic dream sequence - one of the frequent imaginative daydreams (of gang-rape, masochism and eroticism) of bored, repressed upper-class Parisian newlywed housewife Sévérine Serizy (Catherine Deneuve) married to respectful society doctor Pierre Serizy (Jean Sorel), in an unconsummated and frigid relationship; in one scene, she was tied up while mud was thrown at her and she was called "Old whore", "Maggot" and "Pig"; she had turned to suburban prostitution during afternoons, taking the name 'Belle de Jour', where she experienced a variety of strange clients - some of whom enjoyed role-playing; in her major masochistic fantasy involving her husband, she was driven in a carriage into the woods where her husband Pierre instructed the coachman to tie her to a nearby tree where her dress was torn and her bare back was whipped (pleasurably), before he also told the coachman "She's yours now...Go ahead" before a presumed scene of rape between them -- the scene cut back to Severine's bedroom where she sat in bed with her husband and refused to pay attention to him

Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

This film about an infamous criminal couple romanticized violence and proclaimed: "They're young...they're in love...and they kill people." When they first met, the real 'white-trash' bank-robbing couple Bonnie (19 years old) and Clyde (21 years old) weren't glamorous characters (as the film portrayed), and their romantic involvement was questionable; however, this film illustrated the sexy interplay between the two - with Bonnie Parker's (Faye Dunaway) teasing and naked appearance at her bedroom window as Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) eyed her Mama's car out front (and her quick dressing and descent down stairs to join him), and Clyde Barrow's showing off of his gun and bouncing a wooden matchstick between his teeth (shot at an upward angle as a trembling phallic symbol), although he was later revealed to be impotent

Cool Hand Luke (1967)

The Fox (1967, Can.)

The Graduate (1967)

Mike Nichol's award-winning, milestone film of the 1960s was a bold social satire film combining adultery, nudity, and anti-establishment subject matter; it featured an average-looking newcomer named Dustin Hoffman in the lead role as young graduate Ben Braddock who would experience an illicit and sexy seduction (and awakening) by an older, provocative and predatory married woman named Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) - the frustrated wife of his father's law partner; she quizzically asked him: "You want me to seduce you, is that what you're trying to tell me, Benjamin?" (with his befuddled reply-question: "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me? Aren't you?"); she assaulted him in her own home by exposing her breasts to him (seen in split-second, jump-cut flashes but first reflected in the picture of her daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross)) in her bedroom, and by blocking his exit; at the same time that he entered into an affair with her, Benjamin dated the more appropriately-aged Elaine - but on a first date took her to a strip joint to humiliate her; in the climactic scene, Benjamin interrupted her marriage at a church and took her away on a city bus to an uncertain future

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)

A Guide for the Married Man (1967)

Based upon Frank Tarloff's book of the same name, this dated, misogynistic sex comedy (directed by Gene Kelly!) preached the philosophy that cheating and adultery could be taught to any husband - this film was typical of a number of films of the 'sexual revolution' of the late 60s; it contained lots of lessons on how not to get caught, including one on denial -- when confronted by his wife when found in bed with another woman, in a vignette with guest-star Joey Bishop - the husband calmly told his outraged wife while getting dressed: "What girl?"; this film had little in the way of nudity due to Production Code restrictions still residually in force, but had lots of leering views of stacked and teasing bombshells with hip-swinging, tight outfits

I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967, Swe.)

Valley of the Dolls (1967)

Weekend (1967, Fr)

Jean Luc-Godard's prescient and politicized film opened with a sexually-graphic menage a trois scene monologue (with loud organ music accompaniment often drowning out the most offensive words) in which affluent bourgeois Parisian Corinne Durand (Mireille Darc), silhouetted and dressed in her panties and bra and sitting on a desk, offhandedly and monotonously described to her fully-dressed un-named male friend a recent bizarre sexual encounter she experienced - she told about a threesome orgy between herself and a couple (Paul and his wife Monique) that was explicitly detailed as the camera shifted left and right, and zoomed in and out; afterwards, she was asked: "Is this true or a nightmare?"; the film's title was derived from the fact that the murderous couple Roland (Jean Yanne) and Corinne were about to take a weekend car trip to kill Corinne's father for inheritance money

Barbarella (1968, Fr./It.)

This sci-fi fantasy (comic-book) sex-capades comedy from Roger Vadim (featuring his new wife Jane Fonda) was edited to receive a PG rating; it opened with an infamous credits sequence that teasingly stripped French comic-strip heroine Barbarella (Jane Fonda) of her space-suit outfit in zero gravity; the title character also made love with the aid of an Orgasmatron - and was sentenced to death by multiple orgasm (delivered by the lethal 'Excessive Machine'); Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea) unsuccessfully attempted to torture and kill Barbarella with pleasure by orgasmically "playing" her with a euphemistic pipe organ ("Sonata for Execution of Various Young Women"); he promised: "Your end will be swift, but sweet, very sweet"; but she completely enjoyed the experience ("It's sort of nice, isn't it?") - followed by his aghast reaction at the sexually self-determined female for defeating the machine and causing it to smoke and burst into flames ("You've blown all its fuses!...You've exhausted its power! It couldn't keep up with you. Incredible. What kind of girl are you?! Have you no shame?! Shame, shame on you! You'll pay for this!")
