Sexy Movies That Changed History

+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +

"Profoundly Erotic" is Joe Bob Briggs's follow-up to "Profoundly Disturbing."  Like that book, this is also a book of essays about hand-picked films, their creation, the cultural zeitgeist and status quos they threatened, and the ripple effects through film in the years following. As with anything we are accustomed to regarding movies that Joe Bob talks about, the book is sharp, brimming with history, and engaging. If textbooks were like this, we'd all be Ph.Ds. As it is...

"We are drive-in mutants. We are not like other people. We are sick. We are disgusting. If life had a vomit meter, we'd be off the scale. We believe in blood, in b###sts, and in beasts. We believe in Kung-fu City. As long as one drive-in remains on planet Earth, we will party like jungle animals. We will boogie til we puke. The drive-in will never die."

FROM THE COVER [2005]:

"From the always rowdy and randy Joe Bob Briggs comes PROFOUNDLY EROTIC, a collection of essays on sex in film. This revealing guide explores the most seminal films - from cult classics to Hollywood blockbusters - that both shaped and reflected America's changing mores about sex. Briggs takes on the key films that turn us on. He exposes the stories and secrets behind their making and examines how each collided with the sexual sensibilities of its time. Illustrated with lurid stills and posters, the book strips down the hottest screen moments in history, with the faces and bodies we idolize. More than a guide to controversial milestones in film history, PROFOUNDLY EROTIC is an exploration of our sexual awakening as a nation of movie lovers."

"JOE BOB BRIGGS began his career as a film critic for the Dallas Times-Herald and Texas Monthly. In 1986, he started Joe Bob's Drive-In Theater, the highest rated show on The Movie Channel, which ran for ten years. Later he created the equally popular MONSTERVISION on TNT. The author of five books, he is currently developing programming for the new Scream horror cable television network."

This is THE cleanest copy I've seen since it came out, when I worked in a bookstore. I have another copy in very good condition. Message if interested.

*  In the years since this book was printed, Joe Bob has returned to the fore of the horror genre as the host of "The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs" on Shudder. He engages with the fan community, tours the country relentlessly, writes prolifically, and is rarely without a joke and a smile.

Missing from the bio are JB's distinctions as a 3x finalist for a National Magazine Award, his Edgar Award-winning true crime book, EVIDENCE OF LOVE (co-authored with Jim Atkinson and thrice adapted for the screen), and his United Press International (UPI) Pulitzer Prize nomination.
