The X List (National Society of Film Critics)
This is the definitive list from the book "The X List: The National Society of Film Critics’ Guide to the Movies That Turn Us On" edited by Jami Bernard (Da Capo Press, 2005, ISBN 0-306-81445-5 "amazon":http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/105-7162265-4876430?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+X+list&x=17&y=30 ).
This is a companion volume of sorts to the NSFC’s well known book "The A List: 100 Essential Films" which came out in 2002.
The list is presented in alphabetical order as in the book. There are 80 entries on the list.
Notes: 1) The entry on Hercules also includes Reeve’s follow up film, Hercules Unchained, as a pair. 2) I don’t believe Ichikawa’s The Makioka Sisters is in print anymore, though there was a VHS version and a Laserdisc version put out by Critierion, who will hopefully put out the DVD version. 3) The film Talk Dirty to Me (1980) is the pornographic movie directed by Anthony Spinelli "IMDb":http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081596/ starring John Leslie and Jessie St. James.
