See for yourself: Quote:
LONDON (AFP) - A cult 1970’s porn film has been voted one of the 100 most influential films, joining the likes of Gone With The Wind and Citizen Kane.
The 1972 film Deep Throat appears on a new list of 100 Landmark Films included in the Radio Times Guide to Films 2007. The list has been compiled by Radio Times’ film reviewers and is not a list of the greatest ever films but rather a poll of landmarks for either an art form or the film industry.
"These are films whose time, context and circumstances have made them significant," said Radio Times film editor Andrew Collins.
The film starred Linda Susan Boreman as ‘Linda Lovelace’ and is described as "cheerfully trashy, charmingly silly" by the magazine. The movie was notable for popularising oral sex and launching a brief fad of ‘porn chic’ -- where it became fashionable to watch pornographic movies in traditional cinemas. Boreman went on to leave the pornography industry and became a spokeswoman for the anti-pornography movement.
The two most recent films to make it onto the landmark film list are Shrek (2001) and last year's Brokeback Mountain.
The BBC Guide contains more than 21 000 film titles from a century of cinema, "covering everything from the greatest box office successes to the embarrassing tv movies that celebrities would rather forget about".

Kinda makes a person wonder if in 2037 or so if we will see things like Gag Factor or Donkey Punch showing up on lists like this? Possible? Yes. Probable? I'm leaning towards NO, but stranger things definitely have happened.

Well since it came out roughly a decade before I was born, along with the fact that I haven't really studied the history of adult film or just plain old film for that matter, this article kinda caught me by surprise.

At Wikipedia is some more info about the movie: Link
Last year the documentary Inside Deep Throat was released which I haven't seen yet. Does anyone know if it's any good?

Deep Throat had two elements to it that were rare for it's time, anal sex and shaven pubic hair. Linda Lovelace engaged in both, and even had coca cola pured into her cunt and had it sucked out with a twirly straw.
Revolutionary stuff back then!

. Kinda pointless response, but me and my friends had a good laugh out of the situation though.
