barbed-wire-dolls — **Barbed Wire Dolls** (1976)
Originally banned from release in Britain, *Barbed Wire Dolls* is a Euro horror film from Jesus Franco that takes all the terror of prison and turns it up a notch. The film features international soft-core screen legends Lina Romay and Monica Swinn.

beach-babes-from-beyond — **Beach Babes from Beyond** (1993)
This movie delivers on its title's promise: you get three alien babes hooking up and strutting their stuff on California's beaches. You also get some big names like Swayze, Travolta, Estevez, and Stallone! Uh, that's Patrick's brother Don Swayze, Jon's brother Joey Travolta, Sylvester's mom Jackie Stallone, and Emilio's uncle Joe Estevez.

blue-rita — **Blue Rita** (1977)
Jesus Franco, the mind behind *Barbed Wire Dolls*, kept the erotic hits coming in the '70s with *Blue Rita*. Marianne Flety stars as Rita, a Communist spy posing as an exotic dancer tasked with titillating and then torturing wealthy men. Franco's sensual take on the spy genre makes James Bond seem tame.

bummer — **Bummer** (1973)
The free love attitude of the '60s gives way to the hard-hitting drug and sex scene of Los Angeles' Sunset Strip in the '70s. This one's all about drugs, orgies, and a little bit of rock and roll.

cannibal-women — **Cannibal Women** (1989)
If you thought there was an avocado craze nowadays, you clearly didn't know there was a whole sexy actioner set in the avocado jungle 30 years ago! Shannon Tweed (Gene Simmons' wife, BTW) stars in this exotic ride alongside a young Bill Maher, who plays a sexist tour guide.

day-of-the-warrior — **Day of the Warrior** (1996)
Exploitation auteur (sure, we'll call him that) Andy Sidaris makes another appearance on this list with another one of his scintillating action thrillers, this one about a group of sexy badasses that go undercover to stop a human trafficking operation.

erotic-dreams — **Erotic Dreams** (1975)
One of exploitation master Jesus Franco's most provocative films, *Erotic Dreams*-and I'm quoting Full Moon directly-"pushes the limits of psycho-sexual insanity like never before." Listen, it stars a pair of bisexual ex-con strippers turned government spies. What more do you need to know?

faster-pussycat-kill-kill — **Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!** (1965)
In this cult classic, exploitation film pioneer Russ Meyer unleashes three wild go-go dancers on the world as they galavant across California, kicking ass and taking names (literally) along the way.This is a must-watch on Full Moon, as it may be the most culturally significant film on the platform (while still being chock full of cheeky, sexy thrills).

hard-ticket-to-hawaii — **Hard Ticket to Hawaii** (1987)
If you're into babes, boobs, bullets, and bombs, then you gotta check out the filmography of Andy Sidaris. His most known film, *Hard Ticket to Hawaii* is an exotic romp with excessive action and a cast stacked with Playboy Playmates.

lolida 2000 — **Lolida 2000** (1998)
Set in a sexless future where eroticism is illegal, one government worker experiences a sexual awakening while doing her job. It turns out you can't stay chaste while tasked with destroying sexually explicit material!
