Fantasy merges with reality when Laurence boards the "Black Bullet" - a magical train in which all his fantasies come true. "Black Bullet" (Le Salon, 1988) - Sean Laurence is a white boy who dreams of sex with hobos, black men and drug addicts. The finale, in which Lon Flexx screws Stefano, is considered one of Stefano's best performances ever. That is, until the model himself shows up to give Joey the balling of his life. Despite sexual doings among Joey's staff and a solid dicking by his best friend, nothing works. "Billboard" (Catalina, 1989) - Joey Stefano is an artist who has painter's block. There are vignettes of boys fucking in the bathroom along the way. It's the day in the life of teacher Matt Ramsey (Peter North), who is fucked by Rick Donovan. "The Bigger, The Better" (Falcon, 1986) - The film that changed Matt Sterling from being an assemby-line director at Falcon into his own studio. This sparks a number of sexual encounters as Mike fucks best friend Kevin Wiles, Kevin talks about his adventures, Mike reminisces about friend Johnny Davenport, Davenport fucks Kevin Williams, Mike goes into the Navy and friend Jeff Quinn fucks John Rocklin. "Big Guns" (Catalina, 1987) - Mike Henson's going into the military. It still sets the tone for most bisexual videos to come. Although not the first bisexual video, this was the first major-studio bisexual video. The final scene, where Lott confronts her husband and his lover, is a classic. When she can't find him, or a job, she turns to nude modelling for money and is a big success. Cara Lott plays the wife and Tico Patterson her hubby. "Bicoastal" (Catalina, 1985) - Tom De Simone, using the name "Lancer Brooks," directs this bisexual tale of a woman searching for her runaway husband.
"Best Little Warehouse in L.A." (Catalina, 1982) - The quintessential film starring legenday blond twink Morgan. They separate, have sex, and come back together as lovers. "Best Friends" (Various sources, 1987) - Mark Jennings (aka Danny Parks) turns gay, only to suffer sexual and verbal abuse from his roommate. "Behind Closed Doors" (Falcon, 1989) - A horny frat-boy peers through keyholes at his frat's initiation night and sees plenty. "Bad Boys Club" (Catalina, 1988) - Notable for Johnny Davenport's seduction of Kevin Williams, Davenport's bottoming for Mike Henson, and Eric Radford's JO at the end. Egan Gets His Paperboy," "Track Coach" and "The Axe Master." "The Axe Master" (Falcon, 1980) - The foundation on which much of gay porn is built. Jim Bentley's fucking of tall, handsome Lou Cass is simply jaw-dropping, and Bentley's plowing of Brad Richardson comes in only a few degrees behind. "All the Way" (Hombres Productions, 1987) - Jim Bentley stars in a story about guys who "go all the way." Yeah, that's the plot. "All of Me" (Jean-Daniel Cadinot, 1983) - A well-hung twink fantasizes about his sexual adventures while posing for a gay porn magazine. I was going to limit this list to just five or six films, but then found myself compiling a list of every '80s film I think is worthwhile. I was flipping through my 1993 "Adam Film World Gay Video Directory," and started thinking about the best films of the '80s. Yet, ask most gay porn fans, and they say that Falcon's earlier stuff was far superior to the body-shaved dreck that's issuing from the studio today like diarrhea from an over-fisted asshole. (Naturally, these are Stryker's two first films.) There's something just sizzling in that first scene in "Powertool" where John Davenport nearly rapes Michael Gere on his prison bed while a sweating, overheated Stryker masturbates in the cell across the way.įalcon films, also, seem to be missing for the most part from most people's lists. I think "Powertool" and "In Hot Pursuit" are outstanding films. Has Jeff Stryker so poisoned his image that people can't stand his films any more? I am, admittedly, not a fan of Jeff Stryker.
Oddly, almost no one mentions "Powertool" (Catalina, 1986). I've been asking friends and other porn-lovers for some time now what they consider the best gay porn from the 1980s.
