Kim Ki-Duk:
- Bad Guy

Pabst’s Die Dreigroschenoper.
Not forgetting the great Louise Brooks in Pandora’s Box
@ Kenji – Surely not! She was no hooker! She was a lady of taste.
Ok, then how about Shanghai Express?
neil jordan’s mona lisa is a beautiful film
Everyone’s favorite Call Girl,
Best hooker films – Godard’s
Worst hooker film ever – Pretty Woman
Working Girls is an undervalued film by Lizzie Borden.
El Pez que Fuma (Román Chalbaud)
Claire Dolan (Lodge Kerrigan)
Night Shift (Ron Howard)
Risky Business (Paul Brickman)
Am I the only one who thinks there’s TOO many films about hookers?
I think it could/should be definitely considered a convention of “artsy” cinema.
The Center of the World, with Peter Sarsgaard and a very, very saucy Carla Gugino…
Shohei Imamura’s The Insect Woman.
All About My Mother has to be one of the best.
Berjuan,
I couldn’t agree more.
Black Hooker.
Emmanuelle
“Flims” about hookers…
Ocean’s 12
Cannonball Run II
Valentine’s Day

Well, I’m going to have to go with the one I just finished watching – Mizoguchi’s Street of Shame.
Runner up – Ken Russell’s Crimes of Passion

Brad,
Thanks for reminding me about Street of Shame. A bit melodramatic but not bad at all.
London to brighton isa great british movie about child prostitution, homelessness and the uk underworld. It was a smashwhen releasd in the uk, but probabydidn.t crossthe atlantic too well.
ABOUT hookers or with hookers in them? I certainly wouldn’t consider Elmer Gantry, Taxi Driver or some these other selections ABOUT hookers…
I would consider these…
Jeanne Dielman
Crimes of Passion
Mamma Rosa
Midnight Cowboy
Vivre Sa Vie
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
I’d vote for Klute followed by Working Girls.
Dunaewa
2 or 3 Things I Know About Her, Jean-Luc Godard.
Paprika, Tinto Brass.
