Caligula
Starring Malcolm McDowell, Caligula is a 1979 erotic historical drama that follows the rise and fall of Roman Emperor Caligula. It is the only film ever to be produced by the men’s magazine Penthouse, with Bob Guccione, the magazine’s founder, who set out to make an adult film with a feature narrative. Extras were cast for unsimulated scenes, which was disturbing to many viewers at the time. The film ran into serious issues considering its sexual content, with its uncut version still banned in numerous countries.
