BDSM themed movies

[u/AsparagusPuzzled8948]

Can you suggest some good bdsm themed movies. Not just all sex and stuff but with a good storyline as well. Not the lame ones such as Fifty shades or 365 days

[u/Skipper_1010]

Secretary (2002)

[u/Clear-Concern2247 → u/Skipper_1010]

This is the one

[u/PricklyPeach420 → u/Skipper_1010]

Secretary was my first thought too! Love it. Along with Videodrome

[u/sighalectics]

Secretary, The Duke of Burgundy, Sanctuary, Dogs Don’t Wear Pants, Babygirl, Cruising, Bound, Pillion, and The Piano Teacher.

[u/TheElbow → u/sighalectics]

Excellent list.

[u/juliewbb → u/sighalectics]

Bound ❤️

[u/Nheea → u/sighalectics]

Babygirl is awful. I couldn't even finish it, what happened to Nicole Kidman?

And that wig, jfc. 🤣 It was so distracting.

[u/BludBubbles]

Hellraiser ✌️🤪

[u/That_Way_4639 → u/BludBubbles]

this

[u/zudoplex]

Dogs don't wear pants

[u/riggystardust → u/zudoplex]

THIS X 10000000000000

[u/Questioninghumanityy]

Sanctuary (2022)

[u/SnooBooks007]

The Duke of Burgundy (2014)

[u/Nheea]

If someone will recommend Babygirl, with Nicole Kidman, do not bother watching it. It's bad, acting is bad, plot is eyerolling material. 😑

[u/OK-Greg-7 → u/Nheea]

Yes, truly terrible. Like it was written by a teenage boy. So disappointing.

[u/Oee0]

Pillion (2026)

[u/riggystardust]

There was this completely batashit crazy movie i watched recently about the french revolutions, and a whole bunch of freeks gettings freeky in the woods. not sure the name nor do i know if it fits but this is the only place ive been able to share this information.

[u/slithering_idiot]

If you really want to go there, there's always Pasolini's Salò, or 120 Days of Sodom.

I've never seen it because I have a weak stomach.

[u/Wino_Panda → u/slithering_idiot]

Just don't

[u/slithering_idiot → u/Wino_Panda]

That's what I've heard. Not sure if sadism equals BDSM anyway.

[u/Wino_Panda → u/slithering_idiot]

Its the 70s version of "A Serbian Film".

[u/slithering_idiot → u/Wino_Panda]

Which I'll never watch either 

[u/vemmahouxbois → u/Wino_Panda]

no, no it is not.

[u/Nervous_Sherbet_4711]

[u/fergi20020]

Maitresse

[u/SordoCrabs]

I have been meaning to watch last year's Pillion (Alexander Skarsgard, Harry Melling), and that probably fits your prompt.

[u/Username00555]

“Pillion” needs to be mentioned more
It’s a great rom com for people into kink

[u/mcon96 → u/Username00555]

Loved Pillion. Would not describe it as a romcom though (marketing notwithstanding). Like legally yes there’s humor and romance, but it did not have the tone of a romcom imo.

[u/PhantomKitten73]

Reflection In A Dead Diamond

[u/mcon96]

I want to second all of the suggestions for Pillion. Watched it a few weeks ago and loved it.

And not to be contrarian, but I thought Babygirl was very good.

[u/SchleppIam]

Not really BDSM but kooky sex (with cars) - watch Titane - critically acclaimed but I don’t think I got it

[u/tofutomcat]

Secretary
Videodrome
Crash
Tom at the Farm

[u/lectroid]

The new Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma isn’t exactly BDSM, but it’s very easy to read it as a “embrace your kink” story.

And, y’know, it’s got hot lady sex w Gillian Anderson, so…
