12 Trashiest Films Ever Made
11. The Babysitter (1969)
One of those rare pictures that delivers more than the trailer promises, The Babysitter is a blast of vintage sleaze whose attempts to shock and exploit take precedence over logic and motivation, resulting in an abundance of unbelievable caricatures behaving in dumb (and uproarious) ways.
Our heroine is Candy (nudge), one of those free-thinking young women who just wants to smoke pot, dance naked and tell some groovy guy, Man, I dig you, you turn me on. Shes also cranking the handle of an aging prosecutor whos seeking refuge from the pent-up, Bridge-playing sobersides that blames him for everything wrong with their marriage.
What Candy doesnt realize is that her squeeze already has a grown daughter, who some thugs are threatening to out as a lesbian (this is 1969, you see). You know youre watching a classy movie when the filmmakers take a show, dont tell approach to her sexuality, lingering on the poolside smooching and ear-nibbling before the actresses hit the sauna for some serious method acting.
