Barbarella

Pros: Somewhat entertaining
Cons: Very campy and silly.  Not much of a plot.

I have heard some about the movie Barbarella over the years without knowing that much about the movie.  I knew it had something of a cult following and that some consider it to be an entertaining movie despite it being cheesy.  I ...

Pros: Sexy and fun
Cons: Not "Gone With the Wind"

This movie is what Jane Fonda was up to in 1968. Of course, she was married to the director, Roger Vadim, who was famous for being married to the ultra-sexy Brigette Bardot and had an affair with Catherine Deneuve, and made movies like "And God...

Pros: Utterly enjoyable; great sets
Cons: Bad cinematography; lame more often than sexy

1968’s Barbarella is The Wizard of Oz for the horny.

Dorothy, er, Barbarella, is assigned by the President of the Republic of Earth (who tells her it’s not necessary that she be dressed for their videoconference) to find and apprehend mad...

Pros: Beautiful sets and people and music
Cons: The myopic critics

Pros: Cheesy sci-fi camp with Jane Fonda!
Cons: Must be a B-movie fan

There's a reason Jane Fonda doesn't talk about Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy these days. She's an Oscar-nominated actress, recently married to media mogul Ted Turner, active in fitness videos and philantropy.

Barbarella is pure,...

Pros: Helped Jane become famous
Cons: deliberate foolishness

The only thing I will say about this film is that for it's time it did nothing for the women's movement. Don't get me wrong, I am not the die hard feminist. I would love to invent the Orgasmatron....;-)). And then theres the band name that came from it....

Pros: Jane Fonda + not much clothes + lotsa sex = Barbarella
Cons: Pygar, the angel.
