Gary, Rick and David are American teens with one thing on their mind. They move from party to party, trying out their latest chat-up lines, which usually ends in miserable failure for Gary, as he's more interested in finding true romance than a quick fumble in someone's parents' bedroom.

So when Karen arrives at their school, Gary falls head over heels in love, but Rick's baser intentions towards her threaten to break up their friendship for good. Championed by Eli Roth (Hostel) as one of the most underrated films of its era, 'The Last American Virgin' is a raucous but also surprisingly intelligent and sobering look at the hideousness of growing up, peer pressures, misplaced expectations and unforeseen consequences. It's also a superb snapshot of the early Eighties music scene, with the soundtrack featuring Blondie, Devo, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Police, U2 and many others.

Alongside 'Come Play with Me' and 'Confessions of a Window Cleane'r, "Eskimo Nell" takes its place as one of the most celebrated British sex comedies of the 1970s.

Featuring a witty script from Michael Armstrong (who also stars) and directed by a young Martin Campbell - years before he helmed the James Bond movies GoldenEye and 'Casino Royale' - 'Eskimo Nell' is a hilarious satire on the low-budget British movie industry. Three inexperienced filmmakers (Armstrong, Christopher Timothy and Terence Edmond) attempt to make a movie version of the notoriously rude poem 'The Ballad of Eskimo Nell', with disastrous results.
