The Adult Film Database is a website that attempts to keep records of all pornographic movies and adult film stars. This includes filmographies, partial biographies, reviews, labeled and categorized adult film stills, as well as a regularly updated adult industry blog which features the latest news about adult performers, movies, directors, studios, web site updates and sundry adult news from around the world.
It was originally created in 1991 under the name Sodomite by a college student. This was an attempt to fill the void of the temporary absence of the Internet Adult Film Database and as a project in web development. In 1999 its name was changed to the AdultFilmDatabase.com. Today, the AdultFilmDatabase.com is a major competitor to the Internet Adult Film Database.
Taking inspiration from both the Internet Adult Film Database and IMDB and forging ties with industry mainstays like Vivid Entertainment, Hustler, Wicked and Digital Playground the AdultFilmDatabase.com currently features information on over 90,000 adult movies and 50,000 performers.
Run by a husband and wife team, the AdultFilmDatabase.com was the first online adult database to include both straight and gay videos and performers. The site is rich in galleries and original articles, also setting it apart from other databases.
On October 1, 2007, the AdultFilmDatabase.com was mentioned in an article about the Internet Adult Film Database from the online equivalent of Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo.
Also, in October 2007, the AdultFilmDatabase.com debunked rumors that legendary adult film performer Tamara Lee had died from AIDS. The news was covered by Adult Video News (AVN) in an article on October 23, 2007.
Famous quotes containing the words adult and/or film:
“Why does not the kitten betray some of the attributes common to the adult puss? A puppy is but a dog, plus high spirits, and minus common sense. We never hear our friends say they love puppies, but cannot bear dogs. A kitten is a thing apart; and many people who lack the discriminating enthusiasm for cats, who regard these beautiful beasts with aversion and mistrust, are won over easily, and cajoled out of their prejudices, by the deceitful wiles of kittenhood.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
