  • Satyricon, dir. Federico Fellini (Italy, 1969)
    • based upon Petronius' Satyricon. "Not surprisingly, pederasty in the Satyricon is said by Heinze to be a parody of the sentimental love of the Greek romances."[1]
  • Les Amis (The Friends), dir. Gérard Blain (France, 1970).
    • "This movie about a pederastic love is a real masterwork of rigor and pudor, like the best pictures of Bresson's cinema. Much dignity without the the facility and the glamour of the gay cinema that we know since two decades."[2]

  • Racconti di Canterbury (Canterbury Tales), dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini (Italy, 1972)

Fabio Frangini, La “Trilogia della vita” di Pier Paolo Pasolini "In seguito, dopo aver “osservato chi osserva”, lo Straniero si sostituisce al Delatore e spia dallo stesso buco tra i panneggi della tenda, cogliendo l’attimo in cui il pederasta povero sospende per un momento l’atto sessuale per addentare una mela e per offrirla al ragazzo sdraiato."[4]
  • Voor een verloren soldaat (For A Lost Soldier), dir. Roeland Kerbosch (The Netherlands, 1993)[5]
  • Gohatto (Taboo), dir. Nagisa Oshima (Japan, 1999).
