Films Shown in the Documentary "We Kill for Love"

"We Kill for Love" is a very well-received 2023 documentary by Anthony Penta about the history of the Erotic Thriller. It starts with the gothic mystery and film noir roots of the erotic thriller before covering the birth of the Erotic Thriller in the 1980s and the eventual glut of erotic thrillers in the 1990s. This list shows 288 of the films that appear in the film clips in this long and well-researched documentary (which is pretty close to all of them). I used the list of credits at the end of the film to catch and confirm these titles. I added "Cat Chaser" to the list even though it doesn't have a film clip in the documentary, because advertising art for "Cat Chaser" is shown prominently in the documentary at one point. I also added an entry for the documentary itself at the end of the list.
