Barbarella

Jane Fonda brings sex to the cosmos as the iconic space maiden in then-husband Roger Vadim's camp sci-fi fantasy based on a French comic strip. It's the 41st century and a female astronaut tracks down an evil scientist who has got his hands on a dangerous weapon. Ooh er missus. The movie is also to blame for Eighties New Romantics Duran Duran getting their name. Fonda reputedly couldn't stand it...but you might find it a guilty pleasure.

Barbarella

The sci-fi fantasy film, based on the French comic-strip, that Jane Fonda is reputedly least fond of - which portrays her as a space maiden and general sex object searching for an evil scientist.

It does provide some campy erotic fun, though, with John Phillip Law as the blind angel Pygar and David Hemmings as the revolutionary Dildando.

Anita Pallenberg plays the sexy villainess, the Black Queen and Milo O'Shea is Duran Duran (a character whose name inspired the hit Eighties band) who makes use of a rather unique torture machine.

Mildly kinky, if a little dated, but with an oh-so-watchable title sequence.
