>What happened to the erotic movie genre? Films that were overtly sexual but also had some attempt at plot or artistic value. Did they all just get replaced by the porn industry?

With the advent of the internet, softcore movies became redundant as you didn't need to go see something like that at the theater and could beat off in the privacy of ones own home.

One of my favorites is The Lover from 1992 and if I'm feeling adventurous, Nekromantik and Tetsuo: The Iron Man!!!FACT!!!
