My FemDom Movie Reviews

My movie review column is due by the end of July. I have yet to decide on a movie to review and I’m open to suggestions. To be perfectly honest, I believe I’ve already reviewed the all-time best FemDom movies (be they mainstream or cult classic films) for ‘Predominant’ since I began back in 2005. I have a long list of movies with FemDom themes but most are not going to score very high on my recommendation scale for one reason or another.

In finding movies to review for Predominant, I am often tempted to include movies that have but a brief FemDom scene, even if the plot itself has nothing to do with female domination per say. I’ve reviewed movies such as “The Choirboys” and “My Tutor” but I’ve avoided reviewing movies like “Revenge of the Pink Panther”, “Tomcats” and “One Night at McCools”. All of these films have notable FemDom scenes but the FemDom scene must be extraordinary enough (or involve a character whose FemDom persona is important enough) that the one scene (or single character) is what makes the movie memorable, and therefore reviewable.

There are plenty of movies out there with tiny snippets of FemDom and some of these scenes resonate with certain people in a powerful way. And these scenes can really sneak up on you when you least expect it. I’ve noticed that when there is hype for FemDom in a film, usually the movie disappoints. On the other hand, you can be watching a movie that on the surface has nothing to do with female domination, and you’re not expecting to witness a scene that involves female domination, when all of a sudden, there it is.

For example, a few weeks ago I was watching the film “Pirate Radio” which is about a rouge group of DJ’s living together and broadcasting Rock music 24/7 from a boat in the ocean back to England where the law dictates only 30 minutes of Rock or Pop can be played at stations in the country.  I watched this movie strictly for personal entertainment (and the wonderful soundtrack), with FemDom being the furthermost thing from my mind. Yet, to my surprise, out of nowhere arose a juicy little cuckolding scene.

In the movie, one of the DJ’s is a loveable and naïve male named Simon. He announces to his extended family of DJ’s that he is getting married and that she will be joining him on the boat to live with him. The boat is comprised of all males except one woman who is a lesbian. The owner of the pirate station performs the ceremony on the boat and they are all amazed when the young lady, Elenore (played by the beautiful January Jones), arrives because she is gorgeous, whereas Simon is very plain. In fact, the station owner refers to Elenore as a Goddess multiple times during the wedding ceremony.


The honeymoon night is nothing to write home about as Simon tells one of his close friends on the ship that Elenore was tired and he was overly excited, but they have the rest of their lives to make love so he’s not too disappointed. Well, seventeen hours into their marriage, Elenore wants to have a talk with Simon. It turns out that Simon met Elenore in a bar but two weeks before she met him, she met the lead DJ (and most popular Rock DJ in all of Great Britain), Gavin, at the same bar and she fell in love with him. Gavin told her that she couldn’t live with him on the boat because no girlfriends are allowed. The only way a woman could live on the boat was if she was married to one of the DJ’s, and Gavin wasn’t the marrying type. Therefore, Elenore came up with the idea that she would marry Simon so she could have regular sex with Gavin.

The scene where the attractive Elenore (dressed in a sexy negligée) informs her new husband that although she is his new wife, she plans on having sex with Gavin every night in the cabin next door (and Simon can listen in if he wants) is priceless for cuckold enthusiasts as the scene drips with FemDom and male humiliation. Simon is both emasculated and heart-broken upon hearing this from his bride.


In fact, he calls her “cruel” and she looks at him as if she can’t understand why he isn’t more excited about her great plan. It turns out that Elenore only sleeps with Gavin one night as the rest of the DJ’s remove her from the boat out of sympathy for Simon. Nonetheless it was a great cuckolding scene because of Elenore’s dominant and confident attitude. After all, in her mind, Simon should only care about what makes her happy, and having sex every night with Gavin is what will make her happy. You find great little FemDom scenes like this in movies from time to time.

If you’re into movies with FemDom scenes or themes, you might want to check out some of these films. And if your favorite is not on this list, let me know what it is. I can always use more recommendations.

  1. Mistress, My I suggest you do a column on a genre like Film Noir. Female domination oozes out of the screen in films like "Out of the Past" and "Double Indemnity". In hope this suggestion helps.

  2. Thanks for this list and your priority for dramatic quality over fetish content. Did you consider The Blue Angel made in 1930 in Germany with Marlene Dietrich? (Available on Netflix: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The-Blue-Angel-German-Version/70023071). I saw this decades ago and not since, but recall it as a stunning, somewhat creepy, tale of a man who gives up every shred of dignity and respect to grovel at the feet of the luscious Marlene's hauty and uncaring cabaret singer.

    PS I enjoy reading of your adventures and lifestyle. Thank you for this blog.

  3. Thanks for the suggestion. I decided on "The Blue Angel". I downloaded it from Amazon and really enjoyed it. I'll probably give it a 4 stars recommendation.

  4. Check out Head in the Clouds. It's with Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz. It has two scenes that are amazing. One is when the main male character gives the lead female character an amazing oral sex, and the other one is when the lead female character ties a man to a bad and whips the shit out of him.

  5. Lovely website.

    I strongly suggest you look up "Hobson's Choice". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047094/?ref_=nv_sr_1

    It's a British 1954 comedy, directed by the great David Lean, and featuring Charles Laughton. I think it is a wonderful femdom film from before the term "femdom" existed. I daughter of an overbearing man, takes over the life of a meek bootmaker, and turns him into a man.
