Pretty Girl, Vivid Entertainment Group
Repo Girl, Digital Playground
I would put this one down as a close two-way race between Eye of the Beholder and Loaded. Both are excellent and well worth the nod.
Put your money on Bella Loves Jenna though.

The 8th Sin, Vivid Entertainment Group
Bare Stage, Vivid Entertainment Group
The Collector, Wicked Pictures
Debbie Does Dallas: The Revenge, Vivid Entertainment Group
Dual Identity, Vivid Entertainment Group
Flirts , Studio A Entertainment

I am going to have to do some serious Vivid watching before picking one from this bunch. I liked The Collector though.

Lots of good ones to choose from here. I haven’t seen Jules Jordan entry yet, but his stuff is always great. For my money, Eye of the Beholder, Misty Beethoven, Island Fever and Millionaire are all award worth.

The Voyeur 28, John Leslie/Evil Angel Productions
This is the big one for me. I would put Flesh Hunter 7 up with Hellcats and Voyeur 38. OF course you could add Service Animals and Buttmans Big Butt flick on the list. Take your pick of the Evil Angel titles and you can’t go wrong.
Best Gonzo Series
Azz Fest, Video Team

Un-Natural Sex, Diabolic Video Productions
Who’s Your Daddy?, Zero Tolerance Entertainment
There are some good ones here. Seymore Butts is long overdue, but Service Animals and Flesh Hunter are two of the best lines on the market. Gangbang Auditions is also a line that deserves a lot of credit.
More to come soon. Thoughts….fire away.
