adult movie

X-rated cinema

Adult movie is a euphemism for pornographic film—a movie depicting explicit sexual acts intended for arousal rather than artistic or narrative purposes.

The term provides a polite way to reference pornography: The hotel charges extra for adult movies.

Adult in this sense distinguishes content restricted to those over 18 from material suitable for general audiences.
