stag film

Old-time smut

A stag film is a pornographic movie, especially one from the early-to-mid twentieth century shown at private gatherings of men.

The term evokes grainy, silent footage screened at bachelor parties or men's clubs: They found a box of old stag films in his grandfather's attic.

Now largely historical, replaced by terms like porn or adult film.
