Helen Mirren, Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole (voice), John Gielgud The most expensive adult movie (25 million dollars in 1979) ever made, 'Caligula' tells the tale of the mad Roman emperor's rise and fall. Depicting his descent into madness and depravity with graphic sex and violence with an all-star cast, 'Caligula' is a true cult classic. Lavish sets, some truly over the top acting courtesy of Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren and John Gielgud, and blazing direction from Tinto Brass help to lift the film from its roots in American porn empire Penthouse and create a wonderful vision of the debauchery in ancient Rome.
