Most of them are ones to avoid.

What counts for you? Casino certainly has a great script, direction, and a series of great performances and Sharon Stone's character is definitely doing sex work, but isn't usually regarded as a sex work film.

I need to see more of The Deuce and it's been a long time since I saw Seduction: The Cruel Woman (but that's being sorted...)
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."

The Deuce is good (about the NYC street scene), but the pimp/ho relationships are v depressing!

Somewhat bizarrely, I think the best TV documentary I've seen - out of a very bad bunch - is My Granny the Escort. Despite the clickbait title, it was actually fairly done.

Does anyone else ever have an 'Aileen moment'  ;D (sorry for the bad joke!)

Sadly, that one was not made using best practice, to put it mildly.

I watched 'cam' the other night. It's a Netflix film that's about a cam girl who gets her profile stolen. I enjoyed it. I won't give the story away but I think it's worth a watch.
There's quite a few on Netflix. Put sex work related words in the search and a few should come up.
Off the top of my head:
Client list - a program ran for a couple of seasons with Jennifer love Hewitt as a happy ending massage therapist
Confessions of a Brazilian Call Girl - a biography/erotic drama about Bruna the surfergirl an escort who wrote a blog about her work and became a media personality. It's subtitled but its still worth a watch

I saw Cam at the LFF last year and thought it was great (and I know zero about webcamming).

My all time favourite screen prossie is Jamie Lee Curtis as Ophelia in Trading Places :D.

Ugh I will never stop loving Secret Diaries of a Call Girl. Available on iTunes. And the reason I started escorting in the first place. Damn you Billy Piper!

Jamie Lee Curtis has been on a lot of people's 'I wish' list for about forty years now!

I enjoyed 'The American' about a hitman's relationship with an Italian Prostitute (pretty dark for a Clooney film  ;D)
I found MotherFatherSon on BBC2 the other night to be pretty tough going and won't be watching again (graphic Sex scene near the end, did anyone else see it?)
