Harlan County War (2000)

Harlan County War (2000) stars the adorable Holly Hunter as a Kentucky woman whose mine-worker husband is nearly killed in a cave-in, in the mines that is, not while having sex, though we’ll get to that in a bit. Her father is slowly dying of black lung disease. And, well, she’s reached the end of her rope, so joins the picket lines for a long and violent strike. Why couldn’t it have been a long and sexy strike? That’s because the movie is basically a fictionalized account of a real strike, the longest mining strike in U.S. history, which you may recall from the documentary Harlan County USA (1976). But back to the sex. Holly shows her jollies in a lengthy sex scene. It’s a bit dark, but tits are tits.
