"Orgazmo"

A Mormon missionary gets talked into becoming a porno film star in Trey Parker's "Orgazmo" (October Films, 1998). When his film, also called "Orgazmo," becomes a big hit we get a montage of VHS tapes spilling off the assembly line and lines forming at adult theatres like this unidentified one. 
 
Trey Parker stars. Also featured are Dian Bachar, Robyn Lynne Raab, Michael Dean Jacobs and Ron Jeremy. Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote this epic. Parker directed. The cinematography was by Kenny Gioseffi. 
 

It becomes a big crossover hit, taking in almost as much as "E.T." When it starts playing mainstream theatres we see it going up on the marquee at the Los Feliz Theatre, 1822 N. Vermont Ave. Thanks to Cinema Treasures contributor Shoeshoe14 for spotting the theatre in the movie.  

See the page about the Los Feliz Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about the building. It's now operated by Vintage Cinemas.

On IMDb: "Orgazmo"  The top image is one appearing on that site.
