The Beguiled
One man... seven women... in a strange house!
Offbeat Civil War drama in which a wounded Yankee soldier, after finding refuge in an isolated girls' school in the South towards the end of the war, becomes the object of the young women's sexual fantasies. The soldier manipulates the situation for his own gratification, but when he refuses to completely comply with the girls' wishes, they make it very difficult for him to leave.

Sinful
This 1971 film revels in socially unacceptable behavior, like Ravenous but without the cannibalism. It's not for family viewing, but I found it entertaining and amusing.
During the Civil War, a wounded Union soldier (Clint Eastwood) is taken in by a "young ladies" school, where jealousy becomes a dangerous force of nature. The youngest girl also appears in the Star Trek episode "And the Children Shall Lead". In both she plays a cute character similar to the Monty Python rabbit.
It's not woke, but it goes hard into sin, with pedophilia, incest, lust, and more. Even so, it's not explicit, and only one boobie is shown. Boobie girl is supposed to be 17 years old, but the actress was 22. There is a woman-on-woman kiss, but it's in a fantasy sequence and not pushing lesbianism.
It's not a film for everybody, and it's not really about war, but it's an entertaining, twisted film that holds up today. There was even a remake in 2017, but I've heard it is not as good.
