"Personal Services" is a 1987 British comedy film directed by Terry Jones and written by David Leland. It is the story of the rise of a madam of a suburban brothel which caters to older men. The story is inspired by the real experiences of Cynthia Payne, the legendary "House of Cyn" madam. The film was banned in the Republic of Ireland upon theatrical release. At the time, there were four films that were banned in Ireland, and Terry Jones had directed three of them ("Personal Services", "Monty Python's Life of Brian", and "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life").

The film stars Shirley Stelfox and Julie Walters as "Christine Painter", a thinly disguised Cynthia Payne.
