When I was a child (6 or 7), I remember seeing a movie at a drive-in which was as I recall a western with only midgets as the actors. This would have been around 1970. It is a fond memory with mom as we weren’t able to do much, But I’m sure the movie was probably pretty bad. Anyone familiar??? Thanks! ---

_Bat Pussy_. Okay, I didn’t actually watch it myself, only clips, but the female protagonist travels around wearing a batwoman outfit on a hoppity hop ball, accompanied by 1970s era TV-style music. You can easily find that part on youtube. ---

Can anyone identify a black-and-white movie I saw 40 years ago? I think it was Czech, but the voice was English (dubbed)? It depicted a Czech village during WW II, and the mixed feelings of one family who turned in their Jewish landlady. She was elderly and isolated, but I still remember her looking around when assembled on the street and saying “Pogrom!” The movie kept me and several friends rapt silent for its duration. I’d like to see it again. ---

Has anybody else here seen “ **Freaks** ”? The olden-days movie that starred actual circus sideshow people. My husband and I were watching something recently when someone chanted “One of us! One of us!” and I nearly fell off the couch laughing. I had to pause it and explain the reference. ---

It was frequently shown on independent TV station horror shows (remember those?) during the 1970s when I was a kid. It’s not a bad film, if not a little to trite in its moralizing. ---

I’ve seen bits of it. It was on Showtime some while back and I flipped it on while channel surfing. But I lost attention and flipped it off sometime later. There was one film I saw years ago, an indy sf movie I rented from a Hollywood Video that I can’t quite remember the name of. Or much of the plot either. It was titled **West** something-or-other. That’s all I remember, that it had West in the title. It was about a medieval type knight that had gotten sacked and went around drinking alot and being broody. Not a lot of action in this flick, except for the ending where he chases and fights some desert nomad sort of people because they stole his wedding ring. I don’t suppose any of that rings anybody’s bell, does it? ---

“[They Saved Hitler’s Brain](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265870/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)” – one of the most unbelievably bad movies ever made. “[Z](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065234/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2)” – really worth seeing “[The Company of Wolves](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087075/?ref_=nv_sr_3)” – I searched and searched for this on video for years after seeing it many years ago. It’s actually pretty good. “[The Wizard of Speed and Time](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081766/?ref_=nv_sr_1)” – There’s a fun little story that goes along with the semi-release of this film, and Mike Jitlov had a lot of fun retelling it at science fiction conventions for a long time. He also gave the finger to the studio by distributing it for free. You probably never saw it unless you attended a convention where he was showing it or giving it away. ---
