I saw Hard Candy as well.
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.
The Terror of Tiny Town?
Has anyone else seen Cecil B. Demented?
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.
I’ve seen it. IIRC it was on A&E several times in the 1980s or early 90s. (I still have the Original Cast LP, and I also saw a production of it at the Goodman Theater around 1972.)
Thanks, so much. Every so often, through the years I’ve wondered about this. Now, I’m going to go and hit my Mom and sister with some trivia.
Saw it a while back. Not one of John Water’s best, though.
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.
I have. TCM even shows it periodically. It’s awful.
A&E used to show a British movie called “Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit”. From what I remember about it, it was about an adolescent girl who realized she was a lesbian, and had a tyrant for a mother. Difficult to watch, and one I couldn’t turn away from.
Directed by Tod Browning of Dracula fame!
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.
Wow, I was thinking about that last night and started to post it. A&E used to show a lot of good British films, etc.
Charlotte Coleman, who played the young girl, died from an asthma attack at age 33.
I saw Fido! We spent a winter watching zombie flicks.
Anyone here seen Malice In Wonderland? Not horrible or anything, just haven’t met anyone who’s heard of it and we only watched it because my wife had coffee with Maggie Grace one day.
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” – one of the most unbelievably bad movies ever made.
“Z” – really worth seeing
“The Company of Wolves” – 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” – 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.
I saw this during its original release! Screechy Neil Diamond songs and an unbearably pretentious script, but the film LOOKS fantastic and fully deserved its Oscar nomination for cinematography.
Is it The Shop on Main Street?
Anyone else seen Shattered Glass?
Anakin Skywalker (errr Hayden Christensen) plays Stephen Glass, a popular reporter at the New Republic, who seems to be getting scoops that are too good to be true… maybe because they are.
