OK, a few years ago I read Rosenbaum and Hoberman’s book [Midnight Movies.](http://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Movies-Da-Capo-Paperback/dp/0306804336/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product) One of the movies it led me to check out was a late sixties, early seventies movie that takes place in some post-apocalyptic future. It’s mostly about a couple–male and female–who live in this largely rural semi-utopia, and occasionally have run-ins with Mad Max-like motorcycle gangs. Oh, and they’re usually naked; lots of casual, full-frontal hippie nudity. The title, if I remember right, was the two main characters’ names: “Somebody and Somebody.” Obviously I can’t search via “and,” and the text search at Amazon using various keywords has produced nothing. Anyone have any idea what movie this might have been? Or do I have to buy another copy of the book? ---

[QUOTE=lissener] Dang. 14 minutes! Did you know that answer, or is your searching skill greater than mind? [/QUOTE] I actually happened to know the movie-- I bought it years ago on laserdisc without knowing what it was. It stands out in my mind for the same reasons it stood out in yours: hippie nudity, post-apocalyptic scenario, etc. Strange film. ---

Awesome. You know you could probably get a pretty penny for that disc on eBay; it’s totally available, even as a bootleg. ---

I’ve thought about selling it on occasion. The last time I saw one for sale was a few years ago, when it was going for about $100. I’m out of the LD collecting loop now, though, so I wonder if prices remain high on titles that never made it to DVD. (I should also try to back it up onto DVD-R at some point, at least.) ---
