> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > _[Bound](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUx62MtsTNo&list=PLd0LhgZxFkVJ4iI_mkUiHjwhW3c98GoLC)_ was a solid thriller. It was the Wachowskis’ first movie. Yes, I really liked this film. Unfortunately I can’t watch the Youtube video (presumably because I’m in the UK.) ---

**The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek** is a [Preston Sturges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Sturges) movie, which means it features sophisticated humor, slapstick, a world-weary philosophy and a hero who seems to get there purely by chance. You’ll either find it to be something like the Coen brothers or you’ll absolutely hate it. Either way it’s worth checking out. ---

> [@Valgard](#): > > Bound is one of the best suspense movies I’ve seen, highly recommended. > > Unless the idea of graphic lustiness between Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly doesn’t appeal to you. Or graphic violence. It’s all done extremely well and fits the movie, but I’ve had people cringe or literally shriek in surprise during some bits. My other favorite from this collection. I’m not exactly clear what Paramount’s economic motivation is for these uploads - maybe the one ad before the film is enough. I hope it succeeds; I’d love to see more studios putting full movies up. ---

“Seven Men From Now” is one of the great westerns of the 1950s by Budd Boetticher and Randolph Scott with Lee Marvin. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Well, Baxter is entitled to his opinion, but I don’t have much use for Baxter’s book. My copy is marked up with comments where I disagree with him – and I’m a guy who hates marking up books. > I’m surprised to see the film has a rating of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. But most review sites I checked seem to say that this is basically a “good” bad film – i.e. - an entertaining bad film, so maybe that’s it. Og knows, it ain’t good science fiction. Bill Warren also praises it ( **I Married a Monster From Outer Space** ) in his book, _Keep Watching the Skies_. I think it’s pretty good, if dated, and features some fine acting from Gloria Talbott and Tom Tryon. The theme–humans taken over by aliens–is standard, but that’s true of a lot of science fiction films, and the sexual aspects give it an interesting twist. The special effects are fine for the time, and as I said, the acting is generally good. I would not describe it as a bad film at all. ---

Artist and Models was supposed to be the best of the Martin and Lewis pics. It was directed by Frank Tashlin. I haven’t watched the whole thing though. It’s a lackluster list. ---

I’m pretty certain I have a DVD collection I bought from Wal-Mart’s bargain bin that contains most of the horror films on that list. When a somewhat recent film such as the not 1986 _Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2_ gets thrown in as well, you know it’s bad. As mentioned above anything that was featured on MST3k is worth a peek, and I’d add _Missing in Action_ as well. It sets a gold standard for bad 1980’s action cheese, although you may have already seen it as AMC enjoyed playing it ad nauseam around 2005-06. ---

The ones I’ve seen and liked: The Chumscrubber Margot at the Wedding Bound I’m interested in checking out Beneath since it’s both a horror movie and it stars Nora Zehetner. Win win! One thing I’m confused about is how this doesn’t violate Youtube’s modesty policy. Most of the movies look like G-Rated Hays Code fare, but Bound has fairly explicit sex and blatant nudity. And yes, for purely research purposes I verified that the sex and nudity in Bound is fully intact in the youtube offering. ---

I have a theory as to why most of them are free. ---

I’ve seen: _ **Appointment With Death** No Man of Her Own Omar Khayyam King Solomon’s Mines Thunder in the East **The Strange Love of Martha Ivers** King Creole Here Comes the Groom **The Deadly Bees The Space Children I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead** Queer Duck **Conquest of Space** Ironwood_ The ones in bold I actually thought were enjoyable.
