<description><![CDATA[John Wayne finally landed an Oscar for his role as one-eyed marshal Rooster Cogburn in Henry Hathaway's scenic blockbuster, which charmingly retains the archaic speech patterns of the source novel. Great supporting cast.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the greatest of the Ealing comedies, this blackly humorous multiple murder farce is best known for Alec Guinness's eight roles as all the D'ascoyne family victims, but it's really murderous lead Dennis Price who walks away with the acting honors.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You couldn't tell from this trailer, which completely obscures the plot, or the obfuscating ad campaign ("Veronica Lake is on the take"(!)), but Preston Sturges' brilliant Hollywood satire, which inspired the Coen Bros. "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" and has been the target of decades of aborted remake attempts, is one of the finest movies about the movies ever made.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The second of Ray Harryhausen's low budget Columbia series improves on It Came from Beneath the Sea thanks to a better screenplay by blacklisted Bernard Gordon and straightforward direction by the ever-employed Fred F. Sears.
Unfortunately that tinny music is carried over, but it's still a classic of 50s sci fi. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Third of Nigel Kneale's visionary Quatermass features adapted from his groundbreaking BBC serials, this one dispenses with Hammer's '50s reliance on transplanted US stars and took a decade to make it into production. Although somewhat cribbed from ideas in Arthur C Clarke's "Childhood's End", it's still one of the most challenging and intelligent sci-fi movies ever. This is the original British trailer.

<description><![CDATA[This classic mockumentary about The World's Loudest Heavy Metal Band was largely improvised before unsuspecting patrons of various LA rock emporiums, who accepted Spinal Tap as a real band. May be the best film of its type ever.

<pubDate>Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:40:26 PST</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Producer Jon Davison takes us through the hurry-up production of one of the last of Roger Corman's "three girls" drive-in exploitation pictures in which nubile nurses, teachers or in this case starlets have semi-clothed adventures around LA for 80 minutes or so. Enthusiastically narrated, to say the least, by The Real Don Steele.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Only a Blue Meanie could hate George Dunning's  limited animation classic, which screwed the pyschedelic cap onto the 1968 toothpaste that also included Kubrick's 2001 and predated MTV music videos by some 12 years.

<description><![CDATA[Dr. Morbius. His daughter Altaira. Robby the Robot. The Monster from the Id.  Did we mention Altaira? (!) All are cultural icons introduced in the best-loved space opera of the nifty fifties, based on The Bard and bolstered by memorable fx by Disney's Josh Meador as well as a famous free ticket promo gimmick from Quaker Oats. "Welcome to Altair 4, gentlemen."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the bigger interplanetary spectacles of the 50s, and one of the last films shot in 3-strip Technicolor, Universal's "Supreme Excitement of Our Time" brought out the sense of wonder in a generation of cold war tykes while scaring them half to death with the unlikely but cool "Mutants": "similar to the insect life on your own planet, but larger of course."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Producer Roger Corman was certain Monte Hellman's down home redneck version of The Hustler would be popular south of the Mason-Dixon line without realizing that cockfighting was a general market embarrassment by 1974. Here we have both the original trailer plus a somewhat desperate attempt to re-release it sans its basic gimmick.

<description><![CDATA[Columbia Pictures chief Harry Cohn never forgave producer Stanley Kramer for this early Dr. Suess fantasy that was supposed to be another Wizard of Oz but turned out more like Willie Wonka as directed by Liberace. One of the stranger major studio "family" films, with subtexts you just don't wanna know about.]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:13:14 PST</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Eli Roth loves the trailer, hates the movie-- altho some of us at TFH regard John Boorman's ill-fated sequel as one of the most prodigiously imaginative and intellectually audacious, if dramatically inert, studio movies of the decade. Mangled after its disastrous opening, it's since been restored on dvd.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dodge Challenger sales spiked when this existential road trip hit the screen in 1971. Symbolism abounds but there's a gonzo rebel tone that makes this car chase extravaganza one of the cooler pix of the era, and one that defines the term Cult Classic. Charlotte Rampling's cameo as an Angel of Death was cut before release but exists in the British version, an extra on the dvd.

<description><![CDATA[It's pretty much a bromide that if James Dean had not died at his peak he might have ended up like Troy Donahue, but in this emblematic Nick Ray film, released after Dean's death in a 1955 auto accident, he continues to electrify new generations with his raw emotion.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dennis Hopper's counterculture classic started out as one more drive-in biker flick but morphed into something deeper, the right picture at the right time to sum up the 1960s and question the American Dream. A kick in the pants to the Hollywood establishment that jump-started the indie movement of the '70s.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One-time industrial filmmaker George Romero's seminal Pittsburgh indie (an unauthorized re-imagining of "I Am Legend") changed the face of horror films and redefined the word "zombie" for a generation. It spawned a flood of imitations, but a copyright snafu sent Romero's signature work into the public domain and he had to remake it in color to reclaim rights to what became a popular series.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Don Siegel and Clint Eastwood used their combined boxoffice clout to get Universal to make this arty, Ambrose Bierce-like civil war gothic melodrama full of not-so-repressed psychosexuality. This trailer sells it like a Gone with the Wind soap opera. It flopped, but it's a unique and creepy movie.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Lest America become overrun with Commie hordes, this urgent warning from Al Zugsmith in the form of a mass hallucination of stock footage destruction puts us on the right path to stockpiling armaments. It's actually lots of fun and it features both Lois Lanes from the tv Superman series in small roles.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the year's big hits in its original Spanish 70mm version, but in America it was just another drive-in horror dualler for AIP. Even in its GP-rated cut there's a lot of creepy eroticism on view, and the girls' school setting provides lots of pulchritude, if not much nudity.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[John Frankenheimer's chilling adaptation of David Ely's sci fi novel is one of the last classic works of his prolific 60s period before a dry spell and comeback in the 90s. A great score by Jerry Goldsmith and probably Rock Hudson's best performance.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Author William Golding turned down numerous entreaties for movie adaptations of his provocative novel, finally accepting Peter Brook's concept of taking 30 or so boys to a tropical island and semi-improvising a feature film. The result, surprisingly, was one of the most faithful movie versions of a novel to date.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For his third outing as a director, cinematographer Nicolas Roeg  came up with this sublimely creepy adaptation of a Daphne Du Maurier story shot on location in Venice. The simultaneous release of "The Exorcist" took some of the wind out of its sails in the US, but it's now considered a horror classic.

<description><![CDATA[Even with a trailer tracked with library music from Teenagers from Outer Space, Roger Vadim's gorgeous and sexy pre-Bava Euro-horror is one of the coolest, most unjustly neglected vampire pix of all time, mostly because it's been unseeable for years. Come on, Paramount, where's the DVD?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It <I>seemed</I> like a good idea at the time-- give the sequel to one of Fox's soap opera hits to skinflick auteur Russ Meyer in the heady days of X-rated prosperity. Ok, it didn't work out so well at the boxoffice, but it did give us a touchstone for big studio psychotronic insanity that has yet to be matched. This trailer is mainly a staged photo shoot selling Russ-as-auteur.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Shot near Tarrytown, New York as "The Head That Wouldn't Die", this sleazy little gem sat unreleased for two years until AIP picked it up in 1962.

<description><![CDATA[The first of eight collaborations between noir specialist Anthony Mann and a newly flinty James Stewart, this psychological western exudes corrosive post-war anxiety. It also trailblazed a groundbreaking profit participation deal (engineered by Stewart's agent Lew Wasserman) that transformed the industry.

<description><![CDATA[Robert Aldrich's brutal Cavalry vs Indians western is a Vietnam allegory that pulls no punches when it comes to violence. However, there seems to be no definitive version, since Aldrich and star Burt Lancaster each prepared different cuts of the film which were released domestically and abroad, and then recut again, often to eliminate horse falls. Various video releases add and drop scenes, dialog and alter the music score.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Long before Gordon Gekko told us "greed is good", Sir Guy Grand (Peter Sellers) embarked on a mad quest to prove that everyone has their price. Terry Southern transforms his cynical novel into a nihilistic lark full of celebrity cameos and Monty Python-esque gags, some contributed by actual soon-to-be Python members.

<description><![CDATA[Billy Wilder took a lotta brickbats for this "vulgar", "tasteless" and "crude" sex comedy set in Climax, Nevada, which was roundly condemned from pulpits and lecterns countrywide in 1964. Its sleazy reputation has been somewhat rehabilitated over the years as pop culture has raced to embrace such concepts as DNA hair gel and carnal relations with baked goods.

<description><![CDATA[Low-budget auteur Edgar G. Ulmer, who gave us "Detour" and "Man from Planet X" proves you can't win 'em all with this derivative and nonsensical second-feature set in the 1800s, but shot in a Hancock Park mansion through whose windows 1957 cars can be seen driving by.

<description><![CDATA[Another lacerating depiction of the values of post-war middle-class Americans from Douglas Sirk, who Universal seemed to regard merely as their house soap-opera specialist. Once again a long-suffering spouse is put through the ringer; here it's widow Jane Wyman taking flak from the country club set as well as her selfish kids for her affair with much younger free spirit Rock Hudson.

<description><![CDATA[In 1961 Roger Corman took a flyer from his exploitation roots and made one from the heart, from Charles Beaumont's angry novel inspired by the rabble-rousing exploits of Southern racist John Kasper.  When exhibitors refused to book it, Corman returned to Edgar Allan Poe and the movie disappeared into grindhouse hell under titles like Shame and I Hate Your Guts. William Shatner stars, but Corman's first choice was...Tony Randall!

The wit and wisdom of writer Charles B. Griffith, Roger Corman's hipper-than-thou alter-ego, is in even fuller flower here than in his classic followup, "Little Shop of Horrors", aided immeasurably by Dick Miller's indelible performance as psychotic busboy Walter Paisley.
