"The most literate and stimulating cinematic talk session since My Dinner With Andre"

 

- John Hartl, Seattle Times......

 

In this widely acclaimed film, set on the impressive island-abbey of Mont Saint Michel in France, Liv Ullmann, Sam Waterston, and John Heard portray very dissimilar vacationers caught up in a spontaneous and life-affirming sweep of self-expression and new ideas.

 

MindWalk played in numerous theaters in the United States and has been shown repeatedly on cable television. It had a record run for over two years in a matinee theater in Los Angeles.

There is one for my Amazon.com list

 

yeah, any movie with Bill Murry is outragous, I can hardly watch "What About Bob"

 

Has anyone seen "Spaced Invaders" Probably the best alein invader movie of the last 30 years. (if comedy counts:hihi:)

I do not remember seeing "Spaced Invaders" I did enjoy watching Johnny Depp playing Hunter Thompson in "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" very funny. Bill Murray's take on Thomson has got to be hilarious.

"Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!"

 

 

Love it. :rolleyes:

 

In the catagory of 70's Sexplotation film's..

 

Flesh Gordon is an ingenious spoof of "Flash Gordon" which set the standard for the porno industry to spoof just about everything.

 

The story is pretty simple. Emperor Wang of the Planet Porno has unleashed a sex ray on Earth that needs to be stopped. Flesh Gordon and his crew have to stop it.

 

This film (BTW, the extended DVD version) has some pretty good stopmotion effects, which represent the beasts that Flesh and company have to battle. One of them, the final monster, was actually voiced by Craig T. Nelson.

 

 

 

 

IMDb Video: Flesh Gordon

A Boy and His Dog

 

This is a post-apocalyptic tale in which the earth's surface has been devastated by nuclear war, and the few survivors who remain above ground must forage and fight for food, ammunition, and women. Of these necessities, women are the rarest finds; as explained in the movie, most survivors are male because while the males were off fighting the war, their leaders bombed their enemies' cities and destroyed their homes. ...

The Ninth Configuration

A Great Metaphysical Tragicomedy

 

It's rare to find five films that offer as much combined intelligence, passion, visceral excitement, and uncontrolled belly laughs as this. "The Ninth Configuration" is the sort of film people either love or hate. Like many great works of art, it doesn't settle into any middle ground. It's my all-time favorite movie, not perfect but a real screen miracle all the same. This is the sort of movie they don't make any more, because they never really made anything like this. Just this one time. For that, and much else, it is unique.
