![]() ![]() A totally weird pseudo social message film with fantastic trips scenes.ĥ-ABBY. This film gets my "so bad its great" award. ![]() I saw this with Tom Joad the night we met Harry at QT 2, and I've never been the same since. Deadwood fans will love the disturbed performance from a very young William Sanderson.Ĥ-GHETTO FREAKS. Absolutely the most kickass home invasion flick I've ever seen with a great twist on racial stereotypes. The original "Don't"-the trailer has the announcer saying "Torso!" over and over. Where to begin.ġ-THE MUTHERS, of course! I have a soft spot for women in prison movies and this blaxploitation/WIP/pirate (I shit you not) masterpiece is a crowd pleaser every time. I wouldn't say this is my TOP ten (I hate picking favorites), but merely a sampling of some of the best I've seen so far. I had no idea at the time that I was receiving the best cinematic education of my life! By the time we met Harry at the all-night exploitation marathon at QT 2, I was already completely hooked and have been ever since. Each week he warped my mind with a new batch of ridiculously bad quality VHS tapes he received in the mail from the various magazines and catalogs he tirelessly searched for new and crazy titles. My experience with the genre began when I met Tom Joad my freshman year of college. Growing up in small town Oklahoma didn't give me much exposure to Grindhouse cinema. Oh yes, Girls do love these films! You better fucking believe it! Hey Harry-here's my two cents. Now - let's kick this fucker off with Annette Kellerman, whom I met as a young, hot college gal that was grinding it out to her own particular love of the Grindhouse. This should be taken as a forum of discovery and celebration for a beloved film geek period between the sixties and the early eighties. or at special screenings that you may have attended. If you're too young for that, what have you discovered on DVD and Home Video. If you're old enough to remember the time period - share your Grindhouse faves. I'm also going to ask you talkbackers to try to take part. And at the very end of this article - which will be posted - INCOMPLETE - as more and more from the AICN crew send their in. What I have here are some of AICN's Regulars - along with a pair of the Alamo Drafthouse's GRINDHOUSE programming, booking and print finding finest you'll ever find. There's been an awful lot of GRINDHOUSE headlines and titles over the past few weeks and month - but I've been getting an awful lot of letters from folks that are new to this multi-genre classic period of anything goes cinema. ![]()
