THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL
Fact: everything you’ve heard about this, the notorious STAR WARS Christmas TV Special, is true
SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY
Holiday movie imbecility from the Florida underground
THE WOLF HOUSE
Quite simply the state of the art in visionary animation, a feature-length Chilean reverie that in strangeness and invention can stand alongside the early work of David Lynch
DARK (2017)
This is the closest thing that exists to a director’s cut of Paul Schrader’s DYING OF THE LIGHT (2014)
DESPAIR
This 1978 film was apparently an attempt at “commercial filmmaking” by Germany’s late Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945-1982)
VAMPIRE (1979)
Another of those terrific ABC TV movies—actually the pilot for a never-made series—that went largely unappreciated in its day
JEANS BLUES: NO FUTURE
Japanese “Pinky violence” from 1974 that’s said to have been inspired by BONNIE AND CLYDE
CALAMITY OF SNAKES
This Hong Kong monstrosity may be the ultimate killer snake movie
ROBOT
A prime example of Kollywood, or Tamil, movie madness that plays like some unholy combination of THE TERMINATOR, ROBOCOP and I, ROBOT
AOOM
A weirder-than-average 1970 feature by Spain’s Gonzalo Suarez that marks a worthy addition to a distinguished filmography
