VAMP

VAMP, from 1986, is a sexy vampire comedy that predated similarly themed films like THE LOST BOYS and FROM DUSK TILL DAWN

BLUE VELVET

BLUE VELVET is one of most iconic “cult” movies of all time, and there’s an excellent reason for that.

BLUEBEARD

Remember the old folk tale about Bluebeard?  It seems unlikely material for a multi-million dollar spectacular, but that’s just what mega-producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind attempted with BLUEBEARD

BAXTER

An evil dog whose misanthropic thoughts are voiced on the soundtrack?  A deranged kid obsessed with Adolph Hitler?  This is by no means a perfect film, but it’s one you won’t soon forget! 

BATTLE HEATER

This beyond-ridiculous horror comedy would appear to be Japan’s answer to the Troma movies of the eighties

THE BAT WHISPERS

A silly mystery/comedy from 1930 that’s an absolute stunner from a photographic standpoint, with bold expressionistic visuals and wildly innovative camerawork.  It was also the alleged inspiration for Batman

BAD TASTE

Peter Jackson’s premiere film was this rude, crude and hilariously gross no-budget splatfest. It’s puerile, exploitive, stupid as shit, and (in my eyes at least) irresistible.

EXECUTIVE KOALA

Japanese director Minoru Kawasaki’s follow-up to his cult hit THE CALAMARI WRESTLER was this goofy 2005 psycho thriller about a businessman koala bear who may or may not be a murderer

EVIL DEAD II

A film as influential to the horror genre as any of the biggies (DRACULA, THE EXORCIST, etc.), Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN introduced a near-revolutionary mix of slapstick and horror

EVENINGS ON A FARM NEAR DIKANKA

A comedic and fantastic Russian adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s 1831 novella THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS that, despite its “classic” status in some quarters, is too antic and overwrought by far
