More of my favorite semi-obscure movies

Here are some more from my collection that you should check out. Most of these I have on dvd, and might be able to burn anyone a copy, if you want one.

1. Eating Raoul- Starring Mary Waronov and Paul Bartel. A dark comedy about a couple who kill people who.... man, it's hard to describe. You should just check it out. More than likely on netflix. 4 stars.

2. Equinox- This actually was released on the Criterion Collection. Couldn't believe it when I found it! EXTREMELY low budget! HORRIBLE acting! Special effects that look like the director let his 6-year old handle it. DEFINITE 4 stars.

3. Tourist Trap- starring Chuck Connors (The Rifleman). He's a guy that runs a weird museum of sorts. He also makes mannequins that come to life. Also starring Tanya "Charlie's Angels" Roberts. Good stuff. Terrible. 4 stars.

4. Human Highway- Directed by Neil Young. Can't find it on dvd, but I have it on VHS. Weird beyond belief. The best part is Neil playing with Devo in a dream sequence. You GOTTA find this.

5. American Movie- A documentary about a couple of douchebags trying to make a low budget movie. The director borrows money from his relatives who are worse off financially than he is. All to make a terrible movie. Anyone who ever messed around trying to make a movie should watch this. I've heard that in some film classes in colleges, this is required viewing. You'll just shake your head. Great flick.

I'll do more later. Good luck!
