Scarecrow Video isn’t just a video store. It’s a landmark for all we love about movies. Each year, they do a month-long challenge to get people to stretch out and watch some movies they’ve never seen before. Check out my lists for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. This is the ninth […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Family Sins was on the CBS Late Movie on April 21, 1988. Directed by Jerrold Freedman (who used the Alan Smithee alias to direct The O.J. Simpson Story; he also directed the Bronson movie Borderline and Kansas City Bomber), written by George Rubino (Rage!, The Last Tenant) and originally broadcast on October 25, 1987, on CBS, […]
Week 13 (Sept 13 – 19) – Cult Movies: Oh, you thought I meant the other kind of cult movies? Sacrifices to the gods of entertainment must be made, so hop up on the altar! Man, Timothy Carey. He started off in Billy Wilder’s Ace in the Hole and became known for his roles in two Stanley […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Phantom of the Opera was on the CBS Late Movie on October 18, 1985. Long before Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical cemented the story as a sweeping romantic melodrama, television producer Robert Halmi produced this unique adaptation. Translocating the classic Gaston Leroux narrative from turn-of-the-century Paris to Budapest, this 1983 television movie stands as one of […]
If you like your regional independent cinema soaked through with Spanish moss, country music royalty and wild plot swerves that hit you harder than a cottonmouth in a pirogue, then Donald A. Davis’s Swamp Girl is for you. Shot on location in Georgia with the official blessing of the Okefenokee Swamp Park, this oddity is […]
If it weren’t for the book Teen Movie Hell, I would never have discovered this film. I feel like my life is infinitely better for watching this movie, which surprised me every step of the way with how far it was willing to go. Every time I thought that it had reached the limit, it climbed […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Blockhouse was on the CBS Late Movie on November 25, 1981. On D-Day, a mixed group of forced laborers being held by German forces takes shelter from the bombardment inside a bunker, which gets blocked in by a bombing run. They have enough food to last for years, and it turns out they’re trapped there […]
This is a vansploitation movie. Yes, that’s really a genre and there are several films in it, of which I can name Blue Summer, The Van (obviously), Best Friends, C.B. Hustlers (which has Uschi Digard in it), Mag Wheels, Van Nuys Blvd. and I guess you could almost count On the Air Live with Captain Midnight. There’s a great article […]
I can’t find this movie anywhere, so shout-out to the incredible Temple of Schlock for all they’ve posted. The 3-D softcore film The Stewardesses became the sixth highest-grossing film of 1971 and one of the most successful independent movies of all time. More importantly, it briefly revived the format by proving 3-D could actually make […]
