Poor Pretty Eddie (1975)
It’s rare that I watch a movie that gets on the very verge of upsetting me. Poor Pretty Eddie is that rare film that pushed me pretty far and made me feel somewhat upset for watching it, which ended up making me keep going and enjoying the end results. It’s not an easy watch, but […]
Nashville Girl (1976)
I discovered this movie thanks to Joe Bob Briggs’ How Rednecks Saved Hollywood presentation. The clips he showed were absolutely astounding and there was no way that the actual movie could live up to his speech about the film, right? Nope. This is one sordid piece of scummy moviemaking that does all that and more. Director Gus […]
Moonrunners (1975)
Moonrunners is one of the earliest celluloid responses to the massive box office generated by Burt Reynolds’s White Lightning (1973)—and was filmed in 1973 in the wake of that film. Over the years, Reynolds applauded White Lightning as being one of the best of his career and reasoned White Lightning’s success was the result of […]
Hunter’s Blood (1986)
In the post-Halloween slasher universe, dentists and podiatrists who wanted to become “film producers” realized all you needed to make a movie was a patch of woods, well-endowed amateur females with a good set of pipes for screaming (and racks for gawkin’), and some guys with ironically bad dental work and gnarly bare feet with […]
Sweet Georgia (1972)
Marsha Jordan (Count Yorga, The Toy Box) is Sweet Georgia, the sexed up wife of rancher Big T (Gene Drew, Truck Stop Women, Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw), an abusive drunk who she denies carnal pleasure, instead finding it in the arms of ranchhand Cal and even the arms of her stepdaughter Virginia (Barbara Mills, who also used […]
Smokey and the Good Time Outlaws (1978)
Imagine if Jimmy McNichol’s Roscoe Wilton from Smokey Bites the Dust was a musician in search of a recording contract. . . . Wait, even better. How about Burt Reynolds’s Bo “Bandit” Darville from Smokey and the Bandit having aspirations to make it as a singer on the stage of the Grand Ol’ Opry? Yuuuuup! […]
Hicksploitation: The Top 70 Good Ol’ Boys Film List – A collection of down-home films produced from 1972 to 1986
As the reviews begin to roll out for B&S Movies’ “Redneck Week” July spotlight, you’ll notice there’s a lot of fun being made at the expense of a rich, colorful culture that exists south of the Mason-Dixie line—not just by the filmmakers, but by the reviewers as well, especially me: the smarmy, he-thinks-he’s-so-funny, R.D Francis. […]
Moonshine Mountain (1964)
After the success of his gore epics, Blood Feast and Two Thousand Maniacs!, Herschell Gordon Lewis made this, the first of several country fried films. But just because this is supposed to be a sexy comedy romp doesn’t mean that Lewis won’t hit us with plenty of strangeness and lots of the red stuff. Charles Glore, […]
So we got inspired by How Rednecks Saved Hollywood…
Since getting inspired by Joe Bob Briggs’ How Rednecks Saved Hollywood live show, I’ve been trying to cover as many of the movies that he showed — as well as others that fit the genre — on the site. We’ll be continuing with at least another week of Southern fried drive-in films, but I wanted to […]
Godmonster of Indian Flats (1973)
Before he made his first movie — Troika — in 1969, Frederic Hobbs was an artist who went from the traditional to a whole way of presenting art, creating parade sculptures that took art from the museum to the people. That’s when he figured it out — to get the people to see something as […]
