BEGOTTEN (1991) directed by E. Elias Merhige. The director of Shadow of the Vampire entered the film world with this hard to find cult classic that punches you in the forehead within the first five minutes. Begotten is shot in grainy black and white and presents itself as an art film that creates a metaphor that may have a myriad of interpretations. God disembowels himself, Mother Earth gives birth to the Son of Earth and the beatings begin. If you haven't heard of this one, just trust me, it may bring you to better things.

BIBLE OF SKIN  An odd montage of imagery and distorted reality; a must for fans of the great Stan Brakhage.

CONSPIRACY OF HERESY (2 DVDs) This Ted Gunderson 4 hour lecture covers every conspiracy and adds more. His theories bake under the idea that the satanic illuminati controls all: election fixes, child slaves, and drug running. If your a fan of conspiracy theories, this will become your night light.

CHARLES MANSON INTERVIEWS and COURT PROCEEDINGS (2 DVDs) Tom Snyder interviews Manson along with other interviews and court room rants.

CHESTY ANDERSON U.S. NAVY (1976) Chesty Anderson films are exactly what you expect, just sexy women running around with all glands popping out, but this one has a cameo by Timothy Carey as a thug who clucks like a chicken.

The Cut Throats does a interesting job of mixing cowboy and WWII film motifs to make interesting plot twists and characters.

DARK MISSION (1988) Directed by Jess Franco & Starring Christopher Lee and Brigitte Lahaie. Franco directs this low-budget action film about secret agents, cocaine, and Cuba.

DEAD KENNEDY'S COMPILATION See Jello Biafra run around ranting about politics and see Jello play live with the great Dead Kennedys.

DECODER (1984) directed by Muscha. A man wants to fight against the muzak that accompanies his lunch at a local hamburger restaurant. This German cult classic uses cinematography, rhythmic editing, William Burroughs (who is clearly an inspiration to the filmmakers), and stock riot footage to create a film that puts you inside the figurative language of the script. A film that truly calls for multiple viewings and thoughts.

Desire and self-respect, aging and failure play out in both encounters. Suzanne and Doris look for lessons learned, and an unlikely friendship evolves.

DU-BEAT-E-O (1984) An in debt filmmaker forces people at gunpoint to help him finish his film in this unprecedented look at the raw underside of the LA punk scene. Joan Jett performs in the revamping of the punk scene--truly an obscure piece of trash.

EAT the DOCUMENT (1972) This film was originally intended to be a concert film for television, but was re-edited by Dylan to include backstage footage, private jam sessions, and sight-seeing in the cities of the tour. Presented without narration, it is a rather incomprehensible film, but it does capture the hectic and tedious feeling of the life of a musician on the road. A definate "must-see" for hardcore fans of Bob Dylan, his work, and his history. Also included: Cab ride with John Lennon and Bob Dylan, Footage from a television special (late 60's?) with a very young Bob Dylan  playing two solo tunes, and one duet with Johnny Cash. Studio outtake footage with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, Television  news special about Dylan and his career, with interviews (post-Live Aid)

EXECUTIVE ACTION (1973) Starring Burt Lancaster. Before Oliver Stone's JFK, there was this little known jem from the 70s. A group of right wing businessmen and politicians get together to take back America by putting together an operation that will assissinate John F. Kennedy. This film was so controversial that it actually disappeared; someone didn't want these ideas floating around. Eventually the film was slowly leaked out. A must see for the conspiracy fiends.

THE FINISHING SCHOOL (1969) Known as the precursor to Suspiria, The Finishing School is about a woman who owns a school for young girls; through secret teachings, the girls become accustomed to sex, lesbianism, and torture.

FORCED IMPACT (1975) A completely bad ass cop movie from Italy. A cop is fed up with the way criminals just seep through the law and decides to be ruthless in his fight, but he is kicked off the force to become even worse.

FORKLIFT DRIVER KLAUS (2000) No Subtitles. This German made, Evil Dead camera worked instructional video for forklift drivers is as gory as it comes.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH (1956) Directed by Orson Welles. A scientist finds the key to eternal youth and tricks a young couple into fighting over it. This made for television short incorporates photographs and Welles' brilliant style into an excellent experience.

JOHN FRUSCIANTE INTERVIEW PLUS LIVE KENTUCKY 1997/ ELECTRIC SET Before Frusciante cleaned himself from heroin, there was an interview by a Danish film crew that captured the broken shell of a man close to death. An interesting study on Frusciante and drug abuse. The tape also contains and outdoor live set and an electric set with the bass player from Fishbone.

FUN (1994) Starring Alicia Witt. Two young girls get together, eat ice cream, and kill and old woman. A great art film that asks the audience to sympathize with the beasts.

The only footage that exists is this: silent 8mm footage that has now been synced up with live soundtrack and photos. A must for fans of early Genesis--the only Genesis.

GENESIS MIDNIGHT SPECIAL 1974 /OXFORD 1973 Before Genesis became a household ipecac, they were an art rock band with great complexity in their music. Peter Gabriel was the singer and everything about his performances were odd. This collection has a TV show, a live concert, and one other performance. This is an excellent introduction to early Genesis.

GIGGLESNORT HOTEL Goofy TV show from the early 80s. complete with scale models and puppets. Supposedly canned because it was too frightening and odd for kids. 

THE GONG SHOW MOVIE (1980) The Gong Show movie is different because it is not what you expect: it actually follows the creator of the show and tries to give viewers the life of a man trying to keep the integrity of the show and the censors off of his back. The film is not a documentary, but it doesn't seem far from the truth.

GONZO VOL. 1 HUNTER S. THOMPSON assorted interviews: from Letterman to Conan and c-span to charlie rose, these tapes have hours of the great Dr. Gonzo's wit and bitterness.

GONZO VOL 2 Same thing as above, but the last Charlie Rose interview of the tape cuts off towards the end.

PETER GREENAWAY'S SHORT FILMS Three Greenaway shorts on one DVD: Dear Phone, Water Wrackets, and A Walk Through H.

GRIM REAPER/ 39 STRIPES (1976/ 1979) Two films by Ormond and Pirkle, the men who brought you the Christian scare classics If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? and The Burning Hell (Available here at Truegore Vintage DVD). A race car driving kid, who refuses to go to church, ends up chewed up on the track. The rest of the movie is the torment of him in hell and his family having to listen to Estus talk endlessly about it! 39 Stripes is essentially the same flick but with bikers! Loads of cheap gore, tawdry monsters and Christian propaganda that will make your jaw drop! Religion doesn’t get any funnier than this blood drenched series.

HWY: AN AMERICAN PASTORAL (196?) Jim Morrison can describe his film better than I can: "It's more  poetic, more of an exercise for me, kind of a warm-up. Essentially there's no plot, no story in the traditional sense...A person, played by me, comes down out of the mountains and hitchhikes his way through the desert. We don't see it, but we later assume that he stole a car and he drives into the city and it just ends there. He checks into a hotel and goes out to a nightclub or something. It just kind of ends like that...and when the musics over, turn off the lights...it is a very beautiful film.

HELLZAPOPPIN (1941) Olsen and Johnson star in this live action, experimental cartoon of slapstick and surrealism. This film could be a cold stab at the studio system and clichés beginning to capture Hollywood in the 1940s. Nothing compares to the genius of The Marx Brothers, but Hellzapoppin may come close. It's great to see American film experiments in the 1940s, and this is absolutely an experimental film with meaning beyond the jokes.

HOME MOVIES (1980) Directed by Brian De Palma. A ball of nonsense that actually amounts to something. A young boy documents his family life and gets tips form "The Maestro," Kirk Douglas."

HOTEL ROOM  (1993) Directed by David Lynch/ Starring Crispin Glover.  The lives of people are chronicled from 1932-1993 in this made for television series by David Lynch.

THE IMMORTAL ONE (1980) A high class, call girl loses her memory after a car accident and has to rediscover herself.

THE INCIDENT (1967) Starring Martin Sheen and Donna Mills. A group of young thugs terrorize the subways with racism and hate. The scenes of attacks on innocent people are disturbing and violent; this added with the realism of the film, makes The Incident a difficult one to get out of your head.

INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY NO. 1: THE DREAM OF THE BROKEN HEARTED (1990) Directed by David Lynch. An odd opera of sorts from the surreal mind of David Lynch.

ISLAND WOMEN (1979) Starring Brigitte Lahaie.

JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN (1971) A young man loses his arms and legs in WWI; he doesn't know if he is asleep or dreaming, dead or alive. He soon figures out how to communicate with his doctors to make them executioners. This is the movie Metalica turned into a rock video.

KILL EUGENE CHADBOURNE This is an outsider art goof ball, for fans of Chadbourne.

KHOONI MURDAA INDIAN NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1989) NO SUBTITLES. Cheap as hell Indian version of Nightmare on Elm Street--lay down the plastic coverings.

BOB LARSON HALLOWEEN SPECIAL What an amusing lunatic. Watch a satanist call a radio show and discuss his newborn child; Bob then begins to pray for the baby; the satanists begins to get angry, saying, "Don't pray for my baby." I don't know why, but it's counterproductive hilarity. There is also a gay man who gets exorcised by Bob; it is so obvious the man is an actor, or a bad actor. Either way this program is the comedy we have been looking for, folks.

LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN (1976)  Directed by Ruggero Deodato.  The director of Cannibal Holocaust  creates a violent cop film with two hard asses that are ruthless on the job.  The film opens with two purse snatchers dragging a woman along the sidewalk by her purse straps; to get the purse, one of the snatchers gets off the bike to kick the woman in the head.  Incredible amounts of action and violence make this a must for fans of  Dirty Harry or Charles Bronson.

MAD MAGAZINE TV SPECIAL (1975) This animated half-hour program was developed in the true spirit of Mad Magazine, with skits featuring characters from the magazine, as well  as satirical skits about popular programming of the day. Just like watching an issue of the magazine on your TV set!

MAGMA COMPILATION Excellent collection of the great band that made up their own language and created a science fiction, epic sound that only they can produce. This collection is filled with live footage.

MURDER IN A BLUE WORLD (1973) Brutal savagery in a future world. A twisted and violent flamboyance of a futuristic biker film. This film is a European attempt at Clockwork Orange; of course, it doesn't work, but the ride is still entertaining.

MY BEST FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY (1987) plus WHO DO YOU THINK YOUR FOOLING? plus the sequel. Quintan Tarantino's first film plus the film that exposes his plagiarism in Reservoir Dogs.

NIGHT OF THE STRANGLER (1972) You may want to watch this film because it stars Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees, but even if you hate The Monkees, this film is worth a watch because it is a controversial thriller. A racially diverse couple are murdered and the girl's brothers try to figure out the disturbing mystery.

NIRVANA (1997) Starring Christopher Lambert. A successful video game designer discovers that his recent creation has a dangerous virus within it. The main character of the game has achieved consciousness and begs for its own execution.

PINK ANGELS (1971) Catch the Pink Angels ... if you can! This gay motorcycle film has a certain surreal quality to it. Did I mention it's a 1970's gay biker flick?

Along the journey through absolutely beautiful Northwest woods, Hawk, his grandfather, and girlfriend must face attacks from both spirit and flesh foes. An exciting and sometimes rather spooky road-trip.

SHELF LIFE (1993) Locked in a bomb shelter, three people act out odd, surreal skits from familiar dramas.

SUICIDE CULT (1975) A scientist thinks he may have figured out when the second coming of Christ will occur, but he somehow gets involved in a psychedlic cult bent on offing themselves. An obscure seventies flick.

SUPERSTAR: THE KAREN CARPENTER STORY (1987) The sick twisted story of Karen Carpenter's battle with anorexia and becoming the pop icon of the 1970s; oh yeah, the film is done with stop motioned Barbie dolls.

TALES FROM THE QUADEAD ZONE (1987) The guy who brought us the hilarious atrocity The Black Devil Doll from Hell did it again with this beyond belief horror anthology. If cream corn was bad horror, this would be the 88 cents a can stuff. Shirley reads horror stories to her dead son, a zombie clown from hell makes an appearance, Shirley kills her boyfriend, and the cops enter the scene with bloody horror behind their back.

A TASTE OF EVIL (1971) A woman is raped, and after her stay in an insane asylum, she begins to realize that someone is trying to drive her further into insanity. Great suspense fills this made for TV movie with jump up scare moments.

The aliens concoct a plan to kidnap the group and take them up to space to record some of their catchy pop tunes. An alien record deal?? Couldn't be worse than today's music industry. Don't be frightened- this film is not that bad. Of course, it's more novelty than anything else. The reasons to watch are: the utterly bizarre but strangely catchy early synth-pop tunes, the lovely Olivia, and swinging 60s London. The aliens are pretty funny, too. If you're looking for golden cinema, then you may as well pass on this one. Strangely unavailable on video, this is quite rare. This is a 2.35:1 Widescreen transfer and not so bad considering.

THE TULSE LUPER SUITCASES (2003) Directed by Peter Greenaway. We follow Tulse Luper in three distinct episodes: as a child during the first World War, as an explorer in Mormon Utah, and as a writer in Belgium during the rise of fascism. Packed with stylistic flourishes, it's a dense, comic study of 20th century history, revolving around the contents of one man's suitcases. The narrative structure and visual syntax of this film is mesmerizing and completely original; you've seen nothing like The Tulse Luper Suitcases.

TV TOY COMMERCIALS This is an awesome collection of toy commercials; from sci-fi playsets, Gi Joe, and giant monsters, it's really great to see how they used to try and create these great illusions of plastic.

TOM WAITS BIG TIME (1988) Excellent live performance film during Tom Waits's album Rain Dogs.

WHAT? aka Diary of Forbidden Dreams (1973)  Directed by and Starring Roman Polanski with Marcello Mastroianni. After a young girl is nearly raped by seedy Italians, she enters a world filled with strange characters and odd situations. Parallels to Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass make this film an interesting allegory.  Marcello Mastroianni is excellent as a sexually deviant monster.

WILD SIDE DIRECTOR'S CUT (1995) Directed by Donald Cammel. While Bruno (Christopher Walken) is an international money mover and influence peddler and Virginia (Joan Chen) is his very beautiful wife. His sexual appetite requires the services of banker and part-time hooker Alex (Anne Heche). Its love at first sight. But, who are the lovers? This is how Cammel wanted the film to be, and his long time friend and editor Frank Mazzola put together Wild Side the way he felt the director would have wanted, before the studio high jacked the film.

WIND FROM THE EAST (1970) Jean-Luc Godard. This rant on the West with illustrations of political crime is for the times in which it was set. English and French dialogue run simultaneously. For the Godard completist.

WOHI BHAYAAK RAAT BALI FRIGHT NIGHT REMAKE NO SUBTITLES. In the tradition of great foreign remakes, but this one is not only Fright Night, but it's Fright Night: The Musical.

WORST OF THE WORST SHOW 1 A public access show like no other. These guys do anything to annoy people and the viewers. If your sick of politically correct comedy, The Worst Show is for you.

WORST OF THE WORST SHOW 2 Probably the best one of the pair because the leader of the show produced a suicide sketch that caused a huge controversy; needless to say, they cover the whole debacle on this edition (among other Worst Show insulting humor).

XXX TRIPPING A discussion of magic through the eyes of artists and magicians. Comic book god Alan Moore speaks about magic and his work on From Hell; this alone is worth the price of admission, folks.

NEIL YOUNG: YESTERYEAR OF THE HORSE If you know that "Cortez the Killer" is one the best rock guitar songs ever written, than you naturally want to see that shit live; well, here it is, along with other great Crazyhorse songs.

ZEBRA KILLER (1974) Lt. Savage is on the hunt for a maniac that has decided to dress up like a black man and go on a rape and murder spree. A violent and controversial film of its time, and probably still a bit salty.
