Peeping Tom (1960)

Peeping Tom (1960 - UK) directed by Michael Powell. Carl Boew as Mark Lewis, the voyeur, is brilliant, the psychological complexity of his character is amazing. But you can read more intersting blablabla on wikipedia or imdb.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A MUST SEE! (merci Simon!)

Trailers from Hell

TRAILERS FROM HELL is the creation of director Joe Dante and friends - a site that pairs up a nice variety of commentators with trailers for mostly sci-fi, horror and exploitation films. In addition to Joe himself, you can also hear from Edgar Wright (SHAUN OF THE DEAD), Eli Roth (HOSTEL), John Landis (THE BLUES BROTHERS), Jack HIll (FOXY BROWN) and many others wax on about cinema.
Click on the poster to head on over to TFH to view the trailer for TARANTULA, a fifties giant bug film starring a pair of B-film faithfuls John Agar and Mara Corday.

Jerry Reed (R.I.P.)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Jerry Reed, a singer who became a "good ol' boy" actor opposite Burt Reynolds in car chase movies like "Smoky and the Bandit," is dead at age 71, according to his longtime booking agent.

Carrie Moore-Reed, who is no relation to the star, says Reed died early Monday morning of complications from emphysema.

Reed was a gifted guitarist who later became a songwriter, singer and finally an actor.

As a singer in the 1970s and early 1980s, he had a string of hits that included "Amos Moses," ''When You're Hot, You're Hot," ''East Bound and Down," and "The Bird".


In the mid-1970s, he began acting in movies like "Smokey and the Bandit," ''Gator" ''Hot Stuff," ''High Ballin" (with Peter Fonda), "The Survivors" (with Walter Matthau), "BAT-21" (with Gene Hackman) and "W.W. and the Dixie Dance Kings."

Tarantino's Bambi Tragedy

Quentin Tarantino tells a story about the first time he heard the story of BAMBI at TCM.com - kinda tangentially related to all the "my first visit to the movies" posts, but really, tangentially....sorry no embed available:

"Mothers of America"

Otherwise known as Jesus Franco's The Girl From Rio (1969).

Where it's at... obviously.

"My first visit to the movies"

Hi!

2 years ago I invited people to sniff the vinyl of their favorite record.
The post (and the tales of the sniffers) turned out to be a very fun and interesting one.

Now I have invited friends and cool cats for a new assignemet.

What I wanted to hear about this time was: "My first visit to the movies"

I asked people to tell a little about their first (memorable) visit to a movie theater or cinema.

What film was it? Popcorn? Was there a trailer? Who were you going with? What did the theater look like? How were the seats? How was the smell? Were you scared? Did you have to leave for the restrooms in the middle of the show?

All these are questions they got to digest while searching their past.

First stories are in. Every single submission / story will get it's own entry.

All of the posted stories will be reached by clicking the label: "My first visit to the movies"

Let the posting begin - and let the curtains open!

Nightdreams

Clinton McClung's life changed forever after watching this clip for the first time. It's from an 1981 adult movie named Nightdreams. NSFW of course. It's a swinging breakfast at best. So wacko and wrong it's a great work of art. Blowjob alert! Craziness alert!

Here's the trailer for Nightdreams. Also as weird as ... anything! I think I must buy this movie. Like right away. I think my life changed too. Don't know if it's to the better though ...

Alberto B. Bembo - italian easy listening music from the 70's

Alberto B. Bembo - Io e Mara (1969) via THE UNKNOWN PLANET
" Another great work by Alberto B. Bembo, released on 1969. A album that smells of beach, daikiris, palms and a little erosticism of 70's. Mix percussion, electric bass, organ, and a wordless female voice in a haunting soundscape of sexy tracks with a totally unique feel. "

An obscure movie soundtrack, also from Alberto B. Bembo, Codice D'Amore Orientale(1974)

boomp3.com



" Splendid album by Alberto B. Bembo, with the participation of Blue Marvin Orchestra corresponding to the Codice d'Amore Orientale OST, film directed by Piero Vivarelli, in 1974. Unfortunately, the file is incomplete, and isn't available it first track “God is love”, that I've not found nowhere. On the same way, I've not found the original film nowhere (emule, torrent, etc…) after some weeks looking around. If somebody knows where I can find it, I'll very thank you. " Always via THE UNKNOWN PLANET

Thanks a lot Ed! for making all these obscure gems available for our listening pleasure.
