vixen! (1968)

"I know it's strange, but your body really turns me on!"
Vixen (Erica Gavin) is a sex maniac in rural Canada, who whilst getting it on with virtually everyone she can, but gets involved with some Vietnam draft dodgers and an IRA terrorist.
Meyer gives us broad comedy and a hint of some politics, but you're not watching for the plot are you, there are the usual large busted women to distract you from the lack of plot so that's ok then!

violent playground (1958)

"Just think what you're doing johnny."
The mean streets of Liverpool are patrolled by Detective Sgt. Jack Truman (Stanley Baker), a Juvenile Liaison officer. He then encounters a dangerous teengang leader in the form of Johnny (David McCallum) and tries to return him to the straight and narrow.
A moody and stark film that throws in an unnecessary love story and features fine performances by Stanley Baker Peter Cushing and David McCullum.

rumble fish (1983)

"If you're going to lead people, you have to have somewhere to go."
Rusty James (Matt Dillon), a hoodlum, tries to live up to his older brother's reputation. His brother, The motorcycle boy (Mickey Rourke), returns after an absense of a couple of months, but is distracted and not the same person that controlled the local gangs previously. Rusty struggles with life, as it falls apart, and he loses his friends, and his confidence.
One of those films where every frame seems to be perfect. Artwork as much as a piece of entertainment.

bill and ted's big adventure (1989)

"Party on dudes!"
Bill and Ted (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) are two slacker teenagers who have to pass their next history presentation, or Ted will be shipped off to military school. Luckily Rufus (George Carlin) turns up from the future and he gives them a time machine to help them collect various historical figures who can teach them.
A no brainer of a film, full on light entertainment, disengage your brain and sit back...

liquid sky (1982)

"I was taught that to be an actress, one should be fashionable, and to be fashionable is to be androgynous."
Invisible aliens arrive in New York looking for heroin and find that human pheromones created during orgasm are much better. They then take to stalking a model and her casual sex partners in order to obtain the chemicals.
A low budget sci-fi, that is full of new wave fashion, and lots of solarised psychedelic cinematography. This has lots of potential, but mainly squanders it.

the young girls of rochefort (1967)

AKA Les demoiselles de Rochefort.
"Life, joy and happiness."
Delphine and Solange Garnier (Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac) are twin sisters determined to leave the small town of Rochefort for the bright lights of Paris, but over the course of one weekend their lives are turned upsidedown.
A pastel shaded and candy coated musical about fate and love featuring the music of Michel Legrand and appearances by George Chakiris and Gene Kelly. A perpetually sunny film, (even when they find out one of their friends is a murderer it is laughed off), that cannot help but charm you with its amateurish homage to Hollywood musicals.

hound of the baskervilles (1959)

"The hounds! Let loose the pack!"
Sherlock Holmes (Peter Cushing) undertakes to protect the new Lord Baskerville (Christopher Lee) from the curse that has stalked his family for generations.
Hammer put their patented spin on the detective story, with Cushing and Lee giving their usual outstanding performances. A fine adaptation is the result.
