batman (1966)

AKA Batman: The Movie
"Penguin, Joker, Riddler... and Catwoman, too! The sum of the angles of that rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate!"
Batman (Adam West)
and Robin (Burt Ward) are called out to rescue a ship unaware that they are being lured into a trap set by four of Batman's most feared foes. The Catwoman (Lee Meriweather), The Joker (Cesar Romero), The Penguin (Burgess Meredith) and The Riddler (Frank Gorshin) are working together to try and take over the world once and for all and have set their sights on the United World Security Council in order to do so. Can the dynamic duo save themselves and the world from their despicable plan?
A movie offshoot of the successful TV series, this combines the camp cartoon adventures with a greater budget to good effect. Sit back and remember a time when Batman was fun and not a psychotic full of neuroses! As Robin says its a "Holy costumed party!"

fathom (1967)

Fathom Harvill (Raquel Welsh), is the title character in this enjoyable and light, breezy, and comic film. She's a skydiver, touring Europe, who is recruited by a British secret agency to recover the Firedragon, which she is told is a hydrogen bomb trigger. The only problem is that there are other agents also aiming to recover this item. There follows a whole lot of cross and double cross, where no-one is who they seem, and Raquel gets to wear a whole load of revealing outfits.
An entertainingly light spy spoof, with suitably breezy soundtrack. Great as long as you're not looking for anything too heavy, and you have an eye for a fine female form!
