    • Wow cheers for all the great recommendations people, I'll be checking loads of these out. Two really strange trippy films: first, L'urlo (the Howl) 1968 (make sure you look up the Tinto Brass one) featuring the lovely Tina Aumont http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJQRdx1PJHY

      And second, Hausu, (House) 1977, there used to be a killer clip on youtube where a girl gets eaten by a lampshade and sucked into a kind of animated psychedelic world but I can only assume it got taken down. Also look out for a piano eats fingers scene.. again, was once on youtube but now I can't find it..

    • .........AND ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE 5 SUBPLOTS WITHIN THE MAIN FRAME OF  THE STORY , AND INVOLVES HACKED OFF LIMBS FOR THE MAD SCIENTIST BLACK MARKET......  I HAD TO WATCH IT A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE I REALLY LIKED IT , BECAUSE THE EDITING WAS KINDS HERKY JERKY "WHAT DOES THIS SCENE HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?"....BUT ANY MOVIE , EVEN THE ''TITANTIC" WOULD HAVE BEEN IMMINENTLY MORE WATCHABLE WITH VINCENT PRICE , PETER CUSHING AND CHRISTOPHER LEE....

    • Cool. I don't think I've seen it but I can kind of picture the car thing, it does sound very familiar.

    • Well worth seeing as long as it's not the sanitized TV version. It's got a fab theme song by Amen Corner too.

    • No, I never even heard of that one.

    • Maybe someone here can help me out with this.  I can recall watching the first half hour or so of a movie which I believe was titled "The Mark of Death."  It started off with a scene of two people running across a field, and they had bandages wrapped around their heads.  They appeared to be escaping from some place, and they were chased by some evil looking men in a car that was equipped with a large blade that popped out of the side of the car.  Apparently the two escapees were cut in half by that blade.  The scene then switches to a London club, where a songwriter is bitching about bands ripping off his songs, which leads to him getting punched in the mouth by a band member.  His friends suggest that he take a holiday in the country side, so he takes a train, and he meets a pretty young girl (wearing a mini skirt and boots) on that train.  For whatever reason, I wasn't able to watch the rest of the movie.  I'm trying to find out more about it, but the title that I remember isn't helping me very much, so now I'm wondering if I remember it wrong.  I described that scene in the hope that it will jog someone else's memory.

    • You should read the book:)  It has a lot of great backstories for the characters.  You'll also learn about how Don Vito took on Al Capone and kicked his ass.

    • So many weird memories of laying around the house as a kid and watching the Munsters. I do specifically remember that Hot Rod Herman episode as well.

    • You're absolutely right , Howie. "The Mask" had the best 3-D EFFECTS AND SURREAL , HORRIFFC IMAGERY OF ANY REVIVED 3-D FILM IN THE 80'S. Rhino released it on video in the 80's , too , and the 3-D is still stunning. Especially when the hands come out of the screen and shoot fire !   iT'S ARGUABLY MORE EFFECTIVE , TOO , THAT THE WHOLE MOVIE WAS NOT IN 3-D , JUST THE VERY EARLY TRIP SEQUENCES. "PUT....THE MASK ....ON !!".

    • let's not forget the wonder black & white psychedelic nightmare ride, The Mask!!! Also shown on TV in 3D in the 80's...almost every frame a masterpiece of surreal photography...(yay!)

    • Nero , No , I'm not familiar with that one , though "Star Wars" cash-in attempts were as ubiquitous in the Late 70's - Early 80's as terrible music on the radio (England , for one, largely excluded , though I'm sure you had your fill , in and amongst all the stuff that NEVER got played , here. ). 1983? You don't say. Had Molly Ringwald even done "16 Candles " or "The Breakfast Club" by then? I don't remember....  What's funny about that ad is ,A) They claim it's the first Sci Fi /Space Adventure film in 3-D. "Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth"and even "It Came From Outer Space " (If you want to bend the rules a bit) had 20 to 30 years on it . No matter. and B) THEY DID'NT POINT OUT , THAT IN ORDER TO VIEW THE TRAILER IN 3-D , YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO STARE AT THE IMAGE IN THE CENTER , CROSS - EYED , UNTIL THE THREE BECOME ALIGNED. It's a strain on the eye muscles , BUT , RELATIVELY EASY TO DO.....

      I HAVE'NT SEEN ANY NEW 3-D films....I remember when color films required grey tinted glasses , and B&W ones required the classic red and blue/green glasses , which were safe to wear outdoors , but the grey glasses could permanently fuck up your eyes , when exposed to the sun.
