1. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

1965, not on the list. I need to see that one day before I die.

2. You'n me both

In fact, I'd like to see every film Russ Meyer ever made. :D

18. That's actually a really GOOD film

I rented it about 15 years ago because I thought it would be awful in a campy way. But it turned out to be gripping and exciting with a script full of witty double-entendres. It's now a bonafide cult classic, and I've even heard a scary rumor that Quentin Tarantino may direct a remake of it. I kneel and pray every day that someone will stop him from doing that. The original is fine just as it is, like the original Psycho is. Some of the acting is amateurish but some of the actors are excellent. It's the best action film I've seen - surpassing in quality quite a few $100 million budget Hollywood action films.

3. I really miss that and Monstervision.

God I loved Friday and Saturday nights back in the 80s and 90s.

:(

4. No Russ Meyer?????

:weep:

11. By the time you get done editing a Russ Meyer film for public airwaves...

you're left with the credits and about three lines of dialog.

12. Russ Meyer's films are on TV here. Really.

I _love_ Russ Meyer and find his work funny and campy, not at all offensive. And his film titles are _hysterical_! :rofl:

19. Except that "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill" has no frontal nudity and no sex.

Plenty of violence, sure, but as far as nudity there are only a couple of brief shots from behind, and only a couple of almost-sex scenes (that would turn into sex scenes but are interrupted by plot twists). It could easily be shown on broadcast TV today without any editing at all. Not even any "dirty words" though there are plenty of double-entendres.

17. I missed that one!

My husband introduced me to Russ Meyer a few years ago; I'm now a devoted and giggly fan. :rofl:

21. I met Russ Meyer when I first moved to Los Angeles.

I was working for a movie director and had to pick up some scripts at a copy/printing place.

There was a guy standing next to me, and we started chatting. He introduced himself to me, and then pulled out some photos and said, "Hey, want to see the star of my next movie?". He showed me the photos, and of course it was a woman with huge breasts. It was Russ Meyer I had been chatting with, but I had no idea who he was.

I went back to the office and told one of the guys who I met and he was floored. He said, "You met Russ Meyer? You're in Los Angeles for one month and you've already met Russ Meyer??!"

Pretty cool...

5. Practically most of them.

It was a highlight of my teen years to watch those. I don't know why. I still enjoy the worst ones to this day too. There is just something very comforting to me about many of those movies.

6. I'm sure I saw most of them too. I especially remember Motel Hell with Rory Calhoun

"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters"! And who could forget Rhonda Shear? :loveya:

7. Not me

To bad she didn't do her show naked :hide:

8. Up All Night used to be the shit way back when

Satan's Cheerleaders was the greatest!

[baldguy]

9. I would dispute the listing of "The 'Burbs" as a really bad film.

[LynneSin]

10. I love "Ski School" - one of my favorite really bad movies

It was available (uncut) as a free movie On-Demand and I watched it TWICE!

I think Dean Cameron is an underrated actor of his time. Unfortunately I don't think he does much acting these days but I've read where he is a pretty serious Libertarian. He invented a Bill-of-Rights gadget that trips Airline Security Checks which means the people searching you and your stuff will actually have to look at it when the alarm goes off. He also put together a comedy skit based on his correspondence with one of those Nigerian Email scammers.

15. Thanks. I was wondering what happened to Dean Cameron

He brightened many a B comedy of the late '80s and early '90s (Summer School, Rockula, Men At Work).

13. Those were the days man.

Cheap horror, wrestling, Music Television, Home Box Office, it didn't get any better as a kid from the 80's.

16. TiVo recorded "Gimme an F" for me. Definitely deserved at least an F, if not a Z,

I hate movies and tv shows that make cheering/cheerleaders look stupid. x(

20. Quite a few

22. Pretty good show.........
