Not Quite Hollywood Checklists

I don't know about anyone else, but Mark Hartley's documentary Not Quite Hollywood has made me go a bit Ozploitation crazy lately. I'm just generally not fond of raunchy sex comedies, but I've been ticking off quite a few from the action and horror sections lately (though I had seen a good chunk already).

Here's my list so far (not including the obvious, like Mad Max or the newer films like Undead):
Dark Age (1987): The doc is correct in that it's a great film hampered by a bad croc effect. One of the best.
Fair Game (1986): A play on the I Spit on Your Grave formula, which I actually liked more than the source. Not as rapey, and it gets really gets the blood boiling anyway.
Harlequin (1980): Understated, but effectively oddball.
Howling III (1987): So strange it's almost worth a recommendation.
Patrick (1978): Frankly, kind of dull, with good bits scattered over it.
Razorback (1984): Artful and exciting.
Stone (1974): Definitely worth seeing
Strange Behavior (1981): Above average, with a handful of really great scenes.
Thirst (1979): A largely original vampire movie. Worth seeing for how strange it is.
Turkey Shoot (aka: Escape 2000, 1982): Brilliant exploitation mess!

Next of Kin (1982): Takes its time, but features a strong last act, and some really artful touches.

Dead End Drive-In, Lost Weekend and Road Games are some of the few available on R1 DVD that I haven't seen yet.

Nightmares (1980): The movies sells it as a slasher rip-off, but it's just as much a rip-off of Italian Gialli. Not a good movie, but perfectly odd. The gore isn't that graphic, more like lots of fake blood slathered on the actors, but there's a lot of nudity.

Chain Reaction (1979): Slightly disappointing as an action movie, but the car chases are strong, and the story and characters are more complex than the subgenre norm.

I just found a copy of Road Games, but the used place knew it was out of print, so it was $25. Back to Netflix I guess.

Rene it is Stage Fright, indeed, that's even the title the print I watched had on it. It doesn't have much in common with Soavi's film though, I think that it was trying to be Tenebre and Opera over everything else.

And Patrick Still Lives is, indeed, uber-sleaze.

I saw a used copy of Road Games the other day. IT WAS $30!!

Fair Game. It was pretty good. Basically it's I Spit On Your Grave minus rape, plus poaching and women tied to trucks naked.

Just watched Lady, Stay Dead. It's not worth a whole lot, and plays a lot off stuff like Maniac, and other disturbing films where out protagonist is a psycho killer.

Just finished my review copy of Severin's BMX Bandits Blu-ray. Not a great movie, but it features gorgeous photography, and some really clever dialog. The Blu-ray looks way better than expected too. Severin needs to stick to this whole Blu-ray thing, they keep defying expectations.
