Fave trash/midnight movie

I'm Steve, newbie, just joined last night... I was not allowed to post yesterday (not too traumatic), so this is my first "official" post

Hi to everyone --

So my question is what's your fave midnight/freak/trash movie? (the best genre of all)--

2 faves here: Andy Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein & Showgirls

How bout you?

:hi:

This Island Earth. Oh, and the original Body Snatchers.

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show," baby! Saw it 537 times over an eleven-year period (1983-94).

you lost your life and sanity.

After 17 years of ostracism and alienation, I finally found a place where people actually liked me for who I was. For the first time, I began to suspect that maybe I wasn't such a horrible person after all.

I will always be grateful for the RHPS cult, without which I might very well be insane, or even dead, today!

Welcome. I always liked "Night of The Comet."

with Vincent Price.

....ok, maybe not really freaky, but sort of a b-cult classic of the outlaw/road movie genre.

Whatever happened to Barry Newman?

or 2000 Maniacs...both HG Lewis Grindhouse classics!

both high trash of the highest order

is fab -- but the uncensored version -- the rated r version is like only half as long

For high school western civ class? :)

education is a must

My fave is--Rocky Horror.
I know I'm soooo original but that movie still rocks.

hedwig & the angry inch is also amazing

I don't know why, but I just love that movie.

i like that too - michelle pfeiffer with the mr. potato head :)

two wonderful popcorn-and-beer, put yer feet up flicks!

popcorn & smoke or popcorn & shrooms or whatever else makes the film seem all that much more surreal

Though it didnt make Leonard Pinth-Garnell's list:

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057181/

I like the other titles it goes by (as listed on imdb):

Diabolical Dr. Voodoo (1967)
Incredibly Mixed Up Zombie, The (1967)
Incredibly Strange Creature: Or Why I Stopped Living and Became a Mixed-up Zombie, The (1967) (USA)
Teenage Psycho Meets Bloody Mary, The (1967)

there's no such thing as safe sex" -- nice tag line

:evilgrin:

Trust me...this is the weirdest movie ever:

http://www.opuszine.com/movies/review.html?reviewID=199

The Japanese kidnap Allied generals in WWII. One of the allied generals is Abraham Lincoln.

So the allies send a renegade soldier, an escape artist, a drunk old guy, a girl who shoots bazookas, an Elvis impersonator who's a crooked cop, and a pair of homoerotic army guys who were kilts and plate-mail.

On the way the "heros" fight Amazons led by a guy in a Tux, stay in a Scoobie-Doo haunted mansion (where one of them makes out with a dead chick), and fight mexican wrestlers riding on top of pimpmobile Cadillacs with swasticas painted on them.

It's gets a lot weirder than my explanation....it defies explanation.

For some reason I love that movie...I have it on VHS.

"Hopping undead corpses. Crazed Amazons. Ghosts who cheat at cards. Japanese Nazis who attack riding atop 1970s clunker cars. Stupid musical numbers. Abraham Lincoln as a World War II general."

It's actually on DVD too... now I'm interested

This movie has "beach boys", gigolos, rich middle-aged women looking for romance and Acapulco scenery. It's so bad it's great. With a young Stephanie Powers and Cliff Robertson.

I just love the rich kids, they're so deliciously evil.

I had to add one more comment to make my first post a flamer :)

Thanks to those of you who put in yer 2 cents. Later... have a fab day...

You have to see it in 3D.....

i have not seen it in 3d -- you are quite lucky :)

i bought the criterion dvd, but they don't give you a 3d version on it

that movie is so campy, so trashy -- absolutely wonderful

i love all those warhol/paul morrissey collaborations

welcome to DU! :hi:

I don't know about trash/freak/midnight movies. I've no way of knowing if I've ever seen one... Does "Rocky Horror Picture Show" qualify?

Thanks -- of course it does -- anything qualifies that would not be suitable for network television :hi:

:hi:

So bad, it's good!
