Hot Rods to Hell is a favorite of mine.

Already had 3 of those set to record, may add 3 or 4 more.

Love Affair, aka The Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator (1968)

Directed by Dusan Makavejev

Sun Nov. 9, 3:45am

hitchhiker is worth taping

that's a fun one!

they should have shown "they live by night" in that lovers-on-the-run series.

XXP they're showing another Makavejev before that one, A Man Is Not A Bird (1966).

i've read that book probably... 6-7 times

own 2 copies lol

And yet...

would est have been as successful if werner erhard weren't a serenely handsome man?

Well, considering LR Hubb4rd, maybe cult popularity is inversely proportional to the founder's looks.

Is Lost In America any good?

my favorite Albert Brooks film! "no Santy Claus"

"We were going to touch Indians!"

"You GIVE the money BACK!"

Also the motorcycle rider. My fave Brooks too.

"no Santy Claus"

this scene.

the justification of Garry Marshall's existence

^^

also: the long slow slide into hysteria in the scene b/w Brooks and his boss

No one has mentioned the "nest egg" yet.

I think I did in the Brooks thread.

No one can mention "nest egg" if they do not understand the concept "nest egg."

I was going to say it's my favourite comedy of the past whatever, but I think it's my favourite comedy ever; I'd have to check, but I think I had it #1 in the ILX poll. Throwaway exchange I love:

"Why do you keep speaking to me like I'm a dog?"
"I'll explain later."

"Eh-heh-heh": Young Mr. Sad Bad And Sexist Shithead To Know doesn't deserve the voluptuous horror of Karen Black

Are we allowed to use the words "nest" and "egg" in the same sentence?

btw, WilliamC, there's no need for you to watch Lost In America now, all the jokes are in here.

The core, the heart money, the nest egg.

Korda's Jungle Book is on tomorrow. Worth seeing?

i think so! Sabu has amazing presence and the cinematography is dreamlike.

^^

i always think of this strangely poignant song when i think of sabu

remember the night is AWESOME and stanwyck is all time

i once had a really odd conversation with my mother about how much she hated Barbara Stanwyck. it was hilarious.

Almost feel bad for your mom.

But if you were to recount hilarious conversation it might cheer me up.

I wish I could accurately relay it, but it wasn't so much the words as the pure, unexpected, primal disgust in her face when I mentioned how much I loved Stanwyck, as she simply muttered "I don't like her. I never did." It totally came out of nowhere.

Some of these have been/probably will/not/ be on tcm, but mainly it's a big free stash---suppressed yet supposedly uncut Kubrick etc:
