Forbidden Zone (1980)
My head is still spinning
I saw this quite by accident on Showtime last night, and it's incredibly hard to articulate what I'm feeling at this moment. I have seen some really strange movies throughout the years, from a lot of different countries, but this has got to be the weirdest one I've ever seen (not the worst, just the weirdest; that honor goes to a movie who's title I've mercifully forgotten, regarding ninjas and vampires).
For a second there I though I was watching a video from the Squirrel Nut Zippers, but then I realized it was an actual movie. It has to been seen to be believed, and if you watch it with an open mind and a total lack of expectations, you will go away amazed and in awe and saying to yourself "Huh?"
Rabbit Test (1978)
Why doesn't anyone remember this film?
I remember rolling in the aisles with laughter from some of the subtle (and not-so-subtle) jokes in this film: Billy Crystal yelling out "Immigration!" in order to dismiss his ESL class after everything else fails; the young girl appearing from under the kitchen table and the clergyman simply saying "Bless you, my child.". The experience of watching it for the first time was also memorable, as I saw it with my sister while living in Mexico, and a lot of the jokes went over most of the audience's head. People kept giving us strange looks while we laughed at jokes that made no sense to them at the time. I hope to find this on DVD sometime; it would make a great addition to anyone who loves film parodies and screwball comedies.
Don Juan DeMarco (1994)
A great couples film
Aside from the general good feeling this movie leaves with you, one of the most interesting things I associate with it is the experience of having first seen during it's initial run at a movie theater in Florida. As the end credits began to roll, everyone stood up and applauded...
