What a bizarre, ridiculous, and relentlessly watchable movie. I'll never understand what the leading cast (all of whom I usually love) were thinking.
Still, the Chauffeur has haunted my dreams for years.

I was all into the Disco '70s Mickey Mouse Club and mousketeer Todd Turquand was in Burnt Offerings.
I thought that was very cool.

Posted: 6/25/08 at 11:19amI can't believe you guys mentioned The Manitou. I saw that when it first aired on cable back in 1980 or so. God, that was horrible! That is shortlisted on my bad horror flicks list.

Posted: 6/25/08 at 11:43amI remember Bette Davis telling a story about Oliver Reed getting drunk during filming, playing the bagpipes and falling down a hill.

Posted: 6/25/08 at 11:43amRe: THE MANITOU, MM...you gotta admit, any movie that has among other things a midget Indian bursting out of the back of Susan Strasberg must be seen to be believed. Oh, and that climax in...outer space!

If you want a good Exorcist rip-off, it doesnt get better than "Abby" starring the king of cartoons.

Posted: 6/28/08 at 7:00amI also love Die, Die, My Darling. It was on a few months ago and I hadn't seen it in a long time, I was planning on doing some errands and was only going to watch a few minutes, well of course, the movie won out!

Posted: 6/28/08 at 7:56am"Die, Die, My Darling" is a hoot. Donald Sutherland has a small part in that. I love when Bankhead looks at St. John's red car and says, "Corruptor."
