Feel free to PM me suggestions to feature each week

Oh, come on! This is a classic! Nowhere near the last 6 craptastic films.

[El Presidente]

One of the great movie openings of all time!!!!!  

Di disagrees entirely, She sat through 45 minutes and simply looked at me in disgust  

[JohnS]

Let's just say it...this is a must-see!

What, you mean she didn't like Pygar the blind Angel? 

[Li Bai]

Funny enough, I've watched it for the first time a couple of months ago, definitely a must-see 😁

[Lucas Buck]

Classic. A favorite. 

[Li Bai]

I will add that, like many at the time, Roger Vadim was a sick b*st*rd 😂🤣

The trailer makes you think this movie has potential, but that’s all there is. Once you see the trailer, the rest of the movie is filler. However, I think it’s craptastic enough to recommend. 

[BG318]

A must watch! 

[Dadof3]

A relic of a lost time and experimental science fiction. It both reminds us what Jane Fonda looked like when she was young and it also includes Anita Pallenberg who was married to Keith Richards. Worth the watch if any of that interests you.  

[Muco]

Absolutely amazing. "my pretty pretty".

[Ford2112]

It is great campy goodness! I mean, you get to see Jane Fonda naked, in a fur lined ship. There's some angel dude. Some guy covered in body hair. That orgasmatron machine lol. This is good for what it is. I wouldn't put it in the same category as the Temu Birds movie, though.

If your significant other hates it, it's a great movie.

This is almost always true in my case.

Same here 🤣😂

She almost didn't talk to me for a couple of days after I showed her "Grave of the Fireflies". 😂😂

Not surprised by her reaction, to be honest. A fantastic anime from Studio Ghibli, but also one of the hardest to watch. Not a popcorn and lounging on the couch type of film. 

If you don't feel something while watching, check your pulse, you may be dead.

Wow. I've never seen it, but heard it referenced before. I have zero clue what it's about, but what do I have to lose? It shares the name with a nice restaurant/lounge in Calgary. 

It can't be worse than Gingerdead Man. Any interest in adding that to the list @MoeFOH?

Cheers!

True masterpiece, I'm waiting a few years more to show it to the kids.

hurtful that this classic would be bracketed with the rest of the rubbish in film club.
