Buy used from: $5.42
Black comedy meets traditional horror genre, with a great soundtrack to boot.
American PsychoAmerican Psycho
Buy used from: $1.68
The barely acceptable cinema portrayal of Ellis' viciously observant satirical black comedy masterpiece. Looks to me like Bale actually had fun playing this role.

Schlocky kung fu slush-pile fare from the middle 80s.
American NightmareAmerican Nightmare

The highly attractive and sweetly tarty Jo Beth Williams goes a bit flaky in this mid-80s fluff.
American Gothic [VHS]American Gothic [VHS]

Light and lame close-post-80s flick about teen who comes to California and is brought under a cool dude's wing, with adventure and moderate action to follow.
American Tickler [VHS]American Tickler [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.90
A mid-70s pseudo "Kentucky Fried Movie" wannabe that doesn't hit. Not hip, not cool, not original, and basically not funny.
American Flatulators [VHS]American Flatulators [VHS]
Buy used from: $1.59
My first reaction is to point out that this title is redundant. But seriously, it's a single bit, taken to a thoroughly unfunny extreme.
