Why isn't this movie a cult favorite of everyone? Considering today is the last day of the year, I think I can safely say this was the funniest movie I saw all year (aside from Rock n Roll Nightmare, but that's another story).
Russ Meyer's Faster Pussycat Kill!..kill!Russ Meyer's Faster Pussycat Kill!..kill!
Russ Meyers first masterpiece. How could anyone watch this and really think he's a sexest?

Not only does it star Robert Mitchum as a creepy ex-con who dresses like a priest, it features a score by Walter Schumann, a personal favorite of mine. Had it not been for the drawn out ending with the characters no one even liked, this might have been the best movie of the month

Foreign kids movies are a picadillo of mine. Since I grew up loving the 80's movie, discovering these gems was like hitting the goldmine. Perfectly weird and cute!

Absolutly the sexiest heist movie I've ever seen!!!

Worked great as a double feature with Tucker! This Frank Capra classic is sentimental and well made as always.

I saw this movie on a list that John Waters had compiled. The list was of his top 10 favorite underrated films. As remember this film's release but relatively nothing else about it, I decided it looked like a safe bet for some good clean fun. That's exactly what it is! A nice "Mr. Smith-ish" story witha bittersweet ending. Great film.

My first experience with Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. What a dynamic duo! They were hilarious and the whole movie was like a cartoon. I've seen several others now and this is still my favorite. Great theme by Oliver Onions.

this movie was really interesting, rival advertising companies go to war. One of them hiers a girl with bad teeth as their mascott. Unconventional style and subject matter. Worth checking out if you like that sort of thing...
