Cult Movies

Certainly the "Movies"  (sometimes I feel embarrassed saying "Film"), is turning out to be the section I'm working hardest on. (Music ain't bad, neither.) This website is moving mighty slow -- I know I have taken on way more than I can do, but my maniacal streak refuses to let me ask some friends to write some  copy. Just realize (if you're familiar with the psychological terms, I'm very much both a "People Pleaser" and a "Yes, but.." type of personality), so I just keep on plugging away... Alone... please.. help me!!!

Ahem -- I should remind you that -- for what's it's worth --  I do have a 4-year bachelor  degree in Communications/Photography & Film Production from Southern Illinois University (actually, quite an excellent program), and I have probably seen more films in any given one year period than the average person will see in their entire life. Part of that may also be because my taste roams from the lowest of the lowbrow to high (I loved Last Year at Marienbad, a 1961 "art house" hit directed by Alan Resnais that as far as script complexity and especially viewer comprehension makes David Lynch's Eraserhead seem like The Sound of Music. I try to go into a movie with no preconceptions or prejudice.

You can get to most of the film sections on the Cult Movies graphic up at the top-left, or back to the main sections either on the left or at the bottom of this page. 

My favorite part so far is probly' my response to the American Film Institute's list of Top 100 American films. I tried not to put any of the same movie's on my list, but mine are definitely all-American (which severely limited my choices). And while you could probably question the pure Americanism of a few of AFI's choices, it's the same with me, since I refused to leave out  maybe a couple choices (like a few Mexican horror movies I just refuse to overlook... maybe I'll write a "Mexican Horror" section!  Yeah, right...  Also, who am I to say they are the "Greatest?"  So my list is unabashedly my favorites. And somehow. the list came-out to some 270-or-something of my favorite U.S. films. 

I also want to alert you that both the People section, with fine actors like Timothy Carey and Lawrence Tierney as well as directors like now infamous Al Adamson, as well as the now notorious and  world renowned, Edward D. Wood Jr.; Luis Bunuel gives you a little dose of  Surrealism; and especially, I can't forget  the Cheepnis section -- certainly one of my favorite film genres --, which I just started about a month ago.
