99 AND 44/100% DEAD DVD (1972) $14.99
run time: 98 mins. USA. Color.
directed by: John Frankenheimer
description: John Frankenheimer's bizarre, satirical gangster film is not for all tastes but has acquired a minor cult following. Elderly mobster Edmond O'Brien hires a hitman (Richard Harris) to eliminate his rival (Bradford Dillman) in a dystopic setting of not-quite reality. There are albino alligators, skillful chase scenes, and Chuck Connors as a one-handed psycho who can fit various deadly weapons on his stumpy arm. None of it makes much sense, and mainstream viewers may end up scratching their heads in bewilderment, but fans of more esoteric films should find it a lot of fun.

Too delicately ethereal to cope with either the hussle and bustle of a 1970 New York City or her un-hip boyfriend, Fred (Philip Proctor), Susan/Noah escapes into another reality, presided over by The Magician (Orson Welles with a cheap Yiddish accent). As she flits back and forth between past and present, fantasy and reality, Susan encounters Mitch (Jack Nicholson), an old lover who might also be her brother, and Bari (Gwen Welles) who delivers a soliloquy concerning New York City mashers.

description: Franklin Cane (Beau Bridges) is a red-hot professional tennis player who climbs the ladder of success with his trainer, Jonathan (Gilbert Roland), at his side. Jonathan was once considered the greatest American tennis player and intends to guide Franklin to the high-road. Franklin does not transcend the interest he has in local Hollywood-type parties littered with has-beens, wannabes and think-they-ares. It is there that he meets Cynthia (Maud Adams), a pretty photographer who makes a living photographing people like French filmmaker Jean Renoir and taking production photos of commercials.

description: The charms of mental illness and the superiority conferred by psychic wounds are celebrated almost as whimsically in Arthur Hiller's "The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder." Timothy Bottoms plays a Vietnam veteran who frolics all over his hospital, convinced that he's far saner than the doctors who pronounce him "psychiatrically impaired." The movie - which drowns its antiwar theme in a cataract of cuteness was produced by Hugh M. Hefner of Playboy, and contains one of the silliest wedding scenes we've ever seen.

When Vangie is murdered, McGee hires a lookalike (also played by Suzy Kendall) to corner the killers. As is usually the case in the ouevre of John D. McDonald, nothing is quite what it appears to be on surface. Jane Russell, reemerging from one of her period retirements, is fun to watch as "Alabama Tiger".

DEEP END DVD (1971) $14.99
run time: 88 minutes. UK. Color.
directed by: Jerzy Skolimowski
description: Exceptional film from 1971 about a teen boy's sexual obsession with his older, loose, co-worker at a seedy London bathhouse. Great cinematography, realistic acting, humor and an amazing set-piece ending. Mike (John Moulder-Brown) is a teen-aged London bathhouse attendant who forms a business alliance with a female attendant (Jane Asher). The object is to obtain better tips from their clients, but soon the impressionable Moulder-Brown falls in love with the older Asher. Brushed off by the girl in favor of a handsome swimming instructor, Moulder-Brown makes several halfhearted attempts at revenge. Motivated by lust with tragic results, Deep End observes how adolescent obsession can mushroom into disaster if one doesn't have the emotional equipment to cope. The director's stint working with Roman Polanski (he wrote KNIFE IN THE WATER) shows in this highly recommended rarity! WATCH CLIP

DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE DVD (1970) $14.99
run time: 94 mins. USA. Color.
directed by: Frank Perry
description: Superstardom was predicted for Carrie Snodgress on the basis of her spectacular film debut in Diary of a Mad Housewife. Snodgress plays the long-suffering wife of pushy, insensitive attorney Richard Benjamin. Unable to withstand being treated as a trophy (and a tarnished one at that), Snodgress has a brief affair with sexy Frank Langella. Alas, Langella, like virtually every other male character in the film, is just as selfish and self-involved as Benjamin. Even when she enters group therapy, Snodgress is disenchanted by the obtuseness and chauvinism of her male psychiatrist. Nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in Diary of a Mad Housewife, Carrie Snodgress dropped out of films shortly afterward to move in with rock star Neil Young - with whom she raised a child. She returned to cinema with a pivotal role in Brian de Palma's bloody thriller The Fury.

Feeling stifled by their blue-collar jobs, the boys become tentatively involved in crime, only to discover that they enjoy working on the wrong side of the law. The moments of extreme violence in this film erupt naturally, not arbitrarily, but still come as a shock to those viewers who've grown to like the sociopathic protagonists. Co-starring a young Margot Kidder who later went on to fame with Superman. Terence Malick co-wrote the film's seriocomic script under the "nom de plume" of David Whitney. WATCH CLIP

The various alliances and rivalries in this close-knit community are further stressed as the murderous husband uses his knowledge of the community for a wide-ranging blackmail scheme. While the police investigate, the doctors who do open-heart surgery on their patients experience heart-rending situations themselves. The film has a large and distinguished cast of actors, including Richard Crenna, Dyan Cannon, Caroll O'Conner, Ralph Bellamy, Gene Hackman, John Colicos, Diana Sands and Janice Rule.

run time: 100 mins. USA. Color. Widescreen.
directed by: Paul Newman
description: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Paul Zindel and directed by actor Paul Newman. Joanne Woodward portrays the eccentric young widow who is raising her two disparate daughters in an atmosphere of bitterness, hatred and over-protection that threatens their very growth and development. Embittered and misandristic, she raises her daughters in an atmosphere of hate that leaves them as depressed and neurotic as she is. The title of the movie comes from her anger at her daughter's science teacher for encouraging her to expose marigolds to gamma rays as a science project. This experiment becomes a metaphor for her own life, as she struggles to bloom in a household deadened by her mother's alcoholism and her sister's lethargy.

GIRL STROKE BOY DVD (1971) $14.99

directed by: Bob Kellett
description: The straightlaced parents of a young boy who has, until now, shown no interest in the opposite sex, are surprised when he comes home with androgynous girl/boy from the West Indies. This is a comedy of manners, somewhat akin to "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," but in place of a black man, we get a black transgender woman (or male-born androgyne; it is unclear). As such, it was and is way ahead of its time. From a play called "Girlfriend" by David Percival. Sir Michael Hordern's performance as George Mason is alternately understated and over-the-top, but most of all howlingly funny.

There's a likelihood that the scientist was permitted to escape so that he can spy on the Good Guys. Baker must decide if the escapee is to be rescued or eliminated.

Set in Macao, the film finds Jaeckel cast as a two-fisted, womanizing private detective. He has been assigned to track down an international crime ring, run by the sort of folks who have no qualms about knocking someone off just to keep in practice.

directed by: Robert B. Bean
description: As one of the great unsung treasures of 1970's American cinema, this acerbic, by-the-throat romantic comedy fell through the cracks of video distribution for decades after its initial release despite a brief theatrical reissue in 1985. It's a funny-sad movie about Gig "Giggy" Pinimba and Pandora "Panda" Gold (real-life husband and wife Joe Bologna and Renee Taylor, who also co-scripted) two endearing losers who meet in an encounter group and gravitate to one another as permanent soul mates and best friends -- falling in love even as they persist in driving each other bananas. Panda and Giggy may or may not have been born to be together, but their respective childhoods from hell (depicted in hilarious sepia-toned flashbacks) clearly molded them to go hand in glove.
