The Corpse Vanishes
This film without comment track was a total hoot! I imagine the MST3K version is even greater. Part 1 begins here.

Follies of the Mad Men #115
Okay, if you want to claim that your shaving cream will make the Average Joe resemble a movie star, wouldn't you pick Errol Flynn, say, or even Humphrey Bogart, rather than Frankenstein's monster?

Worst Art-house Movie Ever?
The site where I found this clip explains:
"The now-infamous 'cup and sea' sequence from director Turge Babonet's 1968 film, THE HORRIBLE HORROR -- which prompted writer Cleveland Amory (TV Guide. May 12, 1968) to comment on the state of European cinema, 'You have to be on LSD to understand it'. Babonet's Dutch-language drama was ambitiously rescored and subtitled for US distribution, but its story of tragically depressed cod fishermen held no appeal for American audiences."
However, many folks believe Turge is a hoax.
Look at this purported list of Turge's films, and tell me what you think.

Jackboots On Whitehall
Alternate history science fiction told entirely through puppets.
Not something you see every day.

This Is A Recorded Message
1973 was, of course, really the tail-end of the trippy Sixties.
Warning: millisecond subliminal flashes of nudity.

These Are the Droids You’re Looking For
Everybody who's anybody knows that one of the best motion pictures of all time is the original Star Wars. So what is the best way to pay tribute to such a cinematic masterpiece? That's right, by breaking the film into 472 fifteen second clips and having fans reenact it. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Star Wars Uncut:Star Wars: Uncut Trailer from Casey Pugh on Vimeo.
As confusing as it should be to change actors, style, and even plot details four times per minute, somehow this actually works. There are some completed segments and you can see most of the individual clips on their site. I only wish I had found out about this sooner, so I could take part.
I seriously can't wait until this comes out.
