- The
Postman Always Rings Twice
- I am referring to the John Garfield/Lana Turner version. It was after
seeing this film that I fell in love with Hank, a boy who was a year behind
me in high school. Was it a coincidence that Hank bore a striking resemblance
not only to my shot put coach but also to John Garfield?
- Golden
Earrings
- Any film starring Marlene Dietrich is a must see! In this film she portrays
a gypsy hiding Ray Milland from those evil Germans ;-)
- Can't
Stop the Music
- My favorite male archetypes of machismo, the Village People!!!! Costarring
Steve Gutenburg who sports white Levis and Bruce Jenner who dons a sexy
half shirt.
- Billy Jack
- "They tell me I'm supposed to control my bad temper. But when I see what
you done here...I...just...go...BER-ZERK! KaPow!!!!!!!!"
- The Wild
One
- "Johnny, what are you rebelling against?"
"Whaddaya got?"
Oh Marlon, my words exactly!
- Legend
of Billy Jean
- Butch haircuts, Pat Benetar, and PUTTER JACKS!!!!
- Magic
Christian
- This must be seen if only to experience Yul Brynner in drag and Laurence
Harvey doing a strip tease to Hamlet's soliloquy.
- Willy
Wonka's Chocolate Factory
- "There's no earthly way of knowing...which direction we are going...there's
no knowing where we're rowing...or which way the river's flowing...Is it
raining, is it snowing...is a hurricane a-blowing?" This is in the scene
where Mr. Wonka takes the kids on a psychadelic boat ride.
- Another
Country
- Rupert Everett on Cary Elwes: "It was his smile, it made me dizzy. Everything
beautiful is slightly lopsided. There's a hollow at the base of his throat
that makes me want to pour honey all over him and lick it off again."
- Brideshead
Revisited
- Anthony Blanche to potential bullies: "Dear sweet Clodhoppers! If you
knew anything about sexual psychology, you would know that nothing could
give me keener pleasure than to be manhandled by you meaty boys! Ecstacy
of the most naughtiest kind! So, if you wish to be my partner in joy come
and seize me, if on the other hand you wish to satsify some less easily
classified libido and see me bathe, come with me quietly dear louts- to
the fountain!"
- Maedchen
in Uniform and The
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
- Both of these films remind me of my idyllic days at Rosemont College and
the unusual relationship I had with a certain professor.
- Beguiled
- This film also reminds me of my alma mater! Clint Eastwood is kept as a
sex slave in an all girls' school. Watching this film when I was fifteen,
that's exactly how I wanted to see Clint...caged and helpless.
- Harold
and Maude
- The courtship and romance between a twenty-year old man and an eighty-year
old woman.
- Myra
Breckenridge
- Where else will you see Raquel Welch indulging in not only a sapphic love
scene with Farrah Faucett but also raping a young cowboy?
- Sextette
- Senility at its worst extreme! Mae West at 93 years of age portrays the
30-year old bride of Timothy Dalton! Amazingly, she doesn't look a day over
72!
- Where
the Boys Are
- Paula Prentiss, Jim Hutton, Connie Francis, Frank Gorshin, Dolores Hart,
George Hamilton! What a cast!!! I love it when Tuggle says, "I'm gonna go
home the way I came even if I have to go down to the local blacksmith and
buy me a belt!"
