This extravaganza of outrageously bad taste is the long-delayed and way over the top sequel to the cult comedy "Flesh Gordon." It's not for the easily offended. The acting is atrocious and the jokes are juvenile. The production values including FX are suprisingly good. NOTE: "Flesh Gordon" was released in 1974. This its only sequel was released in 1990 and 1993 as NC-17 and R rated versions. This trailer is for the 1990 NC-17 version.

A mammoth, episodic retelling of stories from the first 22 chapters of the book of Genesis. The runtime is 174 minutes. International all-star cast.

On the contrary it defeats nazism with weapons against which it has no defense, laughter and courage. A multiple oscar winner including best actor (Benigni) and best foreign language film. (a.k.a.

A crime caper film noir directed by Robert Siodmak in which, as the title implies, almost no one can be trusted. Good cast, however I take a minor exception to the casting of Yvonne De Carlo, which is a quibble you probably won't agree with.

This print is sharper than the existing IA copy. A truly iconic film and one of the all-time great science fiction dramas with a superb background score by Bernard Herrmann.

CAST NOTE: Michael Rennie's first American film.

1994 erotic thriller with superior imagery, but now is mostly remember for its sex scenes. Bruce Willis and Jane March costar. IMDB rating 5.1, MPAA R for strong sexuality, violence and language.

One of the Coen brothers (I forget which) said this film is "the Three Stooges meet Homer's 'Odyssey.'" The discription fits.

A female alien with a heavy dominatrix vibe lands her spinning-top space ship next to an isolated Scottish inn.
