Through a series of macabre "coincidences," the newly-elected director of a cemetery (Richard Boone) begins to believe that he can cause the deaths of living owners of burial plots by merely changing the push-pin color from white (living) to black (dead) on a large wall map of the cemetery that notes those plots. - IMDB

This is the story of a failed marriage between two well-meaning people of above-average integrity. Families, with all the eccentricities of their members, are crucibles of intense emotion. This film tells that story like it really is, complete with the love, ambitions, rivalries, jealousies, vindictiveness, doubts (of self and others), mistakes, frustrations, self-castigation, and all the rest of it. The characters are definitely not caricatures or two-dimensional cardboard cut-outs, they are real people who really want to make their family succeed, but fall down because they do not fully understand their own needs and motivations, or each other's. It has been said that "you always hurt the ones you love"; this film shows in excruciating detail just how, if not exactly why.

By night they leave their graves, crawling, shambling, through empty streets, whimpering, pleading, begging for his blood! Do you dare to imagine what it would be like to be... the last man on earth... or the last woman? Alive among the lifeless... alone among the crawling creatures of evil that make the night hideous with their inhuman craving! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058700 Vincent Price ...

One of a number of shorts that W.C. Fields made before he went into feature films. The scene where he extracts the woman's tooth may be one of the funniest he made.
aka "Dementia". Could have been called "Alice in Film-noirland" A very dreamlike story indeed. Not so far from "Carnival of Souls" or Orson Welles' "Trial". John Parker was only the producer. Co-star Bruno VeSota is suspected to have been the real author of this treat. more info on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047976/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daughter_of_Horror

Off and on during the 1950s, the Calvin Company employed a young director named Robert Altman who had ambitions to leave them and become a Hollywood filmmaker. He was directing TV episodics in LA at the time "Your Name Here" may have been produced, but the people who did it certainly seem to have felt his wry influence back in Kansas City.
The Calvin Workshop, probably the leading industrial film producer in the nation back in the 40s and 50s, occasionally produced satiric in-house parodies, which would be featured at company get-togethers. Nothing racy, mind you, just a little something to wink at the viewer and say "Ridiculous-- isn't it?"
Of course, since the production of these gems invariably used the same production staff, cast and crew involved in the company's other projects, the effect of viewing one is delightfully... surreal.
"Your Name Here" is a somewhat loopy take on the budgetary pressures that were always present when dealing with industrial clients, which the company proposes to eliminate through the development of an "all-purpose" [read: generic] business film. The scary part is, the finished product is just good enough that someone might have taken them up on it!

A sci fi movie that could only be made in Italy with entertaining bad science, lots of romantic schmaltz and the kind of low-budget FX we've grown to love. Just add tomato sauce. Lots of fun. Very good print too.
Japanese science fiction tokusatsu film released in January 1956 by Daiei, and was the first Japanese science fiction film to be produced in color.
Eegah (also known as Eegah: The Name Written in Blood) is a 1962 film starring Arch Hall, Jr., Arch Hall, Sr., Marilyn Manning and Richard Kiel in the titular role. The film's notoriety was enhanced as a result of being featured on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and was said by many to be an all time worst film and one of the films listed in Michael Medved's book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.
The complete CBS nuclear disaster preparation special. "I consider it essential that any showing of "A Day Called X" be followed immediately by a showing of the cult classic Don Johnson vehicle "A Boy and His Dog", based on the Harlan Ellison story." ~trilby1989
1975 science fiction film directed by L. Q. Jones, based on a 1969 cycle of narratives by science fiction author Harlan Ellison titled "A Boy and His Dog". The film tells the story of a boy (Vic) and his telepathic dog (Blood), who work together as a team in a post-apocalyptic world.
This blow-dried, double-knit polyester 70s warm-up for GoodFellas and The Sopranos was most likely inspired by Martin Scorsese's early hit Mean Streets (1973). It even features a couple of later Scorsese regulars - future Oscar winner (for GoodFellas) Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent, both playing a couple of local hoods. Has a bit of B movie charm, replete with gratuitous F-bombs and topless dancers and was most likely one of the last of the B drive-in exploitation features before the multiplexes replaced the drive-ins.
C.C. Ryder (Joe Namath) is a biker who rescues Ann McCalley (Ann-Margret) from a rape attempt by a gang of malevolent hippies. But gang-leader Moon (William Smith) seeks revenge for C.C.'s interference. The film also features singer Wayne Cochran and his band The C.C. Riders.
Dennie (Sally Field) has returned from a year among the hippies to her superficial, image-conscious suburban family. She must face their disapproval of her actions. They refuse to even try to understand. She must also deal with an ex-lover (David Carradine), and a beloved young sister (Lane Bradbury) who is following in her footsteps, wanting the idealistic hippie life but making some rash decisions in the process.
A Roy Rogers picture and made mostly for kids and as such is very good of kind, so we can suspend a lot of realistic details. When a mines proprietary shipping a load uranium is attacked Roy as an insurance investigator looking into the theft. He must prevent the thieves from taking off in a plane with the stolen uranium ore.
A scientist, a reporter and a repairman are accidentally transported to a prehistoric world in a parallel universe when they fall into the beam of the experiment during an earthquake aftershock. It's a cheaply made fantasy/adventure romp that doesn't take itself too seriously, as evidenced by the sound effects that fall somewhere between The Three Stooges and a Kung Fu flick. You'll have no trouble telling the good guys from the bad guys in this simple morality tale.
James Caan stars as Jud McGraw, a cowboy unjustly framed for a crime he didn't commit; he partners up with an ethically wronged Native American woman named Little Moon (Stefanie Powers). In response to the ills they have each suffered, the two set off to wreak vengeance on a small western town.
This 13.5 minute short tells the viewer what Civil Defense is preparing for in the event of nuclear war with the USSR. It then presents the most detailed information I've seen on the preparation of a Nevada nuclear test site, but very little about the aftermath. You'll see soldiers in trenches some distance from ground zero leave them after the blast and march through contaminated areas.
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a 1964 science fiction film that regularly appears on lists of the worst films ever made. It is regularly featured in the "bottom 100" list on the Internet Movie Database, and was featured in an episode of the 1986 syndicated series, the Canned Film Festival. It was directed by Nicholas Webster, and it stars John Call as Santa Claus. It also includes an 8-year-old Pia Zadora playing the role of one of the Martian children and also marks the first documented appearance of Mrs. Claus in a motion picture (Doris Rich plays the role), coming three weeks before the TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer also featured the character.
Spider Baby is a 1964 black comedy horror film, written and directed by Jack Hill. It stars Lon Chaney, Jr. as Bruno, the chauffeur and caretaker of three orphaned siblings who suffer from "Merrye Syndrome", which causes them to mentally, socially, and physically regress backwards down the evolutionary ladder starting in early puberty. Sid Haig, Jill Banner, Carol Ohmart, Quinn Redeker, Mary Mitchel, and Karl Schanzer also star.

The film was shot on the 20th Century Fox backlot and at Samuel Goldwyn Studio.
The Stooges run a tailor shop that is about to be repossessed by the Skin and Flint Finance Corporation. When the Boys hear about a big reward for fugitive bank robber 'Terry "Slippery Fingers" Hargan' (Harold Brauer), they think that catching him might end their financial woes. Hargan conveniently ducks into their shop as the officer enters and leaves a suit with a safe combination in its pocket. After his girlfriend (Virginia Hunter) fails to retrieve the combination, Hargan returns with his henchmen, and a wild mêlée follows. The Stooges miss out on the reward but wind up with the crook's bankroll to pay off their debts.
Charade is a 1963 Technicolor American romantic comedy/mystery film directed by Stanley Donen, written by Peter Stone and Marc Behm, and starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. The cast also features Walter Matthau, James Coburn, George Kennedy, Dominique Minot, Ned Glass, and Jacques Marin. It spans three genres: suspense thriller, romance and comedy. Because Universal Pictures published the movie with an invalid copyright notice, the film entered the public domain in the United States immediately upon its release.
The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 American comedy horror film directed by Roger Corman. Written by Charles B. Griffith, the film is a farce about an inadequate florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human flesh and blood. The film's concept is thought to be based on a 1932 story called "Green Thoughts", by John Collier, about a man-eating plant.

What a good film. Fine acting, especially from the two leads, good plot and some exemplary photography, some little touches of genius (like the close up of the brothers face when he tries to scare his sister - perfect reflections like eyes in his glasses) Can hardly fault this film in any way - the inspiration for a genre.
Not to be confused with "Murder By Television" starring Bela Lugosi. This film is about a young inventor trying to get his television system financed. A gang of crooks are out to stop him. This film is considered science fiction by many because the concept of television was still on the drawing boards in the 30's, but it's also a comedy. Stars Lyle Talbot, Mary Astor, Nat Pendleton, and Joyce Compton. Whether you would consider this scifi or not, you should find it entertaining anyway.
A low budget jungle adventure filmed on location in Guatemala. Contains brief topless nudity. Directed by Fernando Wagner. Released in 1959. a.k.a. "Fury of the Jungle" (censored version).
This is the 75 minute TV version of Roger Corman's (and Charles Griffin's) goofy self-parody "Creature from the Haunted Sea." For television, Monte Hellman wrote, produced and directed about 15 minutes of new footage to get the film up to a marketable length including an absurd theme song as performed by the wonderful Betsy Jones-Moreland. These scenes, presumably shot in 16mm, were never intended for theatrical release, but crop to a 16 x 9 aspect ratio (along with the rest of the film) as though that had been a possibility. This is just about as good an image as you'll find on this title, but the beginning is a little rough.
