70's Cult Project

The Mike over at From Midnight, With Love poses this question: "What would you say are the most essential cult films of the 1970s?". Sez The Mike, "You can pick whatever you want, as long as you formulate a ranked TOP 5 in this category. After everyone has created their list, I will compile an overall list that will use YOUR picks to determine a final list of The Midnight Warriors' Most Essential Cult Films of the 1970s! I'll plan on trying to finish this in two weeks, so I'd like to have lists from people by Monday August 30th."

With thanks to The Mike, here's the Bloody Terror List of the Most Essential Cult Films of the 1970's:

FORMER #5. Suspiria (1977, Dir. Dario Argento)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Dawn of the Dead (1978), Suspiria (1977) ... each of these deserve to be on this list. BUT I gotta get rid of this/these choices to make way for Bloody Terror's REAL choice for #5 (see below).


5. The Poseidon Adventure (1972, Dir. Ronald Neame)


4. The Streetfighter (1975, Dir. S. Ozawa)


3. Supervixens (1975, Dir: Russ Meyer)


2. El Topo (1971, Dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky)


1. Eraserhead (1978, Dir. David Lynch)

My Canuxploitation Film Festival

While perusing the essential Canuxploitation website, I got to thinking... If I were to program my own little festival of Canadian exploitation films, the schedule would run like this:

Classics Re-Arranged

From Miss Jinx over at Totally Jinxed via Tim Grant of Post-Mortem Depression:

“Below are twenty horror films which are universally accepted as classics listed in alphabetical order. Just rearrange the list by cutting and pasting them into your own order based on how you would rate them. For instance, if you think that "The Hills Have Eyes" is a better movie than "Hellraiser" then cut and paste it higher up in the list. Repeat this with all the titles until you have your own personalised top twenty. Other people will then be able to see if you have the same tastes in horror as them or not.”

The Exorcist (1973)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
