What are some good drive in cult/campy movies?

I just finished watching a 200 film box set purchased from Amazon.. Mae West's Sextette was... unforgettable.

Though a lot of people hate Mystery Science Theater 3000 for its premise (wiseass commentary on mostly B-grade or less 50s-70s movies that would have been shown at Drive-ins, their site offers the original film, and possibly a 50s-60s short film, as well as the one they riffed with wiseass comments. I loved MST3K but it seemed to be a love it or hate it show. Their full catalogue is available here.

Oops, sorry, wrong link at R3 Here's the MST3K link. Although I accidentally linked the wrong thread, check out Stingray Supermarionation for a 60s classic.

Pieces (with the classic tag line You Don't Have to Go to Texas for a Chainsaw Massacre). Anything from John Waters up through Polyester. Empire of the Ants with DL favorite Dame Joan Collins as a real estate agent trying to sell lots in an island community infested with giant 6 foot long carnivorous ants. Or if horror isn't your thing how about Joan's other classics The Bitch or The Stud which were immediately pre-Dynasty and put her on the entertainment community radar as a cougar 20 years before the term was popular. There's also eighties classic Reform School Girls with Wendy O. Williams of the Plasmatics as an insane lesbian delinquent and Sybil Danning as the warden.

How does that boxed set have neither Kingdom of the Spiders nor Night of the Lepus? Captain Kirk and Bones had to eat, people.

Night of the Living Dead

Cabaret

Serial Mom

Anything with Divine

Anything by John Waters

All the frightfully bad TV movies made in the 1970s. ABC did a lot of them.

That box set looks like it has a lot of the old Cannon films.

Blood Feast. Grandaddy of the the gore movie. And unintentionally funny!

Look for Paul Bartel’s “Private Parts.” (Not the Howard Stern movie) A truly WTF cinema experience

Cult of the Damned. 'I've made 30 stag films and I've never faked an orgasm!' Before movie legend Jennifer Jones made her final screen appearance in the disaster flick Towering Inferno, she made this disaster. Rock star/cult leader Bogart Peter Styvenson corrupts a fat heiress and her stag actress mother and homosexual father. Like that bad night Tijuana, you hope the ordeal will fade from memory once the vomiting stops. Cruel and malicious, you can't stop watching as our jaw keeps dropping. Originally titled Angel, Angel Down We Go - the name was changed to capitalize on the still unfolding Manson Murders. Classy!

Jennifer Jones is EVERYTHING in this one. She get's lines like "In my heart of hearts I'm a sexual clam" and "I made 30 stag films and never faked an orgam"

What's with all the "race bait" designations?

I recently saw a really campy horror film from the 70's called Alice, Sweet Alice starring a very young Brooke Shields in her film debut.

Everything by John Waters except Cecil B. Demented. Mamie Van Doren's 50's and 60's output. Chatterbox is good too. It's about a talking and singing vagina.

That "Poetic Justice" piece of campy crap with Janet Jackson.

by Anonymousreply 25March 19, 2018 7:21 AM

I love that boxset.

Thank God for the moderators! I NEVER would have guessed that a thread asking about cult movie collections was actually a sneaky way of promoting race hatred. This internet stuff is SO insidious.

"The Baby" with Ruth Roman ('70s flick about an adult baby) never fails when it comes to cult/camp thrills.
