A while ago I said I'd try to compile a list of mail-order places for
|
|
everyone's convenience. Here is an update including more recent
|
|
postings. Please email or post additions, corrections, and comments
|
|
relevant to the various categories. I am also interested in listing
|
|
places to avoid. I intend to post this FAQ monthly, and I also plan
|
|
to set this up with news.answers just as soon as I get my act together
|
|
and follow the mysterious and complicated protocol (April? 1993?).
|
|
|
|
As Erkka Varjo says, "When adding to list, please state which
|
|
standards (i.e. NTSC/PAL-M/PAL-N/SECAM) each outlet is able to offer.
|
|
That way each and every European doesn't have to write to the
|
|
mail-order places in US to ask that and vice versa." Also, info on
|
|
rentals and Beta/LD would be useful.

I know that CCC Enterprises produces most of

their videos directly from laserdisc. Some of CCC Enterprises movies
|
|
are duped right from awful videos and the quality is very poor. For
|
|
example, I bought SWORDSMAN 2, and the copy is horrendous. CCC Enter-

prises charges only $8 for these poor dubs; $15 for videos transferred

|
|
Eccentri-Cinema transfers almost all of their videos from 16 or 35mm.
|
|
Unfortunately, this doesn't hold true for many of the Asian titles
|
|
because the films are difficult to get. Their Asian masters, however,
|
|
usually come from 16 or 35mm. The quality is usually excellent. Three
|
|
titles I received (of about 250) are poor quality, but it is noted in
|
|
the catalog that these films are rare, so the quality suffers because
|
|
of lack of availability. These titles are BLAST OF THE IRON PALM,
|
|
SEX AND ZEN AND THE ORGY OF SCREAMING VIXENS, and HARDBOILED. Nearly
|
|
all of their videos are $15 with the exception of most of the Asian
|
|
titles ($20) and the following films ... AMUCK! - $17, BLOOD AND
|
|
LACE - $17, BREAKFAST AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE (uncut) - $17,

|
|
I have ordered about 200 movies from NYUE, and about 12 - 15 I sent
|
|
back. Sometimes the very top portion of the picture will not track.
|
|
The result is an annoying wiggle in the top part of the frame.
|
|
Sometimes the catalog indicates that the movie is sub-titled when it
|
|
isn't. Overall, I have been pleased, and the service is EXCELLENT!
|
|
NYUE dupes all of their films, but the quality is usually pretty good.

Video Search of Miami dupes all of their videos, and the quality is
|
|
generally very poor. Don't waste your money if you can find the titles
|
|
elsewhere. Also, you don't get packaging ... just the regular video-
|
|
cassette box (from Certron or some other low-quality videotape). I am,
|
|
however, very impressed by their catalog. They have some nearly
|
|
impossible-to-find titles like THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED (1970), DEMONIA,
|
|
a rare Lucio Fulci film, CRAZY BLOOD, and much more. The cost of all
|
|
of their videos is $25 plus a one-time charge of $10 ... a bit steep

|
|
|
Andrea Juno and Boyd Rice (Re/Search 10: Incredibly Strange Films) are
|
|
ARTISTS: they go out of their way in their quest for unusual
|
|
stimulation and take great delight in discovering gems overlooked by
|
|
the common horde. I'm not saying any one approach is "right," just
|
|
trying to sum up attitudes toward the material. It's an interesting
|
|
experience to read all three reviews of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" for
|
|
instance . . .

(The New Edition)
|
|
Kim Newman
|
|
Bloomsbury Publishing Ltd. 1988 ISBN 0-7475-0295-1
|
|
|
|
All of these are in paperback; the Newman book may have been released
|
|
in hardcover at some time, but I've only seen it in paper. The first
|
|
three are mostly devoted to short reviews of zillions of films, which
|
|
will at least give you a notion of the content, if not of their
|
|
artistic merit and actual scariness (which of course is a pretty
|
|
subjective thing anyway). _Nightmare Movies_ is more a history of the
|
|
genre, and is divided into chapters according to basic themes (e.g.
|
|
zombie flicks, psychos, vampires, basically bizarre, etc.); the author
|
|
sticks to films since 1960 or so, and the edition I have goes up to
|
|
1988. Even if you don't wind up finding any gems, they're all quite
|
|
entertaining to read. - mvburke@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (mary virginia
|
|
burke)
|
|
|
|
For a good history of this kind of stuff, you can also try "Splatter
|
|
Movies" by John McCarty. It's a good overview of the history of the
|
|
genre. Also good by him is his history of cinematic madmen, "Psychos".
|
|
I just wish that these had better bindings, because the dang things
|
|
keep falling apart on me after about a year, whether I read them or
|
|
not. The cover comes off, and then pages start to fall out. AARRGGHH!

Cult Movies III, by Danny Peary

|

filmography sources around...
|

[peterme@ocf.berkeley.edu (Peter Merholz)]
|
|
|
|
part of REVIEW: Cult Movies, by Danny Peary
|
|
Cult Movies is an interesting read; full of information, anecdotes, serious
|
|
review. It covers a wide range of films touching upon most major film-genres.
|
|
Those purchasing this book and expecting to find synopsis' and reviews of
|
|
cheapie SF and slasher films will be disappointed. Peary's emphasis is on
|
|
"Art" films and movie classics like "Casablanca" or "The Searchers". In this
|
|
age of *Fast-food Video* people tend to forget the more classical definition
|
|
of Cult Movies which encompassed films which developed a devoted, basically
|
|
word-of-mouth following long after their initial release. These are not
|
|
films which get wide exposure in theatres (with some exceptions) but ones
|
|
that went on to develop their second-wind in art and revival houses.

The 50 Worst Films of All Time
|
|
The Golden Turkey Awards
|
|
Son of the Golden Turkey Awards, by Harry and Michael
|
|
Medved
|
|
|
|
The Medveds seem to have a "Gosh! Wow! Movies!" attitude that is
|
|
alternately frustrating and endearing. I guess if I had to pick labels,
|
|
the Medveds are REVIEWERS: they tell you whether or not they liked a
|
|
particular movie and not much else; Danny Peary (_Cult Movies_) is a
|
|
CRITIC: he will not only review the film, but also place it within a
|
|
historical and artistic context, and, whether or not he likes it, he will
|
|
give credit where (and if) credit is due;
|
|
|
|
Midnight Movies by J. Hoberman and Jonathan Rosenbaum. Da Capo Press/Plenum Publishing. ISBN
|
|
0-306-80433-6. As long as I'm mentioning books for the Cult Movie
|
|
Library I'll restate my recommendation for Hoberman and Rosenbaum's
|
|
_Midnight Movies_. It's not so much reviews as a look at the reasons
|
|
why people go to cult movies and how the whole phenomenon of midnight
|
|
movies got started.
|
|
|
|
From: stame@emunix.emich.edu (Stewart Tame)
|
|
|
|
And for books that give you that "Cult Flavor" without necessarily
|
|
being about cult films, I recommend: The Hollywood Hall of Shame, also
|
|
by the Medveds and Hollywood Babylon, by Kenneth Anger.
|
|
|
|
Joe Bob Goes To The Drive In <Vol. 1 and 2>
|
|
|
|
The Encyclopedia of Horror Movies by Phil Hardy. Harper & Row, ISBN
|
|
0-06-096146-5. Large format 400-page book with lots of excellent
|
|
stills, and reviews (chronologically arranged) of many, many films.
|
|
Mostly US & European. Goes back to silent films, and up to 1984 (in
|
|
the edition I have). Reviews are 1-10 paragraphs, depending on the
|
|
"importance" of the film. They are generally interesting, and try to
|
|
explain significance or innovations in the films, as well as comparing
|
|
similar films. Good effort to list directors, producers, stars, etc.

|
|
Video Trash & Treasures Vol 1 and 2 by L.A. Morse
|
|
|
|
These are small cheap paperbacks with no movies posters or stills. The
|
|
books are collections of short (1 paragraph) movie reviews, organized
|
|
by genre (he calls them "festivals"), with a short essay on each
|
|
genre. The quality of the writing is very high (Morse is a mystery
|
|
writer, though I am not familar with his books) and very funny. While
|
|
he reviews only mainstream 'B's, the PC crowd will find much to be
|
|
righteously offended by. But if you like the kind of movies that seem
|
|
to get mentioned on this newsgroup, you'll enjoy the text.
