The Mighty Celestial added 1 item to 150 From Around The World: My Fave Foreign Films list

To be quite honest, this movie may not really be good enough to recommend to anyone or even to include on this list. But I do have it on this list simply because I think it's a great way to start off a list, whether it be about favorite films from other parts of the globe or just about any other subject matter. Plus, any film that can take a tried and true horror genre like vampirism and imbue it with the sexual allure of girl-on-girl action, particularly during the cinematically stiff period of the early 70's, deserves some kind of credit. So, strap-on a wooden stake or a massive black donkey-sized dong, and let's get going on a super-long journey through many of my preferred choices when it comes to foreign language celluloid escapism. Or, if the mention of Vampyros Lesbos makes you feel the inclination, go watch some internet porn. Either way is a good way to "kill off" some time.

BTW, if you think that putting this movie in the last spot is kind of cheating and not true to the nature of a list that's supposed to be about my "favorite foreign films" then just pretend that VL is not on this list and replace it with Murmur of the Heart. It's a French coming-of-age story that also "came out" in 1971, about a boy who's dad is a gynocologist and who has a habit of engaging in some of the more innocent taboos of the day. Like masturbation. Which means he probably would mind that Vampy Lez is on this list.

The Mighty Celestial added 1 item to 20 From 76: My Favorite Films Of 1976 list

Throughout the seventies, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were two comedians whose individuals stars were rising at skyrocketing speed. Then someone came along and decided to pair Wilder's ivory Brook-farce antics with Pryor's ebony-edged street-savvy. And as a result, 1976 saw the first of four Wilder/Pryor movie collaborations. This Murder on the Mid-Western Express missive is usually considered by many as the best of the Gene & Richard comedy vehicles, and for me, it definitely rolls as my favorite of the G'n'R laff-along rides.

In the 90's, after Jackie Chan made the martial arts comedy a force of farce to be reckoned with in the film industry of the Far East, he had involunteerily started a cinematic movement wherein the actions of kung fu fighting would extend past the limits of physical restrictions. In the first decade of the new millenium, following the rise of the subgenre now known as Chop Socky, the door was kicked wide open for other wacky wunderkind warriors like Stephen Chow, star and director of both Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer, two films that have since become the staple of Socky cinema. Taking the absurdity of both the humor and the high kicks from this new style of Asian filmmaking, and cranking 'em up a notch, then placing the plots in unlikely settings, like say that of a soccer field, movies like these prove that when it comes taking Kung Fu to the next level, ya gotta be willing to do the Hustle.

I don't how to describe this movie other than to say it's something along the lines about adopting a baby outside the conventional means.... Or maybe, the way this story pans out, the best I can say is that it's pretty f#cked up. Inside is part of the New Movement of French horror movies in which the stories are presented with a visceral, no holds barred type of attitude. Therefore, this is just one of the very few that movies of that type that can be found on any of my "favorite films lists".

Anyone familiar with the history of space exploration knows that Sputnik was the very first man made object that was placed in Earth's orbit. Built and set off to space by the Russians, and , it was symbol of mankind's lofty aspirations to fly outside of the planet's atmosphere and beyond, despite the Cold War rivalry of the great space race. Sputnik's only function was to circle the globe and send continual beeping transmissions down to Earth. It was a harmless piece of machinery that in the end, demonstrated that when it came to ingenuity of humankind, the sky was truly the limit. Sputnik the movie, was also created by the Russians, in 2020, long after the thaw of the Cold War. But in this film, the "Sputnik" in question is an alien with parasitic tendencies and a taste for human flesh. And with it's ability to control it's host to meet it's appetital demands in a rather macbre version of "how to serve mankind", this Anti-Sputnik shows that it when it comes to human race acting as an "all-you-can-eat" buffet, this orbital nasty is much more of a symbolpc statemants that says that what's down here on the ground is what truly is the limit.
