I'm partial to DRIVE-IN. Wholesome and meandering, with a couple of good gags, country music, and cameos from S. F. Brownrigg actors.

It appears that
Northville Cemetary Massacre will be getting a legitimate release on Halloween.
DRIVE-IN is a lot of fun with a great soundtrack. I assume it got an LP release but how about a CD?
But if you haven't seen PARALLAX VIEW yet, go for that one soon. I say that one's the best on the list.

THE PARALLAX VIEW is worth checking out. Admittedly, the plot is outlandish, but the film contains a few amazing scenes that make the whole thing worth watching. The cinematography and performance by Beatty are both excellent. If it matters, the THE PARRALAX VIEW is neither an exploitation or cult film, but it is a good movie.
If you're going to watch GAMBLING CITY, I reccomend skipping to the car chase at the end of the movie. The chase is brief, but phenomenal. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is long and aggressively boring. The action that one expects from an Italian crime film is replaced here with melodrama. Lead actor Luc Merenda does nothing to dispell my belief that he was just a pretty boy who couldn't act. The score is annoying.
I picked up a VHS tape of THE FIGHTING FISTS OF SHANHAI JOE last week. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but if it's anything like the other spaghetti western/kung fu movie that I've seen, THE STRANGER AND THE GUNFIGHTER, I'm going to like it a lot.

FERPECT CRIME!
Sublime black comedy from ACCION MUTANTE director Alex De La Iglesias. Eh, so maybe the ending doesn't quite live up to the first half...but that's hardly a criticism.

Is that the Charles Nizet SLAVES OF LOVE on your list? If so I say give that a spin. It'll tie in with the season premiere of LOST tonight. :P

Yup, that's the one! I started it way back when but got tired from all the walking in it. :D
