<br />
Once again it's time for another edition of the Mad, Bad and Downright Strange Showcase (MBDS Showcase) were we invite some of our Favourite critics / bloggers to pick their essential five films from <a href="http://madbadanddownrightstrange.blogspot.co.uk/p/the-list.html"><span style="color: #888888;">our list</span></a>.<b> </b><br />
<br />
For this latest edition of the MBDS Showcase we are joined by t<a href="https://www.facebook.com/SethGoodkind?hc_location=stream">he illustrator</a>, bad movie blogger and owner of "<a href="http://vhsarchive.blogspot.co.uk/">Lost Video Archive</a>", The Goodkind. This is his showcase.<br />
<br />
As Bryce mentioned in the previous installment of the Showcase, picking among the films on this list is well nigh impossible. As I was scrolling through trying to pick, I was struck by the number of them I loved but hadn’t seen discussed, on my own site or elsewhere. So I deliberately picked five of the most obscure and bizarre off the list. At the same time I tried to keep my list as international as possible. Good thing is they’re all readily available, at least for now. As we gradually transition from physical to digital media, many of the foreign movies we love may become harder to find all over again as the cost of releasing them, one more time, proves too much. This little list is just a slice of a much larger, project to save the good stuff before it’s forgotten. I’m glad I could contribute; call this my own top five to see before you die.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>El Espejo de la Bruja</strong></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c187/TStatic/mirror-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c187/TStatic/mirror-2.jpg" width="320" yya="true" /></a></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
Cine Mexicano has been around just as long as Hollywood, and like its northern neighbor it suffers no lack of low budget horror and exploitation fare. El Baron de Terror, is probably the better known Chano Urueta film, but I prefer his Espejo de la Bruja. Helen is shunned and poisoned by her husband, who promptly marries his mistress. His housekeeper Sara however, will having nothing of the fickle sexual appetites of men and wastes no time soliciting the help of darker powers to enact Elena’s beyond-the-grave vengeance. I love the fact that witchcraft, a typically “bad” power associated with women, is here used in a positive context to repudiate patriarchal arrogance. On its surface The Witch’s Mirror may look like a typical gothic horror flick, but for 60’s Mexico (and the US for that matter) this atmospheric paradigm shift is nothing short of amazing. <br />

<strong>Challenge of the Tiger</strong> </div>

<br />
<br />
Bruce Lee may have died too soon, but at least he made an impact sufficient to generate years of impersonators and many hundreds of films. From Bruce Li, Bruce Leung and Bruce Leong the misadventures were many, but Bruce Le takes the cake for his spirited channeling of the master in this awesome and bizarre actioner-cum-comedy. Le plays a campy Lee to co-star Richard Harrison’s low-rent, lecherous Bond to foil a nefarious plot to sterilize the world’s men. Supposedly directed in part by both stars, each takes a turn providing some of their trademark moves, and with the ridiculous dubbing, plot twists, bull-fights and boobs, you’re in for something like three laughs a minute. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The Devil’s Sword</strong> </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/auteurs_production/images/film/the-devils-sword/w448/the-devils-sword.jpg?1326575221" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/auteurs_production/images/film/the-devils-sword/w448/the-devils-sword.jpg?1326575221" width="320" yya="true" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Too often national cinema from small countries outside the United States has little choice but to emulate the Hollywood model as best they can. In Indonesia however, things took a much more parochial spin. Four evil warriors will stop at nothing to possess The Devil’s Sword, a weapon that grants it’s bearer unbelievable power. Good warrior Mandala however, is more than prepared to do the stopping for them. In battle after mind-boggling battle, Mandala dispatches all manner of nefarious baddies, from crocodile men to headless witches to screaming rock trolls. The Devil’s Sword is a visual smorgasbord of Indonesian flavor that is not soon forgotten. <br />

<strong>Mo (aka Boxer’s Omen)</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d7b6551a6597b062d1d4c6655da378af/tumblr_mhphzauVEr1s05s6io7_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d7b6551a6597b062d1d4c6655da378af/tumblr_mhphzauVEr1s05s6io7_1280.jpg" width="320" yya="true" /></a></div>

Shortly before folding, Shaw Brothers Studios in Hong Kong, most famous for their kung-fu, produced a gaggle of horror flicks. Many among these were Chinese spins on premises already familiar to USAmerican audiences, others, like Boxer’s Omen, were completely out of left field. My friend described this film as a Chinese Buddhist version of Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain minus the feel-good existentialism, plus martial arts. All necessary but not sufficient conditions to experience the gross-out good time that is an unforgettable, life changing movie. As far as I’m concerned, all supernatural gore horror owes a debt to Mo, whether they know it or not, for this is the lost legend among the genres highest peaks. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Blood Freak</strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.triskaidekafiles.com/storage/images/blood-freak/BloodFreakCap_015.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1260372050098" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://www.triskaidekafiles.com/storage/images/blood-freak/BloodFreakCap_015.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1260372050098" width="320" yya="true" /></a></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I had initially picked another film to write about here, but I realized how terrible it was and opted instead for this film, one I can’t believe forgot the first time around. Blood Freak is billed on the Something Weird DVD case as “The world’s only turkey-monster-anti-drug-pro-jesus-gore film,” and it is, but that’s an understatement. Freshly returned from The ‘Nam, Herschell is looking for a job and a girlfriend, but he’s not prepared for either. After meeting two sisters, one born-again, the other turned-on, and landing a job as “tester” at their dad’s turkey farm, Hersch has soon transformed into monster who slakes his thirst with the blood of drug addicts. A basement budget gem from the golden age of USAmerican exploitation, Blood Freak is the height of camp from an era when it was all deadly serious. </div>

<br />
It's time once again for another edition of the Mad, Bad and Downright Strange
Showcase (MBDS Showcase) were we invite some of our Favorite
critics / bloggers to pick their essential five films from <a href="http://madbadanddownrightstrange.blogspot.co.uk/p/the-list.html">our list</a>.<b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This time we are joined by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664">Bryce Wilson</a><span class="caption"> </span><span class="caption">Critic / Filmmaker / Factotum who not content with running his insightful blog <a href="http://thingthatdontsuck.blogspot.co.uk/">"Things That Don't Suck"</a> more recently</span> added eBook author to his C.V with the release of his debut <b>"Son of Danse Macabre"</b> available now on both <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Son-Of-Danse-Macabre-ebook/dp/B009K6Q4UU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349194988&sr=8-1&keywords=Son+Of+Danse+Macabre">Amazon</a> and <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/son-of-danse-macabre-bryce-wilson/1113088647">Barnes & Noble</a>, an update of the Stephen King book which looked at the horror genre from 1950-1980, with Bryce's companion volume now bringing it fully up to date, something that it would seem that King himself has no intentions of doing anytime soon. <span class="caption">This is his showcase.</span>
<br />
<br />
No sooner had I cheerfully agreed to participate in Elwood and co.’s admirable project than I realized I was in over my head.<br />
<br />
There
is of course the sheer weight of the list, and films that I love. But
setting that aside fro the moment there’s the question of “essentiality”
itself. Essential to whom, if I was making a list for a fourteen year
old kid taking their first tentative sniffs at outré cinema, or a 34
year old wearing a an Emperor Of The North Pole T-shirt those are going
to be two very different lists.<br />
<br />
Further complicating things is the
fact that cult film watching is simply different today than it was in
the pre internet era, or even the DVD boom. It used to be that finding out about these films and then
finding them was a very slow organic process. That was what I cut my
teeth on. Now if a kid wants to watch say the collected works of Jan
Svankmajer, or David Cronenberg’s student films, he’s a torrent site and
ten minutes away from doing so. The idea of not just being satisfied,
but being happy with finding it on a third generation VHS dub would
strike that kid as quite possibly pathologically insane. What the hell
is going to strike that kid as rare or outré?<br />
<br />
So basically I
decided to go with my gut. These five films I picked aren’t really
unified by theme but are more of a blend of gateway drugs, mainstream
films, indies and movies that used to qualify as rare. Not a primer, not
a definitive end all be all set. These are simply five films that I
love, but more than that, five films that have painted my love for
movies. It might be harder and harder to define what cult cinema is, but
if these five titles are not it than I don’t want to play anymore.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Repo Man</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-swTBsC_KA6o/USKzg9qn64I/AAAAAAAAA5I/zfIUHELEDxc/s1600/repo+man.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-swTBsC_KA6o/USKzg9qn64I/AAAAAAAAA5I/zfIUHELEDxc/s1600/repo+man.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“Let’s get sushi and not pay!!!”</i></div>
<br />
Call
this one the ultimate cult film of the VHS era. Though I’ve seen Alex
Cox’s masterpiece on the big screen, and own it on DVD, it’s natural
habitat will always be a fuzzy VHS with a homemade label and a
soundtrack that was warped thanks to repeated rewinding to listen to
that part with Black Fad.<br />
<br />
Like the punk it celebrates, and the
wasteland it depicts Repo Man is a film about the glorious joys of the
second hand. Held together by the sheer enthusiasm of its making. Though
Cox’s career eventually succumbed to bloated self indulgence, Repo Man
is a sharp diamond of a movie., which far from being embalmed in its
iconic status still packs all the energy of an atomic blast that’ll
leave you nothing but a pair of smoking feet at the side of the road.<br />

fourteen to except anime as a set of aesthetics, world its kind of
impossible to recreate the “What the fuck am I watching” alienness that
the initial release of Akira created.<br />
<br />
Because that to me is what
Akira represents in cult film, the sheer exhilarating, “Holy crapness!”
of seeing something that you genuinely have no frame of reference for.
For its initial audience Akira might as well have been broadcast from
Mars, or the future or the fifth dimension. As a filmgoer gets older and
more experienced, this sensation comes along less and less and becomes
more and more valued. Witness the vogue for Holy Motors this year.<br />
<br />
But
Akira has to be one of the most potent, from the crack jawed editing of
the opening motorcycle brawl, to the bizarre 2001 meets Jodorowsky
meets a sci fi snuff film climax, from the ultraviolent animation, to
the note perfect atonal soundtrack of chants, gasps and percussion,
Akira practically dares you to tray and contextualize it. This is shock
cinema in every sense of the word at its best.<br />

<br />
But
being a movie geek means more than appreciating the new. It also means
recognizing the old. And The Blues Brothers, a big budgeted comedy
musical is about tapping into as old fashioned cinematic pleasure
centers as the filmmaker could find, despite its Mad Magazine anarchic
sense of humor..<br />
<br />
Perhaps more than any other filmmaker, this side
of George Lucas (can you imagine if the kid who made THX-1138 and
American Grafitti kept, you know, making movies?) I am haunted by the
filmmaker John Landis almost was. In the early stages of his career,
with films like An American Werewolf In London, there is a sense of
Landis as the proto Tarantino. They are the films of a life long film
fan, overjoyed by what he now gets to get away with and tempered by more
than a little disbelief that he gets to get away with it.<br />
<br />
It’s
tempting to blame The Twilight Zone as the film that broke the exuberant
inner fanboy that gave Landis’s work such a signature, but even before
that he had proven himself more than happy to play the work for hire guy
with Trading Places. Whatever the reason The Blues Brothers remains the
greatest tribute to this strain of joyous filmmaking spirit. The work
of a man who has a full studio’s worth of resources in order to tell
this goony little story of two men on a mission from Gad, and craft a
heartfelt valentine to black music at the same time. What’s not to love?<br />

There is simply put no film that embodies the joy of cult fandom
better than Evil Dead 2. I’ve written and spoken about Raimi’s
exuberant valentine to insanity more times than I can count. Suffice to
say any time I begin to get discouraged and depressed by the latests
uncreative, exploitative joyless grab at cult notoriety. Any time I
begin to wonder if it is worth it. All I need to do is watch Evil Dead 2
again and man I start to cackle harder than a mounted deer head that’s

<br />
I’ve chosen this film for a very
specific reason. Originally I had planned to slot a Jarmusch film here,
but neither Down By Law nor Stranger Than Paradise made the list. What
the hell guys?<br />
But Ghost World does just as well, if not better,
because it not only exemplifies the kind of filmmaking I’m talking about
but the sort of fandom.<br />
<br />
When I say I am a film geek as opposed
to a cinephile or a fanboy or whatever euphimism is currently popular I
am saying something very specific. In short, I believe a Film Geek is an
omnivore. A film geek should not only be willing, but eager to try
anything, regardless of era, genre, or spot on the low to highbrow
spectrum. A film geek should be just as excited about the prosepect of a
Carl Dreyer film as they are by a Russ Meyer one. A film geek should
not only appriciate John Carpenter, Sam Peckinpah, and George Romero,
but Buster Keaton and Fracois Truffaunt. As eager to seek their next
cinematic thrill from the most enshrined classic to the nearly forgotten
obscure (I’m on my way to go see The World’s Greatest Sinner right now.
If I don’t return tell Mother I loved her.) As eager to try a Bollywood
dub as a film about two girl’s coming of age in The Valley. Film is a
buffet, and any time I see people limit themselves to one strata or
flavor it just strikes me as odd more than anything else.<br />

It is my belief--and possibly, future crusade--to cement this bizarrely misconceived children's fantasy extravaganza/box office failure into a modern cult film. Rarely do so many forces of the universe align to create such a strange combination of oddities, in this case, those including a young Elle Fanning dressed like an old Madonna, John Turturro sporting Andy Warhol hair and an SS officer's uniform, aggressively awful CGI, and figure skating. The director of Tango & Cash supposedly spent 20 years honing his vision for the classic Christmas tale, incorporating everything from a Nazi allegory to a singing Albert Einstein (played by Nathan Lane). This movie has a song about relativity set to the tune of Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies. This movie has a horrifically creepy computer generated nutcracker urging children to jump from high windows because when it comes to flying, "you'll never know until you try!" This movie has its villain sing a song in front of a tank housing his pet great white shark, holding his last big note as he electrocutes said pet great white shark seemingly because that's the best way the script could think of to establish bad assery. $90 million duds rarely come out this weird.<br />

A horror movie doesn't always have to be seamless to be terrifying, and few films demonstrate that as well as William Peter Blatty's troubled adaptation of his novel Legion. Following the dreadful bore that was The Exorcist II, Blatty took over the reins of his original property in 1990, casting an always solid George C. Scott as the weary Detective Kinderman forced to face the aftereffects of Regan MacNeil's possession from two decades earlier. Blatty's script is astoundingly powerful, with novel-like dialogue that manages to be scarier in words than any special effect. The film's famous hospital-set jump scare speaks for itself, as does a haunting set of performances by a young Brad Dourif and an appropriately weathered Jason Miller. The fact that its main leads are men in their early AARP years only adds to the film's depth, as Scott's Kinderman wears the weight of a life spent observing the horror mankind commits. Mangled by its studio (complete with a tacked on exorcism that makes little sense), The Exorcist III is a tragically underrated and if possible, imperfect masterpiece.<br />

There are certain moments in my life that I feel very proud of, among them, the fact that I saw Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers in the theater at the age of 15 and left believing it to be brilliant. Later generations would come to agree, but in 1997, this big budget sci-fi spectacular just couldn't find a good-humored audience that would accept the marriage of kickass action and political satire. The<br />
casting of its leads--pretty young people who came across as beautiful as they did empty--seemed like a silly error in post-90210 miscalculation, yet it's the utter blandness of the likes of Denise Richards and Caspar Van Dien that makes their nationalistic characters so on the nose. Never one to not have fun behind the camera, director Paul Verhoeven captures the tongue-in-cheek humor of Edward Neumeier's brilliant script, all the while filling his screen with gorgeous soon-to-be bug meat, strong female roles, classic character actors like Michael Ironside and Clancy Brown, and shockingly good CGI effects that have outlasted the majority of their contemporaries. The third film (directed by Neumeier himself) would recapture that satiric spirit, but it's the original that will always hold a special place in cinema history.<br />

Apocalypse cinema has various incarnations, from the action-based Mad Maxes to the environmental and political warnings of '80s lessons like Threads and The Day After. Despite the common Christian overtones that intentionally or accidentally mark this subgenre (even Xavier Gens named his apocalyptic heroine Eva in 2012's The Divide) most post-apocalyptic films rarely explore the religious angle so quietly dominant in the topic itself. Writer/director Michael Tolkin goes full-out Revelations with his 1991 film The Rapture, following the monotonous life of telephone operator by day, swinger by night Mimi Rogers as she discovers God, starts a family, then faces the end Old Testament style. The film takes an uncompromising look at what faith asks of its followers, rhetorically wondering whether surrendering your life to a supposed higher power is worth the heaven it promises. One can read the film as being an aggressive pro-Christian warning or an angry atheist declaration: the film doesn't come out with answers, yet the effect of the questions it leaves its viewers with is divinely fascinating.<br />

The true beauty of Stuart Gordon's 1987 film lies not in its titular little killers or awesome '80s fashion: Dolls is a special film because of its heart. Designed as a slightly (or extremely) horrific take on a good old-fashioned fairy tale, Dolls is almost a deconstruction of sorts of Hansel and Gretel. On a dark and stormy night, a nice little girl named Judy gets stuck in a spooky gothic mansion lorded by a mysterious elderly couple who keep every room stocked with homemade toys that don't take kindly to strangers' with bad attitudes. At first glance, Dolls is a typical genre film of itstime, set in the same location Charles Band would constantly utilize for other Full Moon titles. And yet on closer look, Dolls is something truly special: a horror movie truly made for kids. There's no sex and hardly any profanity. The only real violence occurs against those who deserve it (a cruel stepmother, absent father, thieving punkettes). The good people live. The bad people...well, live on in creepy doll form. Lessons are learned and a balance of morality is reached. All is accomplished in less than 80 minutes by a game cast, eerie atmosphere, and memorably puppetry. And if nothing else, Dolls taught us all an alternative and far more fun way to pronounce the word "antique."<br />

<b>Seed of Chucky</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With a John Waters cameo, Ed Wood homage, and meta script, Seed of Chucky was never made for the mainstream crowd. Original franchise creator Don Mancini took full control of this fifth installment and created something truly unique for its early 21st century theatrical horror categorization. Where Bride of Chucky (written by, but not directed by Mancini) embraced the humor that had become too cultural to ignore, it still tried to be something of a traditional horror film, focusing most of its action on its conventionally attractive (and typically bland) leads. With Seed of Chucky, Mancini throws convention to the wind, making his main characters a transgendered puppet with a weak bladder and a self-mocking Jennifer Tilly as...Jennifer Tilly. As Chucky triumphantly declares himself proud to be known as "the killer doll," the film becomes a joy-filled celebration of what the Child's Play franchise became to its fans:fairly ridiculous, offbeat funny, and unlike anything else.<br />

Sex zombies, Lynn Lowry in a nurse's uniform, and a random shot of a
guy eating a pickle. Thank you, David Cronenberg for this awesome slice
of 70's madness. Easily one of my favorite 'zombie' movies.<br />

The one Mick Garris directed. Clearly Garris'
finest achievement. There's lots of phallic imagery and there's
subtitles where the titular beasties say <i>'cheeseburgers, no bones!'</i> God,
that's fucking good. I say that all time.<br />

Best. Movie.
About. A. Haunted. Wax. Museum. Ever. I like how when the dwarf butler
bows, you hearing a swish. It's like a vampire, werewolf, zombie,
Marquis de Sade (yep?) movie all in one. And there's a reference to
steak tar tar. What other movies can boast this claim? <br />

Hi there and first off let me start by welcoming you to this
blogging collaboration, whose purpose is to not only provide a 1001 film introduction
to what is possibly some of the most fun, let alone as the title of this blog
states Mad, Bad and Downright Strange cinema that currently lurks out there to
be enjoyed by those not afraid to wander away from the well trodden path of the
cinema mainstream. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Meanwhile for those already familiar with these movies, we
hope to have provided a viewing challenge similar to the one set by the book
“1001 Movies to See Before You Die”, which provided the original catalyst for
this project. For the publishers of that weighty tone settled for a mere 101
cult movies when they compiled their similar list for these movies, something
which I felt that myself and the blogging community could easily top by
compiling our own 1001 list of cult and obscure cinema. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our other intention here is to provide an introduction to
the more brave movie goer, who has a curiosity about these films but no real
idea of were to start, especially when a quick scan through the obscure and frequently
titles under this heading can often prove to be a daunting experience, so hence
our hope that this will provide a fun entry point for these movies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So after several months of ideas, arguments and much heated
discussion we can now present <a href="http://madbadanddownrightstrange.blogspot.co.uk/p/list.html">our list</a>, which takes in multiple genres from
Blaxploitation, Kung Fu, Anime, Horror and even a couple of documentaries to
name but a few, as this titles truly does cover a wide range of sub-genres
perhaps in turn explaining why it is such an exciting area of cinema to
explore, with the intention now we this list is to link each of these titles
back to reviews written by some of the best writers currently working in
blogging community, to help guide you though these titles. Needless to say if
you wish to submit your own reviews which you have posted, for any of the films
on the list. Please visit the contact us section for more details on submitting
your reviews and supporting this project further.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We hope that you will have as much fun working your way
through the list as we had putting it together and that to even the most
hardened of genre fans will still be able to find something new to enjoy within
it, let alone a challenge of watching all 1001!</div>Elwood Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.com0
