Great Cannibal Classics I watched 20 minutes of it until I turned it off in disgust. These motorpsycho creeps go around murdering women and then serving them up at a sleazy diner. Jokes: the first victim's name was Lambe, so they cut off her legs and served them up as "Leg Of Lamb". I highly recommend that you don't rent this flick. There are four short movies. I won't be watching anymore of the last three. yuck! of course, some of you will.

PMS it disturbes me that you would rent something like that to begin with.

The FCC is trying to get control over excessive violence on tv. Their goal is to get all violence removed from television.

The church has a long and bloody history behind it and much of that history is celebrated. Not a lot of sex though and most of that is hushed. The church rules America and it's media.


I also don't recommend cannibal holocaust. Interesting concepts but brutal to watch. Also when you see that ultra realistic looking torture/killing of the turtle thats because it is real. The director later stated that he's unhappy that they did that. Very hard movie to watch.

Yep it continually puzzles foreigners, that the US is very prude about things like women's skin exposed but horrible violence is considered perfectly OK, even good, to show to children. Typical US movie has a murder or 3 and several car crashes, lots of bullets flying, etc.

What's the quintessential European movie? I don't know European cinema very well, being an American and insulated from most of it, but I'll submit 2 examples Americans may have heard of. One is "My Life As A Dog" about a kid who has to move to a different family situation, it's in Cold War Europe and the Russians have sent a dog, Laika, into space. The kid considers his situation to be strange like the dog's situation is strange, and feels a kinship and draws some strength from Laika. And that's it. Unthinkable for a movie like that to come out of the US. My other example is an Italian film, The Bicycle Thief. A man and his son in postwar Italy go out for the day and have pizza. They have a wonderful time in a small, somewhat grimy pizza shop, just being with each other. But, when they leave, they find the father's bicycle is stolen. This is a calamity because the father depends on the bike for his livelihood, hanging movie posters. They look all over for it, and he loses his job. Finally in desperation, he steals a bike, and is immediately arrested. The end. Again, impossible for a film like this to come out of the US - it sympathizes with the little guy. There were a few, a very few, films that sympathized with the little guy right around WWII when the machine needed the little guy to go fight. But not since, and besides, there are no car crashes or rape scenes. The guy doesn't even diddle his son because he's a Liberal. Nope, impossible for non-Amurrikan films to come out of the Empire.

plants , if I remember right I think they steal the dads bike right in front of him while he's up on a ladder gluing posters, decent flick , I knew he was going to eventually try to steal a bike but I thought they'd have him get away with it and then be wracked with remorse
