Phew. Thank you, crimestick. I thought the world had gone even madder than I'd supposed.
Sorry, Sarah. Didn't mean to turn your world upside. That list I put together was actually pretty personal. I guess those movies were all melded together in my mind 'cause they seemed to flow out quite freely as I was drinking my morning coffee while posting this A.M. I think I saw them all at about the same time and at rep theatres. Maybe it was that they were all about misfits, deviants, outsiders, which is what
Doom Generation is about. And, yeah, they're probably all considered either culty, kitschy or camp. I certainly wasn't thinking about their calibre or whether one was at the same "level" as another. Nor was I thinking about any specific canon.
I think I was originally taken aback by the fact that three of this forum's most esteemed members would take the time to comment that
Doom Generation is a crappy film, and to pile on in such quick succession. It seemed funny to me. I mean it's obviously a bad film that's fun to watch - especially if you're holding the loaded slurpee.
Anyway, I am curious as to why you so adamantly think that
Clockwork Orange is in a much different league from the others. Is it because it's directed by Kubrick? Both
Performance and
The Man Who Fell To Earth were directed by Nicholas Roeg, after all.
Gee, even Russ Meyer, although working with marginal themes, is considered a competent director. I just wish his film titles weren't so similar and confusing. Colin, I mean the one with The Carrie Nations, but I'm pretty sure I've seen all of his work (that's available).
