Your favorite Grindhouse film?
Thanks to DVD, I've been able to see many true Grindhouse films from the 70's and early 80's (Maniac Cop, Candy Stripe Nurses, The 5 Fingers of Death, etc.).
There's a wonderful amateur artistry in those films, with their depraved, sweaty style, amateurish acting and lightning fast shooting schedules. Will we ever see true quality Grindhouse style films again? We can forget seeing them in theaters (too politically incorrect) and on direct-to-DVD (too unimaginative). I loved "The Devil's Rejects". This film came closest to recapturing that feel. Robert Rodriguez's bizarre splatterfest "Planet Terror" segment of Grindhouse came close also. Don't get me started on Tarantino's "Death Proof", though. 45 minutes of women chattering followed by a mildly interesting car chase? Thanks for helping me catch up on some sleep, Q.T. So what are your favorite Grindhouse films? Help a guy out, okay? I'm running out of stuff to watch! |
