Six girls arrive in bizarre ways at a convent-like institution where they are trained by a seventh, who may or may not be a vampire
It turns the bizarre and the weird up to eleven from the first minute, in a way that reminded me Lanthimos. Turns out that Athina Tsangari who directed this one, was also co-producer on a couple of Lanthimos's early movies. However, there is no plot or even characters I could discern, so you are left with a series of highly intriguing vignettes where stuff just happens. There is also awkward dancing. Maybe there is some underlying symbolism, but that escapes me. Still, at only 35 minutes, it is over before it becomes boring or grating.

Outlaw Riders (1971)
https://youtu.be/Ra-6GnnXWY0?si=S8HXu5W2JM2pNjg8
Five bikers (with two girls) rob the payroll office at a factory, but they only have a thousand dollars in petty cash..... At the next town, they try to rob a bank, but the sheriff shows up, a shootout ensues, and three of the bikers get killed......
The remaining two & there girls head down to Mexico, where they get in a fight with a Latino biker gang, who beat them up, take all there money, and abduct their girls to sell them to a brothel.....
So the pair set out after them.....
Pretty okay, in spite of the predictable clichés..... There's even a sense of foreboding in the chase that leads up to something of a twist ending.....

Good Movies / Re: London After Midnight

This is definitely proof of the kind of thing I saw in my youth:
https://www.michaelgebert.com/lam/lam3.html
This website claims LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT was only advertised for sale in this 1973 catalog - but I wasn't alive or reading in 1973.Mail-order catalogs like this were still in business in the mid-to-late 80s and maybe just reprinting similar or identical copy 10-15 years later... 'cause this is pretty close to what I remember.
Note though that the '73 catalogue advertises "dramatic short subjects" - not explicitly "complete feature films". I never worked w/ 8mm celluloid and I don't know offhand how many minutes roughly 1300 feet of 8mm would be when projected at 24 fpm. So, maybe this catalogue wasn't even technically claiming to sell the complete movie - but if it was any amount of LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT, again, that's pretty damn significant!!!
Here's another photo of a catalogue reputedly from 1998!
https://www.michaelgebert.com/lam/lam5.html
Now, here's the frustrating thing about Michael Gebert's website... dude presents the images at the two pages above, then... concludes like RCM that the film was lost in the mid-60s. Okay, I accept that... but that doesn't address what the heck those vendors were selling in the 70s through the 90s! Even if it was a collection of scenes or just a trailer or something... where is that stuff???
Very interesting. Another possibility these listings might even be an error of some kind - like if they are copying older catalog listings directing without checking what they have, that kind of thing. Like perhaps some of the earliest ones were legitimate, and later ones were just copied over. Or they never had it and it was a simple error. Seems like we may never know. I hope it turns out to be legit though, and it turns up in an estate sale or warehouse from one of these places stock getting bought out randomly or something one day.

Last post by Jim H - April 12, 2026, 08:50:02 PMThe Swan Princess - One of the lesser known Disney imitating 90s flicks, with a lot of Disney talent aboard. The animation is decent, at times quite good, but it's never Disney. The voices are a mixed bag - Jack Palance as the villain is woefully miscast. Music is mostly not great. The biggest flop of the film though is the script - why do so few animated films seem to have more than one or two drafts of the script? There's multiple things in this that are barely coherent or just show up without introduction. Sometimes there are cartoon gags or series of gags that barely motivated, like a series of sports pastiches out of nowhere in a chase scene. Watch Beauty and the Beast, which this is clearly inspired by, to see how it all should be done.
All in all, pretty bad, but was worth a watch anyway.

One of the most effed up endings I have ever seen. . . but certainly no shortage of blood and grossout moments.
I was thoroughly entertained!
