Hey all.
How many "Clip Movies" can you think of? There's probably another, better name for this genre.
I can't think of many.
The ones I remember seeing are TERROR IN THE AISLES:
Error 404 (Not Found)!!1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb7dTxwYXIU#)
And the direct-to-video TERROR ON TAPE:

Any others you can think of? Or have memories of the above? Discuss!

There was a series called THE BEST OF SEX AND VIOLENCE that might have gone a couple of installments.
There used to be VHS tapes that were nothing but trailers, sometimes with a host commenting in-between, lazy, but fun to dream about seeing the movies someday.

There's an Italian movie called Savage Man Savage Beast - that one where a tourist gets turned into dinner by a lion - which has clips like that, also Africa Addio.
FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF (1964) was made of scenes from the AZTEC MUMMY (1957) and LA CASA DEL TRROR (1959), which starred Lon Chaney Jr.
I love it.

Sketch Movie, maybe...
Kinda like Loose Shoes (1978) (AKA Coming Attractions (1978))
I'm pretty sure the CARRY ON movies had a spin-off movie that was comprised just of clips from the main movies? I also thought it was called 'CARRY ON LAUGHING', but that appears to be the title of the tv series spin-off, so I'm not sure...
I think I vaguely recall a tv series like that, but I could be mistaken.
Apparently the tv series was all 'new' material... but it may have been made up of sketches rather than just a regular episode format... the movie was definitely comprised of clips
