Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970)
Way Out There!
I wonder if the writers of the Austin Powers movies drew some inspiration from this film. It's defintley from the same era, and carries the same "everybody-shag-with-everyone" mentality. The movie starts out with a group of hippy-mod girls hoping to make it big with thier all-girl band, "The Carrie Nations". Somewhere along the way, the plot gets confused and turns itself into a plethera of "sex, drugs, & well,..more sex & drugs! Campy? YES!... BAD?.. oh yes, (but in that "GOOD-bad" cult movie way.) Listen to the films' ending, where the narrarator tries to sum up the lifestyles of the people in the film and attempts to draw some philosophical conclusion to the whole mess! Watch this film if your bored and want to see something very different and trippy......
Night Terror (1977)
Great "midnight movie" suspenseful thriller.
After a long search I finally located a copy of "Night Terror" starring Valerie Harper. According to the box, it was issued on home video back in 1990.
Not your typical cheesy 1970's "made-for-T.V." movie. It is very well directed, the acting holds up and is very believable and suspenseful. A great "midnight movie" thriller if you're lucky enough to find a copy!
