Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)
Is a Splendid Time Guaranteed for All? Depends on How You Enjoy Your 70s Films.
No seriously, WHY HASN'T THIS MOVIE BECOME A CULT CLASSIC YET?! For people unfamiliar, in 1978, fresh off the surprise success of "Saturday Night Fever", iconic music mogul Robert Stigwood decided to turn a 1974 off-Broadway stage musical he had produced into a fantastical cinematic extravaganza. That musical, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road", featured a story that was told using late-period Beatles songs (notably those of both "Abbey Road", and most especially "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"), and while it wasn't all that successful with critics because of it's rather ambitious and fantastical production value, both John Lennon and Paul McCartney themselves had seen it and enjoyed it very much. Stigwood decided to bring together the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton together, alongside a supporting cast of a truly WTF all-star line-up that included George Burns, Steve Martin, Aerosmith, Earth, Wind & Fire, Alice Cooper, Frankie Howerd, Donald Pleasence, Paul Nicholas, and Billy Preston. The problem was that Universal had hoped the film would become "that generation's 'Gone With the Wind'". While the film was a minor box-office success (grossing $20.4 million against a budget of $13 million), the movie would recieve an OVERWHELMING amount of negative reviews, effectively killing the careers of Frampton and the Gibbs (Bee Gees) and, while Earth, Wind & Fire's cover of "Got to Get You Into My Life" and Aerosmith's take on "Come Together" would prove successful, the film might've been an unintentional factor in the beginning of the end of Disco. Only Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr went to go see it at the premiere (and likely didn't think highly of it), while George Harrison would express sympathies to the major blow to the careers of the main cast (Frampton and the Gibbs), and John Lennon had to endure two entire watches of the movie on a delayed airplane trip. Unlike movies like "Xanadu", I can understand why the film was hated so much by both critics and hard-core Beatles fans. And yet, despite all it's flaws... I LEGITIMATELY ENJOY THE MOVIE! I believe it's a time-capsule of the campy, colorful acid-like surrealism of 1970s movies. I won't give away ANY of the plot, but all I can say is if you enjoy stuff like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" or "Phantom of the Paradise", then go watch this movie and let me know what you thought of it. Robin Gibb gives an AMAZING lullaby-like rendition of "Oh! Darling" that (in my opinion) I find highly superior to the original by Lennon/McCartney (not to say their's wasn't classic itself)! Go ahead, watch it, and if you didn't like it, that's okay, but if you enjoyed it, then you can see why I'd like this movie to become a legitimate cult classic one day!
The Farmer (1977)
The Search For The Farmer (Not a Review)
Ah yes. The Farmer. Possibly the most infamous film ever made, since to this day, the only home media was a limited edition blu-ray. The trailers say it's as important as American Dream explotation drama films like Taxi Driver, Easy Rider, and Five Easy Pieces. I will find this film. I will find the reason why they never distributed it on home media. I shall hunt for this movie. I will see whether it's as good as those three, or on par with something like Jaws: The Revenge. And When I do manage to find it, I shall share it to the entire world. I will begin by finding an original 35mm print. The rest is my story.
Edit: Never mind, it is on Tubi.
Boo (1932)
The first YouTube Poop Ever Even Before YouTube?
Yeah, probably. And boy, is it done hilarious. This short is great, not a lit of attention to it, I my opinion,. And don't worry about spoilers, it's just like a YouTube Poop: just random things happening.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
The Ending Made Me Want to Cry
It's a beautiful movie. Until I see Citizen Kane, it's my best movie ever that isn't The 1933 Invisible Man. All the actors do a fantastic job in their performances, including Jack Nicholson as McMurphy and Louise Fletcher as Ratched. What got me most though was the ending. McMurphy was a figure people could look up to, maybe sometimes literally. Seeing him smothered to death with a pillow was the first time I felt tears in a movie in a long time since The Book of Life, and that was a fake-out I cried to. I promised my mother not to cry at fake-out deaths again. Not only was this real, but he was like the greatest guy you could have as a friend. But it wasn't just that part of the ending that made me want to tear. Chief escaping in his place was the most happiest thing to ever happen in a film ever. Especially with the triumphant score in the background. This made me want to cry both tears of happiness and sadness. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was, is, and always will the most beautiful film ever. If you haven't watched it, what are you doing? Get up and stream it right now, and, like me, you will see why it won all five major Academy Awards.
This Island Earth (1955)
Cheesy as Heck, But Gosh Darn Do I Love It
It is great to poke fun at, but you can see why it's so iconic in it's campiness. The alien design especially. If you've never seen this or any 50s sci-fi film, get off your couch and stream it.
Home Sweet Home (1981)
That Car Hood Scene! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just... WOW! I mean, look at that scene! LOOK AT IT! Tell me that's not the most hilarious death filmed in cinematic history. I sure think it is. It just takes that one scene to know you're looking at a masterpiece of so bad, it's good.
Legends of the Superheroes: The Roast (1979)
A Time-Capsule of Bizarreness
My only problem is where's Aquaman? I know Superman and Wonder Woman couldn't make it because they were busy, but Aquaman wasn't. No reviewers I've seen on YouTube mention this, and I wanna know why they couldn't put Arthur Curry in this. Maybe it was overcrowded, or they didn't have a costume and/or budget, but I wanna see him in it.
Arctic Justice (2019)
THE WORST MOVIE EVER! NOT ROOM OR TROLL 2 WORST! JUST WORST!
Dear Aaron Woodley,
My family and I DESPISES this film. Why did I put this under too much consumerism? Because parents and kids are brainwashed by the greedy consumers who helped make the movie, including you. I wish this was for NOBODY, but I am forced to put it under 2 and up. And now, a quote you should take to heart.
"Well, thank you for that gross oversimplification and inaccurate look at the world and human beings. I hope you step on a lego brick in the middle of the night."
