But I will certainly give anything that isn't shot on video a chance. (And it looks like Killer Barbys just makes that cut, with his follow-up, Tender Flesh, being the last non-SOV Franco film.)

It sounds like you still have a bounty of Franco to concern yourself with before getting around to his much later work. Even just concerning yourself with what's already available on English friendly DVD and Blu-ray will take you some time.

There are still so many great Franco films that have never received a decent boutique label English language release; THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR (1973), SHINING SEX (1977), SEX IS CRAZY (1981) and many more.

I saw my first Franco film; VAMPYROS LESBOS, some 25 years ago. I'm not sure how many Franco films I've seen but it's a lot. Be careful, once you breach a certain threshold Jess Franco films become an addiction!
