42nd Street Fever

A thread dedicated to Exploitation/Cult Cinema and its subgenres on Blu-ray!

There are also many people who, understandably, do not wish to see a label-specific thread full of non-label related talk so a few of us figured it would be a good idea to create this thread as a "home base" for everyone who wants to participate in these open discussions without bothering those who just want to catch up on their favorite labels.

So if you're into cult/exploitation/euro/horror/trash or "Cinéma Fantastique", if you will, this is the place for you!

We are not associated with any specific label, boutique, or retailer. We talk about it all and it is good! And everyone is welcome and encouraged to contribute - all we ask is that everyone respects one another and keeps things positive, clean, and fun!

Welcome to our new digs!

You're welcome! Thank DrEricVornoff when he shows up. He's the one who lit the fire under this idea.

Will I enjoy Orgy of the Dead if I'm gay (and a rapper

)?

Orgy of the Dead is enjoyable if you like campy nudie cuties no matter your preference IMO...

I really need to revisit that Image set, it's been years.

The film detective is reportedly doing pressed blu rays of everything from that dvd set.

drumlewi · 11-12-2020, 05:11 AM

Great idea for a thread! DrEric I saw you mention Cozzi in another thread recently. If you have never seen it Contamination is great.

Their site kinda makes them look like a bootleg company... how are their releases?

They are legit, here is the trailer for the their upcoming 4k restoration of Giant from the Unknown !!...........

moviegeek1992 · 11-12-2020, 12:19 PM

Great idea for a thread. It'd also be a great place to get recommendations and opinions on recently announced titles plus questions about the more obscure movies which might otherwise go unanswered in some of the fast moving label threads.

anthony21879 · 11-12-2020, 12:28 PM

I'd give all y'all thumbs up, but lost my rights sometime last night

Ohh... and I thought the new Aladdin sucked.

Looked like a stage play. Things like you could tell the street people were wearing makeup supposed to look like dirt. Presentation looked fake. However the female lead was scrumptious

. I'll be getting it on blu.

Dk8819 · 11-12-2020, 12:38 PM

I left a really large Cult/Exploitation group on FB a year ago when I left FB due to a fight with one of the mods ( I was one at the time) and these are the type of movies we went over. I have missed that type of atmosphere for a while. Look forward to seeing what the discussions lead to.

I watched the clothed version. The unrated cut has bush. Yuck.

I hope this thread will serve as a safe haven for us opinionated folk and we won't have to put up with ridicule if we make comments like the bolded above. Everybody likes what they like. Moving on.

This thread needs a mascot. I nominate Peter Bark.

Anyone have any thoughts???

It's not a great film but i like it & will be picking up the blu ray. Those expecting a straight up horror/slasher might be a bit disappointed by it. I like it for all the movie references in it as the main character is a movie buff & there are some great LA locations used.

bergman864 · 11-12-2020, 01:29 PM

Now we can talk about a director's work that's spread across multiple labels. Guys like Lucio Fulci and J.R. Larraz.

Dk8819 · 11-12-2020, 01:36 PM

I can't be the only one who wants to see loaded editions for some of the early Fulci comedies and his excellent Spaghetti Westerns. Not enough appreciation for films like The Swindlers, 002 operazione Luna, The Eroticist, Four of the Appocalypse and Massacre time.

classicmaterial · 11-12-2020, 01:42 PM

So is this a thread where it's safe for me to inquire about fun, trashy films that feature notably large round mounds of flesh without the posts being deleted?

I may be a scumbag but I'm still a trash cinema fan who's always looking for something fun to enjoy
