     I agree that Buckaroo Bonzai is at the top of the list, and Brazil was

     great.

     I would add, with some slight hesitation in calling them skiffy:

     The Forbidden Zone

     Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (both versions!)

     Amazon Women on the Moon

     Rocky Horror Picture Show

     Arise! (the SubGenius Training Film)

     ..and, of course, the ultra-rare * Chicken Lesbian Vampires from Outer

     Space *, which was shown at an I-Con years ago to a rather

     un-receptive audience. I'd be willing to pay big bucks for a copy of
     that.

     Notes:

     "Forbidden Zone" stars Herve Villechaise (sp?) - you know, that midget
     guy

     from Fantasy Island - as the King of the Sixth Dimension. In glorious

     black and white. It's a musical.

     I include "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" for its philosophical depth.

     Rarely has a movie stayed with me over so many days, contemplating the

     symbolism, forcing me to discuss it with other people (causing some

     embarassment). Watching both the '60's version and the '90's version -

     which are completely different movies - shows some of the changes
     Japanese

     culture has been through in that time.

         What about SHADOWVISION? Shadow Steven's film that not only

         expands the mind, but actually puts something useful into that
         expanded

         mind! And it's funny to boot too!
