VHS : Greaser's Palace
I'm surprised at how many people have missed that this movie is a not
to subtle send up of Bergman films. The lady who undergoes tragedy
after tragedy, represents long suffering humanity, and there is
a scene where Jesus is leading his followers over the hills, that
came straight out of "The Seventh Seal". Nonetheless it is a wonderful
movie, but perhaps not for the faint of heart, or overly religious.

2.Putney Swope starring: Alan Abel, Buddy Butler, Robert Downey Sr., Joe Fields, Allen Garfield

VHS : Putney Swope
Not long into "Putney Swope" does one figure out that in no way, shape or form could this film be made today. It is irreverent, politically incorrect to the hilt, evocative of the 1960s and often funny as hell.

When Putney (Arnold Johnson) becomes the chairman of the board of an all-white advertising company, things change. The dialogue is stiltingly absurd but the real "star" is Putney, himself. His other-worldly voice has a raspy and cutting edge charm and he dispenses logic and advice like an edge of a ripsaw. Robert Downey created a masterpiece with "Putney Swope" and even though it won't be everyone's cup of tea, taken in context of the times in which it was made, it is refreshingly candid, downright offensive and wonderfully made.

This is the "Best" worst movie that I've ever seen.There are some good actors and an entertaining story line. I love cinema and I deem this effort valid. Of course there's no accounting for taste. Judge for yourself.

I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it years ago. I was looking to buy the DVD version only to find it is only available on VHS and I already have my old copy. If I can state it is a Gay Comedy then people will know what they are getting. Some of the comedy is outrages and some subtle. Definitely want to pull out that old VHS to see it again!

And yes, I gave it 5 stars. Its greatness is in how bad it is. It's even edited poorly...And yet this is what makes it hilarious. Although there are a few jokes that are actually quite funny. I agree with other reviewers that the soundtrack is awesome - Nick Lowe, Cheap Trick, Boomtown Rats, Iggy Pop, etc. I put this right up there with "Boom!" as one of the best bad movies ever made. Even though he disowned the film and his involvement in it, Ron Liebman as Major Vaughn Liceman is priceless. "Say it Again!"
