    No love for Venus in Furs? That's my absolute fave of all his films. I think I must go back and watch all of my VIP discs again...

      I've never actually seen Venus In Furs. There are a lot of his films that I haven't seen. I'm so interested in his 73-78 films I don't often care about much outside of those years. Ian keeps telling me I need to see that one though.

        And for the record, eroticism is always Franco's intent.

          I agree with the first three, haven't seen the other two yet on your list.

          1. Doriana Grey
          2. Ilsa - Wicked Warden
          3. Female Vampire
          4. Downtown
          5. Mansion of the Living Dead

          and I ordered Lorna the Exorcist and looking forward to watching that one. The man makes awesome sleaze and uses swanky jazz in way that speaks to me.

            Haha, check out Paula-Paula if you dig the jazz scores.

              This one is really dumb but I love it too. It's just got loads of atmosphere, enough so that you don't notice the absence of plot so much.

                We can watch Franco the weekend Todd is here if RIJ allows it...

                  Mansion of the Living Dead also features a really cool location. There must be dozens of those "almost abandoned" holiday resorts all over Europe...

                    Yeah, it's just really well put together from a visual stand point. The locations are killer.

                      When it started, I thought I'd hate it -- after a short while, the location and atmosphere won me over, so I ended up really liking it. But not as much as Macumba Sexual...or the much hated by many, but loved by me, Voodoo Passion.

                        Voodoo Passion??? Why do people hate that???

                        Maybe I should give Mansion another shot. I hated it the first time around and couldn't make it through it...

                          I have no idea. But you often see the film lumped in with Franco's worst or, to use that overused quote, "lesser" films. I think it's awesome, and the leading actresses are all stunning. Plus! It has a nifty little political spin at the end. ;)

                            Karine Gambier is awesome.... she's also in Cellblock 9 which is one of my favorites and my only non-Lina favorite. She was also in Gefangen Frauen (aka Caged Women) which is amazing and deserves a thread of its own.

                            That's what we should make Todd watch.

                            That and Mad Foxes. We can make it an all out Eric Falk weekend!

                              I'm hip to it. I love watching this stuff with other people, and never get to. I'd say no one I know likes such flicks, but the truth is, it's me they don't like. It's true, ask Paul.
