If you stumble across this you may as well keep going. There is nothing here except a note to myself.

I found myself with a large number of no budget independent movies. Many of them weren't worthy of notice but there were a few gems that had a fresh non-Hollywood feel. The listing here was originally to help me track what I had watched. Just a title and four or five screen shots to help jog my memory.

It expanded into old horror, exploitation and noir B films which I also had quite a number of. Then a bit of more current stuff and even a few mainstream big name Hollywood releases. The  number of screen shots grew with some detailing the plot, on other films it focuses on the cast and with some they are just pretty random.

The screen shots were pretty conservative. There were a couple porn parodies or versions of horror films though the screen shots showed no nudity except possibly on the DVD cover.

Texas Vibrator Massacre (2008)

The inclusion of a documentary on Dick Drost and the Miss Nude America contest brought such interest that at least for a period of time the general trend of the screenshots had less of a PG rating trend to them.

Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)

 The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)

What a pleasure to return, by chance, to an age of cinema when 

visual trickery, emaciated plot and stereotypical non-characters 

were not the norm! The basic situation of the story, ... is that 

two nations have simultaneously detonated nuclear bombs in their 

Cold War induced weapons testing hysteria, and have shifted the 

axis and orbit of the Earth with the result that the planet is 

headed for collision with the Sun. This premise unfolds gradually. 

Today, we would be shown, during opening credits, a slick computer 

generated graphic of mushroom clouds and the Earth from space, 

sailing through the cosmos toward destruction. (Richard McDonald IMDB)

A group of young adults are trapped on a desert island 

only to find the water inhabited by a violent form of 

flesh eating organisms.  (IMDB)

Rats Night of Terror (1984)

 Rats Night of Terror (1984)

aka

Rats - Notte di terrore 

One hundred years after a nuclear war has devastated the planet, society 

has been reborn into two factions; the underground society and the scavengers 

above in the wastelands. A group of scavengers on bikes come across a town 

infested with flesh eating rats, and soon the gore is spilling everywhere.
