And how appropriate to learn from the National Enquirer

r.i.p.!!

Oh no! I love Franco. Vampyros Lesbos and She Killed In Ecstasy are all-time.

I've never seen any of his movies. What are four or five must-see titles?

Something something women prison rape sleaze something something RIP.

The two mentioned above, A Virgin Among The Living Dead, probably Female Vampire.

I imagine he wasn't responsible for the English poster, but he had a knack for titles.

Thought that said Fred Williard there for a moment

A lost Franco film, finished in 1979 and left at the lab when a distribution deal fell through, was recovered and screened last year. It's free on Vimeo with English subs until tomorrow:

Wow, What A Honeymoon (produced as The Gold Bug, after Edgar Allan Poe)

It's still up if anybody wants to grab a download for later!

I guess it's until Tuesday, Spanish time? It features the least offensive yellowface in cinema history.

Thanks - Euro exploitation fare is good comfort viewing right now

(spoilers) uh welp

London Live is showing a Franco movie right now, "Eugenie de Sade", I've never seen one before.

Sorry, but the lead actor's tartan bunnet is very distracting.

That's an odd one.

The first Franco I ever saw was Venus in Furs (aka Paroxismus) from 1969, the one starring James Darren, and based upon a recent rewatch I think it is quintessential Franco, definitely top 5.

That one is very entertaining, the recurring theme song is amazing. My review on Letterboxd was something like, “an art film, in that he films a lot of art.”

For the record the now broken link I posted upthread was a poster for Sexy Erotic Jobb. Up there with Nightmares Come at Night in terms of his titles.
