Hard Rock Zombies 1985
Conceptually this rock horror comedy is brilliant - murdered rockers* rise from the dead (via an enchanted bass riff, natch) to avenge their deaths and battle zombies, ghouls, and Nazis to save Cassie, their most faithful fan. It's far too ambitious for its minuscule budget, but man, do they give it their best shot, and I loved it for that. It's slapdash and amateurish, but in a very endearing way (writer-director Krishna Shah's name being misspelled the second time it…

Jimi Plays Monterey 1986
I'd never seen this in full, and was looking for something relatively brief so I could go to bed at a reasonable hour, but this jacked me up so much I had to chill out for another hour to fall asleep.

At some point during this I became obsessed with how much Jennifer Beals' character must eat in the course of any given day. Can you imagine how many calories this chick must be burning? Welding, flashdancing, fucking, and riding that bike all over Pittsburgh? (And you know she has to walk that dog at some point.) It's exhausting.

Freaky Friday 1976
The excited look on John Astin's face when Barbara Harris calls him "daddy" is the apex moment of '70s Disney kinkiness.
