ACAPULCO GOLD
Made in 1973, this independently produced documentary deals with the subject of marijuana harvesting, cultivation, transportation, distribution and finally inhalation in the United States. The bulk of the film is constructed as a series of adventures by a group of college guys using cameras to document their investigations into how to secure a large supply of marijuana. They interview various American growers ('experts'), test 'wild' marijuana in the American mid-West, then travel to Mexico to seek out the 'super weed' cultivated in the hills outside of Acapulco, eventually smuggling it into the States.

ANDY KAUFMAN "STICK AROUND"
TV pilot for the never before aired show Stick Around starring Andy Kaufman as Andy the robot, a servant robot in the near future. Using the voice that would one day become the signature voice of Latka Gravas on Taxi, Andy bumbles through the show with natural charisma, humor and innocence. Believe us, there is a good reason this show never made it to TV; but for Andy fans, it is a true God send.
Special features: A great collection of out takes from the show.

ANDY KAUFMAN ON FRIDAYS VOL. 1
Now is your chance to see the most infamous moment in the bizarre career of Andy Kaufman!
For those who don't remember, Fridays was ABC's attempt to compete with NBC's hugely popular Saturday Night Live. The only problem was Fridays wasn't a very good show, kind of like what Saturday Night Live is now. So to boost ratings, the producers asked Andy Kaufman to be a guest host. Andy agreed, but only if he could come up with some acts of his own. The rest is TV history! This tape contains the full hour-long live TV appearance Andy made on Fridays as host. See him wreak havoc on the set and cause a live fight between himself and the cast, plus a lot more! Amazing stuff to say the least. This video contains original commercials.
Special features: Andy Kaufman’s apology

ANDY KAUFMAN ON FRIDAYS VOL. 2
You'd think the producers of Fridays would have wanted to keep Andy Kaufman off of the show after the insanity his first appearance created, but in a guaranteed move to help boost the failing shows ratings, they once again asked Kaufman to come back and host. He took them up on their offer, but only if he could write some extensive material for the show. With their hands tied, the producers said yes. The performance he delivered is what many Kaufmanites consider his finest hour. Andy hosted the entire show as a born again Christian, complete with gospel sing along's, moral posturing and the introduction of his Christian fiancée! In the realm of conceptual comedy, it doesn’t get any better or more original than this. Special features: Andy’s rarely seen New Years episode appearance

BIRTH OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC
This disc starts off with a two-part filmstrip detailing the history of electronic music. Part one looks at the history from 400 BC to 1950. Part two picks up in the 50's and takes us into the early 70's. Profiling such artists as Paul Hindemith, Walter (Wendy) Carlos, and such electronic instruments as the Dynamaphone and the Ondes Martenot. Following this is the truly amazing Sid Laverents' outsider film Multiple SIDosis. Made in 1969, the film finds Sid waking up Christmas morning to discover that his wife has given him a Akai M8 reel to reel recording deck. Sid immediately begins recording a multi tracked version of his song Nola. The film has a strange almost psychedelic quality once Sid reaches his full multi track recording abilities. Needles to say, this a must see work of bizarro art.

CONFESSIONS OF A BLUE MOVIE STAR
The film begins as a documentary about the making of a porno film. During the 14-day shoot the leading lady, Claudia Fielers, commits suicide. Quickly the film goes from documenting a porno film production to documenting a snuff film. An un credited narrator equates Fielers’ suicide and the very business of pornography to that of snuff filmmaking while an unexpected Hell’s Angel biker, wearing a paper bag over his head, introduces “real snuff” footage (which is actually nothing more than Last House on the Left out takes!). As the documentary progresses, facts become more and more muddled and the actual authenticity of it grows more and more questionable. It’s hard to tell once the film concludes whether or not we have just seen a documentary or a mockumentary. No matter what the film is, it's certainly fascinating to watch unfold, without a doubt a near genre unto itself.

EXHIBITION
From the director of Clockwork Banana Jean-Francis Davy & starring the Linda Lovelace of French porno Claudine Beccarie, Exhibition was the first hard-core porno film to be screened at the New York Film Festival in 1975 and it was marketed under the tagline “The First Film to Break the Censorship Barrier of U.S. Customs”. Exhibition is much more a documentary with hardcore scenes than it is a hardcore film and lucky for the viewer, it is an engaging and interesting documentary. It’s a documentary on the French porno industry and more so it is a documentary on that industries biggest star at the time, Beccarie. We learn about her views on sexual liberation her childhood fantasies, where she sees herself in the future and more. We also get a look at the making of a porno film and the distribution of the film as well. The film also features “man on the street” interviews that discus adult film with regular people on the Paris streets

GODSPEED, YOU BLACK EMPEROR
Asian 1976
This obscure documentary is director Mitsuo Yanagimachi's first film. Documenting the exploits of the Japanese biker gang, The Black Emperors, from their "club" meetings to some near rumbles with other bike gangs, the film crew is allowed into just about every aspect of the gang’s existence. Watching this film certainly shows the vast difference between Japanese bikers and American bikers which happens to be a monumental difference with the Japanese gangs seeming more like a social club than a lifestyle. Turned into a much sought after cult film thanks to the band of the same name, this subtle documentary is certainly deserving of its new found fame.

HEAVEN'S GATE TRAVEL TAPE
That wacky southern California religious cult, the Heavens Gate! All the males castrated themselves, put on Nike tennis shoes, then committed suicide with poisoned pudding in order to catch a comet passing by that day. Why? Well, here's the video they filmed to explain their agenda and prove that they are correct and on the right track. The best part about this video is that instead of declaring their doctrine to be true and fact while damning all other religion and civilization, the leader simply says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I'm God." Spend an hour with a creepy old man who eventually cuts his penis off and ends his life eating pudding. Also featured on this disc is the religious cult documentary The Love Prophet and the Children of God, a documentary detailing the antics of David Berg and his more than 50,000 religious fanatics.

MOTEL
Produced in 1989, Motel is a documentary about three mom & pop run motels in the South Western United States. The movie is directed by Christian Blackwood, who was the cinematographer on the film Thelonius Monk: Straight, No Chaser, as well as director of documentaries on Roger Corman, John Huston & the Sundance Grand Prize winning film Private Conversations: On the Set of `Death of a Salesman’. With Motel Blackwood seems to have a knack for capturing real life as it is, without any filter or ego, and that is what makes the movie so special. The stark, open setting and the easy going honesty of the subjects give the film a very personal feel even though it never really seems to be taking any kind of objective view of anyone or anything featured on screen. In many ways it feels like a Frederick Wiseman film, the biggest difference being that in Wiseman’s world social institutions are usually the subjects of interest and in this film we are spending time in a capitalistic environment. A highly recommended, little seen gem that captures America in a very pure way!

OUR ENEMY: THE JAPANESE
After Pearl Harbor the Japanese became public enemy #1 in the United States and this collection of vintage propaganda films shows the various ways our government used the medium of film to view the Japanese as a race of raging lunatics out for our blood. Ranging from insanely racist works like “Our Enemy – The Japanese” to the almost mundane attempt at understanding another culture “Children of Japan”, this collection shows how the eventually dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki became an almost afterthought in the minds of most Americans.

SANDSTONE
This very 70’s, home movie like documentary chronicles the goings on at the Sandstone Retreat, a 15 acre estate in the Santa Monica Mountains. Sandstone was a clothing optional, open sexuality resort that was written about in the Joy of Sex. Many of the residents partook in the swinger’s lifestyle, while some just enjoyed the freedom of the nudist environment, and this documentary shows both sects of people living with the resort in full harmony. One of the more memorable residents of Sandstone is the traveling gynecologist who has a mobile examination table set up inside his van, complete with mirrors so the patient can watch what he’s doing! Then there is the young couple whom we follow from their arrival, to their sampling of the recreation, to the man’s decision to withdraw, only to discover that his wife has been more popular than he is, and scored more often. What follows is an argument, as he tries to force her to leave, she has become quite comfortable and doesn’t want to talk to him about it at all. Sandstone has a truly intimate, “as it happens” feel that makes for great, time capsule viewing. A truly entertaining and naturalistic documentary about a long lost place in time.

SERGE GAINSBOURG COLLECTION
Featuring an exhaustive plethora of live clips and interviews, this two hour collection is a must own for any Serge fan. Starting off with a very early TV performance, the disc burns through the years of brilliant musical output in chronological order giving the viewer the proper setting to take in Gainsbourg’s continually blossoming gifts as a songwriter. See his work with protégés France Gall & Francoise Hardy, as well as duets with Bridgett Bardot and wife Jane Birkin. One of the most intriguing moments on the disc is a lip synched performance of songs from Histoire de Melody Nelson in which Gainsbourg stands on an empty stage with a seemingly indifferent stare, smoking cigarettes when he should be singing. Needless to say, this collection is a true treat for fans of Serge Gainsbourg and French pop music in general.

1960's Psychedelic music came from all corners of the United States but no location gave us more boot stomping, head tripping, wonder than the wonderfully weird state of Texas.

Zakary Thaks – Corpus Cristi Texas; 13th Floor Elevators – Austin Texas; Southwest F.O.B. – Dallas Texas; Sir Douglas Quintet – San Antonio Texas.

TEENAGE SUICIDE/NUTRITION
Do you remember an 80's TV show called That Teen Show? Yeah, we don't either. That may have something to do with the fact that it was so bad it was cancelled after one episode. And this is that amazing episode! Apparently someone thought the best way to capture the interest of the after school special crowd was to have Haywood Nelson a.k.a. Dwayne Nelson from TV's What's Happening talk to Hervé Villechaize a.k.a. Tattoo from TV's Fantasy Island about his many attempted suicides and how he learned to love life. The irony of this is the fact that Hervé did finally commit suicide 10 years after appearing on this show. The rest of the program is devoted to depressed kids explaining their failed suicide attempts and how other kids shouldn't’t follow in their footsteps. Also on this disc is the great 1970's educational film All American Meal, which tries to figure out exactly why the "all American meal" has become a hamburger, french fries and a Coke
