Spike Lee's Dolly Shot

A Supercut of the "Spike shot"

BABYLON

A film of sheer sound and fury, the uncompromising subject matter (it all but anticipates the race riots that engulfed inner cities soon after its 1980 release) and classic reggae soundtrack helped cement Babylon's reputation as one of the most powerful and historically significant documents about the black British experience ever made. "Dreads with cockney/patwa accents, none of this foe american nonsense you hear wafting along the streets today." - Via Afro Saxon

Oops!

Created by Chris Beckman, “Oops” is a film composed entirely of YouTube videos in which the camera is accidentally dropped.

HANDS ON A HARDBODY

HANDS ON A HARDBODY is an endurance contest in Texas where 24 people surround a "Hardbody" pickup truck and put their hands on it. Last person to remove their hands wins the vehicle. And so begins 3 to 4 days and nights of continous truck touching, interrupted only by short restroom breaks. As the physical and psychological stresses begin taking their toll on the contestants, one by one they wilt, flip out, burn out, drop out and go crazy. (A couple of years ago a contestant walked away from the truck and directly into a local K-Mart, where he picked out a 12-gauge shotgun and shot himself in the head.)

I just watched the Hands On A Hardbody documentary about the 1995 competition. The film follows contestants through their ridiculous ordeal, revealing hilarious and heart-warming vignettes about the human spirit. Of the many charming Texan characters in the cast, my favourite is the long-winded yet oddly compelling mechanic Ronald McCowan, shown here:



SO SERIOUSLY, watch this film. Do not Bitorrent it from here because that would be wrong.

BANGLA SEXY TIME

No kissing scenes are shown in cinemas in Bangladesh, it being a strict Muslim country. Even illegal underground "blue" movies shy away from anything sexually explicit, prefering instead to convey the emotion through fiercely erotic choreography, usually featuring a couple so insanely horny that they're humping everything in sight - plants, poles, the floor... This one features a muscular bloke with rapey eyes and a local hottie called Poly.


ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY






Someone has uploaded both El Topo and The Holy Mountain onto Veoh, you have to download the film and get a Veoh player to watch them which is a bit of a pain but definitely worth it. If you don't know, El Topo and The Holy Mountain are 2 films by cult Chilean director, Alejandro Jodorowsky and must been seen, seriously these 2 films are incredible. I think El Topo was John Lennon's favourite film, and he and Yoko funded The Holy Mountain. Anyway, you can read more about El Topo HERE and The Holy Mountain HERE. Below are the links to watch them, please watch them!!!!!

EL TOPO

THE HOLY MOUNTAIN
