I was never big on watching cult or exploitive films of the sixties. I grew up with that stuff and generally worked hard to avoid those films so I could get to the good stuff. But I know there has always been an audience for much of this. I can watch those drive-in compilations of teasers and trailers.....but in small doses.

My one weakness in this genre were Russ Meyer films. That man had a kinetic style of filmmaking that is mesmerizing at times -- and he was usual a one man band working out in the Arizona desert.
