Naked Kiss  (1964)  Monday, February 5

Sam Fuller's superbly crafted tabloid melodrama, probing taboo subjects like prostitution, deviancy, and the sanctimony of small towns. Featuring Constance Towers as the hooker trying to go good. A cult classic.
    

Glen or Glenda (1953) Thursday, February 22

Bela Lugosi narrates this film, explaining the difference between a transvestite and a transsexual. Ed Wood Jr.'s ode to the pleasures of the angora sweater.

Dr. Trish Starks' intro to the film.

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966). March 8

Sex, violence, leather, Porsches, and (especially) female pulchritude from the master of sexploitation Russ Meyer. You don't want to miss Tura Satana as the towering sadistic virago.

Chinese Ghost Story (1987)   Monday, March 26

Leslie Ceung plays the effete scholar who falls in love with a beautiful but deadly ghost (Joey Wong). Non-stop martial arts action, Ming Dynasty fantasy - and the amazing Flying Giant Tongue Monster!

I Spit on Your Grave (1978) Thursday, April 5

Camille Keaton (Buster's grand-niece) stars in this rape-revenge movie, one of the most disturbing films ever made. Not for the weak of heart - consider yourself warned!

Blue Steel (1990)  Thursday, April 26

The sublime Jamie Lee Curtis as a female cop romantically pursued by a psychotic killer. Kathryn Bigelow directs this gorgeously atmospheric film that critiques the masculinist romance of gunplay and exposes the disturbing beauty of the revolver.
