Midnight Movies

documentary

Solid piece on six trashy movies that made a big splash on the midnight circuit, becoming social events for transgressive misanthropes and moving the goal lines on what it's permissible to show in an American film. 

They were: El Topo, Pink Flamingos, Rocky Horror, The Harder They Come, Night of the Living Dead and Eraserhead.

Video killed the midnight movie phenomenon but it was great fun while it lasted.
