The unseen wonders keep piling up, but here are a few unwatched films that I've bumped up to the top of the stack, just because they look so . . . well, you decide what they look like. They are:

Public Access Hollywood (2004). From the website: "Public Access Hollywood goes behind the scenes of public access in Los Angeles to follow some of its most prominent stars. The doc features Francine Dancer, a down on her luck bikini go-go dancer who claims to have the #1 public access show.

Also included are Giddle Partridge (of the Partridge Family Temple), Rudy the Rubber, and Zuma Dogg. And this guy:

Goodbye 20th Century (1984 - Macedonia). Post-modern satirical fantasy from Macedonia-- who knew! The filmmakers called it the first of a new genre: ethno-groovy. As you can tell from the poster, the main character is actually Santa Claus, but this one is so sick of humanity that he decides to destroy it. Ho, ho, ho, motherfuckers!

Supersonic Man (1979 - Spain), starring Cameron Mitchell. How can I resist a nearly 30-year-old Superman Euro-ripoff that's supposedly "right down there with the most incoherent movies ever made", one where the hero "looks like Ted Kennedy in tights." How can you resist?
