Jax's Films Seen on YouTube
These are a few films I've seen on YouTube in the past and present. Can't determine the order I saw these in, so I'll just be listing all these movies out by year. Only counting feature length films, not short films, TV shows or documentaries (i.e. A Picture for Harold's Room — it’d be impossible to keep track of every single short I’ve watched and rewatched over the years).

- DirectorEdward D. Wood Jr.StarsEdward D. Wood Jr.Bela LugosiLyle TalbotA psychiatrist tells the stories of a transvestite (Glen or Glenda) and a pseudohermaphrodite (Alan or Anne).I only knew of this filmmaker because of Plan 9 and spending too much time on Wikipedia reading about the worst movies ever made. It's safe to say that he inspired a lot of my films in terms of aesthetics and stock footage use - but I'll give quality over quantity.
- DirectorEdward D. Wood Jr.StarsGregory WalcottTom KeeneMona McKinnonEvil aliens attack Earth and set their terrible "Plan 9" into action. As the aliens resurrect the dead of the Earth, the lives of the living are in danger.
- DirectorIrvin S. Yeaworth Jr.Russell S. Doughten Jr.StarsSteve McQueenAneta CorsautEarl RoweAn alien lifeform consumes everything in its path as it grows and grows.If there's a remake or follow-up today, the little Danny would take the spotlight of McQueen no doubt. Practical effects all the way!
- DirectorHerschell Gordon LewisStarsWilliam KerwinMal ArnoldConnie MasonAn Egyptian caterer kills various women in suburban Miami to use their body parts to revive a dormant Egyptian goddess while an inept police detective tries to track him down.Amateur production at best, but the first splatter of its kind.
- DirectorStanley KramerStarsSpencer TracyMilton BerleEthel MermanA group of motorists witnesses a car crash in the California desert, and after the driver's dying words indicate the location of a hidden stash of loot, they turn against each in a race across the state to get to it.
- DirectorRalph NelsonStarsCliff RobertsonClaire BloomLilia SkalaAn intellectually disabled man undergoes an experiment that gives him the intelligence of a genius.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsTony MusanteSuzy KendallEnrico Maria SalernoAn American expatriate in Rome attempts to unmask a serial killer he witnessed in the act of an attempted murder - and is now hunting him and his girlfriend.First giallo I had to be introduced with, right up with Suspiria.
- DirectorMichael ArmstrongAdrian HovenStarsHerbert LomUdo KierOlivera KatarinaIn 1700s Austria, a witch-hunter's apprentice has doubts about the righteousness of witch-hunting when he witnesses the brutality, the injustice, the falsehood, the torture and the arbitrary killing that go with the job.Heard about this solely from a GoodBadFlicks exploring video; dated gore effects.
- DirectorDavid E. DurstonStarsBhaskar Roy ChowdhuryJadin WongRhonda FultzA group of Satanic hippies wreak havoc on a small town where a young boy whose sister and grandfather were victimized by them tries to get even--with deadly results.I've seen the old trailer on YouTube many times as a kid and just had to see it in its entirety. I guess I've gotten too obsessed with researching on the Rodriguez and Tarantino collab, Grindhouse. I guess it also has to deal with the fact I'm an old soul.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsDennis WeaverJacqueline ScottEddie FirestoneA business commuter is pursued and terrorized by the malevolent driver of a massive tractor-trailer.
- DirectorHarry KümelStarsDelphine SeyrigJohn KarlenDanielle OuimetWhile passing through a vacation resort, a newlywed couple encounters a mysterious, strikingly beautiful countess and her aide.
- DirectorLarry HagmanStarsRobert Walker Jr.Gwynne GilfordRichard StahlA technician brings a frozen specimen of the original Blob back from the North Pole. When his wife accidentally defrosts the thing, it terrorizes the populace, including the local hippies, kittens, and bowlers.Because the original Blob is presented on TV here, I assume the first film was apocryphal or only loosely related. If there's a sequel or reboot today, I suppose they'd connect the two in some way, possibly by showing that the events of the original Blob were adapted into a film. I don't know, who needs logic.
- DirectorRoy Ward BakerStarsBarbara ParkinsRichard ToddSylvia SymsIn order to secure a job at a mental institution, a young psychiatrist must interview four patients inside the asylum.

After being discharged from the mental hospital with an amputee, he discovers that his mother has remarried, prompting him to go on a homicidal rampage.Released in February 1973, although it had an initial premiere in December of 1972, so that’s why I’m including it here in order of the other films.

- DirectorJuan Piquer SimónStarsAntonio CantaforaCameron MitchellJosé Luis AyestaránThe superhero Kronos, from a distant galaxy, tangles with the mad scientist Dr. Gulik over the fate of mankind.Sleazy flick from Spain, but gotta give props to the soundtrack and the low tech SFX.

- DirectorAlan J. LeviStarsDonna WilkesRichard JaeckelAntoinette BowerA psychopath escapes from a mental institution and starts a murder spree, which ends in the pursuing of a young handicapped girl, who once got a blood transfusion from him.You can't deny that the majority of these slasher movies have memorable titles, even if the bulk of the storylines aren't always what they seem. Hope Shout Factory or Arrow Video finds the original negative for a new Blu-ray, but only time will tell.

- DirectorRichard CiupkaStarsJohn VernonSamantha EggarLinda ThorsonSix young actresses auditioning for a movie role at a remote mansion are targeted by a mysterious masked murderer.Breezed by, considering the troubled production, it still turned out to be just as effective. You can count on the fact there’s people that say it’s disjointed or it’s unsatisfactory, but I didn’t have a problem with either.
- DirectorRobert HiltzikStarsFelissa RoseJonathan TierstenKaren FieldsBunks and showers are a mad stabber's beat at a summer camp strictly for teens.
- DirectorEnzo BarboniStarsTerence HillBud SpencerBuffy DeeTwo men meet in a strange situation and end up being mistaken first for robbers, then for Secret Service agents.First film I’ve watched with this duo; pretty clever visual gags such as the secret agents’ vendor disguises, the duo’s car with its various gadgets and radio (oil spray), and “hamburger” ninjas. They don't make comedy like they used to, hence it is probably best to go back and study these old films in order to "make the past unite with the present."
- DirectorBruce GowersStarsEddie MurphyJames ArgiroGus LoundermonEddie Murphy's raunchy, raucous stand-up comedy routine is captured for posterity on this tape.
- DirectorEnzo BarboniStarsTerence HillBud SpencerApril CloughA jazz musician and a stunt man are the spitting image of two millionaire brothers. They take the job to replace them in Rio de Janeiro when someone plans to assassinate them.

Now evildoers will have a lot to lose.From a film company that specializes in trashy and cheesy films, but has gotten slightly better in quality in the wake of their film, Return to Nuke 'Em High.
- DirectorSimon NuchternStarsBelinda MontgomeryViveca LindforsSolly MarxA criminally insane man is accidentally released from a mental hospital. The staff tries to cover it up, but a young psychiatrist travels to the college town where he committed several murders to warn the locals and anticipate his arrival.Quite legitimate flick, specifically with today's culture and homelessness.

- DirectorGregg ChampionStarsDabney ColemanMatt FrewerTeri GarrWhen a police detective thinks he is dying and learns that his life insurance pays out more if he dies in the line of duty, he tries to make that happen.Forgot about including this, but I was attracted to the film because of the car chase. As far as I'm also concerned, although released on DVD in foreign markets, this has never made past a home media release in the United States. This deserves a new Blu-ray release if Shout Factory ever acquires the rights.
- DirectorEric LouzilStarsBrick BronskyLisa GayeLeesa RowlandWhen school reporter Roger Smith meets a beautiful subhumanoid named Victoria, they fall in love but becomes determined to save her and the new school from a giant mutant squirrel, Tromie.

- DirectorPeter LauerStarsJase BlankfortTrey RogersFrank LangellaA couple brothers are told a ghost story about a farmer's Siamese twins, but during a séance, they mistakenly awaken the evil twin and are forced to defend their community from being haunted.Dated for older viewers and more modern audiences, but the prologue has good setup. I imagine if this would get a full-fledged remake, they’d take further advantage of the implicit concepts and make it more darker and depraved à la Children of the Corn, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Salem’s Lot, Sinister or Fear Street. All in all, Goosebumps is more creepy.
- DirectorNorio TsurutaStarsYukie NakamaSeiichi TanabeKumiko AsôIn this prequel to Ring, a young Sadako becomes an actress in hopes of escaping her troubled past. But strange visions and terrifying powers begin to manifest...
