Viewing Notes

From my library: Midnight Movies (2005). The documentary about the original midnight movies from the 70s. Apparently El Topo was the very first midnight movie, which I didn’t know. Also highlights Pink Flamingos, The Harder They Come, NOTLD, Eraserhead & Rocky Horror (natch). Great that each director discusses their films & the others. Wish there was additional bonus coverage or interviews. There are zero extras. boo!
