300

300 bare-chested, sweat-glisteningly muscular men go up against incredible odds to fight the Persian army, wearing nothing but capes and leather undies. 300 follows in the tradition of great cinematic historical epics like Ben-Hur, by having you realize that in ancient times, dudes were all totally gay. How did the human race survive? The [...]

The Terror of Tinytown

Made in 1938, this is a pretty standard western musical… except that it features an entirely midget cast (except a few characters who I swear were just kids made up to look like small adults).

Our Man Flint

I am not a Pleasure Unit! Starring: James Coburn, Gila Golan

I had to keep reminding myself that that was a self-conscious parody of a James Bond movie. I mean, the filmmakers were trying to be funny. Still, though– I mean, the original James Bond films were corny enough in their own right [...]
