On the Inside
On the inside, ladies and gentlemen. Pree-senting my anti-canonical list of the “greatest” movies (laughs backwards) ever made on this or any other planet… presented for your edicational edification in no particular order… with conflicting standards applied… I bring you miscellaneous genres and the occasional rare species… with no abiding respect paid to “seriousness,” renown and what have you… See ‘made-for-television’ tomfoolery. Witness the wonder of accidental Surrealism; the expanses of expanded cinema, shorts, features. With industrial films… animation… agitprop… home movies… Hollywood cheapies… medical adventures. Step right up and behold!
