The Adventure of the Hasty Elopement
The ninth installment in the twelve episode OCTAVIUS AMATEUR DETECTIVE series (of which THE ADVENTURES OF THE WRONG SANTA CLAUS is or perhaps is not a part).

All Screwed Up
An anarchically outrageous comedy from Lina Wertmuller, ALL SCREWED UP is ripe for rediscovery, an accomplishment as impressive as the classics she made before and after: LOVE AND ANARCHY (1973) and SWEPT AWAY (1974). It tells the story of Gigi (Luigi Diberti) and Carletto (Nino Bignamini), two Southern country boys who...Start your free trial to watch

Artheme Swallows His Clarinet
This film was produced by the short-lived Eclipse Company. Few Eclipse films survive and, when this delightful comedy was found, the print was decomposed along the edges and the end had melted away. Ten years later, another print miraculously surfaced, free of rot but very choppy. This edition is digitally...Start your free trial to watch

The Bangville Police
Those bumbling Keystone Kops fly under the banner of the Bangville police force in this early Keystone comedy directed by journeyman Henry Lehrman. The film gleefully parodies the crosscutting structure pioneered by D.W. Griffith in films like THE LONELY VILLA (1909). In this case, the race to the rescue...Start your free trial to watch

Bizarre
Journey into the mind of the undead, as a talking mummy guides us on grand tour of the timeless “battle of the sexes” between man and woman. A cult classic from Executive Producer Richard Gordon (FIEND WITHOUT A FACE), BIZARRE is an offbeat anthology film that certainly defies description. An interesting mix of sex, horror...Start your free trial to watch

The Booby Hatch
The creators of the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD bring you THE BOOBY HATCH, a zany comedy full of schlocky humor, nudity and sex! Sweet and innocent Cherry Jankowski (Sharon Joy Miller) is a product tester for Joyful Novelties, Inc., a manufacturer of erotic sex toys. She goes day-to-day, trying to find self-fulfillment...Start your free trial to watch

College Chums
Loosely based on Brandon Thomas' farce-comedy play CHARLEY'S AUNT, the last two-thirds of COLLEGE CHUMS may seem unique in that it shows one scene entirely in an establishing shot. In fact, the film was often screened with live actors behind the screen providing synchronous dialogue for the on-screen characters, a popular...Start your free trial to watch

The Consequences of Feminism
Easily among the most famous of the early female filmmakers, Alice Guy (later Alice Guy-Blaché) would not be the person you would generally expect to make the gender-bending CONSEQUENCES OF FEMINISM. It features an unusual take on feminism, to be certain. For? Against? Somewhere in-between? In any event,...Start your free trial to watch

The Enchanted Spectacles
A parlor full of bon vivants pass around an enchanted pair of spectacles that “reveal the personality and pleasures of the one who wears them.” As always in Émile Cohl’s films, there is a thin line separating everyday reality from fantastic apparitions. The glasses reveal free associated stop-motion images...Start your free trial to watch

Fish in a Barrel
Imagine, if you will, every heist film that you've ever seen. Now imagine a hybrid of all of them recast as a comedy. Four petty thieves (a paranoid control freak, a constipated soul searcher, an apathetic drunk and a sugar-fiend kleptomaniac) somehow manage to steal $4 million worth of cut diamonds. Add...Start your free trial to watch

Le franc
In LE FRANC, Djibril Diop Mambéty uses the French government's 50% devaluation of the West African Franc (CFA) in 1994 and the resulting hardships as the basis for a whimsical commentary on using the lottery for survival. The hero of this tale is Marigo, a penniless musician living in a shanty town, relentlessly harassed by...Start your free trial to watch

I fuorilegge del matrimonio
Omnibus features were particularly popular Italian exports in the 1960s as they gave audiences a sampler plate of exciting foreign directors, stars, perspectives and oft-racy themes in one easily digestible package. This rare, star-studded curio waxes very cheeky about the Catholic Church's iron-clad hold...Start your free trial to watch
