Old / Interesting / Weird Films On YouTube Or Similar

I have Netflix, and have been known to obtain movies and the like via ‘other’ means but I’ve been discovering old and forgotten movies on YouTube. Old Hammer films like Hound Of The Baskervilles and similar. What other ‘classics’ might I be missing out on?!

This is one of my favourite films of all time:

“There is not other God, Satan killed him”

Watched the original version of Moby dick on there the other day. Obviously the Whale scenes or a bit comical now but the rest of the film & Gregory peck’s captain Ahab is still impressive.
By the way, is this Will who used to work in Mammoth? if so hows life in Canada these days?

Rob likes weird films! 🤗 🤗

A quick look shows both Holy Motors and Naked Lunch are available on YouTube.

La cabina. Can be found on YouTube.

Brilliant. This was shown on BBC (only once I believe) a long time ago.

Pentagon Wars

The Singing Ringing Tree or more on point the 1959 Mexican movie, Santa Claus. Both weird as f#ck

Thanks peeps!

Markrh, yep that’s me. Things are good thanks. Married….soon to be divorced….living in Squamish BC and doing what I did at Mammoth! It’s been a while but I’m thinking you are Greg’s Dad?

Hound of the Baskervilles isn’t weird, it’s a classic.

39 Steps is a goody.

Harold and Maude

its kind of a role-reversed Lolita with the addition of multiple elaborately faked suicides.

Under the interesting/entertaining banner. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

A short rather than a feature but L’Argent Content / Easy Money – like the French Connection but on roller-skates and not quite what it seems to be.

I generally like them older and weirder than Hammer, which was standard fare when I were a lad. Here’s some goodoes ranging from spooky to weirdly strange:

Spooky:

This is very odd, with a local theme:

Lastly, a very weird tale (filmed over Dinas Mawddwy way) 8-part children’s series based on Alan Garner’s book of the same name. Gave me mightmares.

Hi Will. Yes you’re right, Greg’s dad. I’m still trundling about on the Chase, hasn’t changed much since you left the area but it has its charms. Not quite Squamish though…

I bit different any well away from the Hammer horror request of the OP but a classic that is freely available on Netflix is ‘Akira’. 30 years old now, but graphically stunning.

This is one of my faves of all time. Peggy Mount!

Great thread :o)

This used to sh1t me up something rotten when I was a kid (particularly the opening theme)

The Wasp Woman…

A whole playlist here…

Thanks again. Looks like plenty of entertainment for the rainy / snowy season. That open culture like is pretty rad.

I sat through three quarters of Pulgasari on YouTube whilst really drunk. Communist Godzilla made by Kim Jong Il. I really wish someone would make a film about the making of it. It’s a tremendously bad film though.

This was weird, watched it as a kid, bought it on DVD a few years ago and it is still weird.

I saw La Cabina years ago. Folk (rightly) thought me odd when I tried to describe it years later…
I knew it wasn’t a figment of my imagination.

I watched The Fence, it actually captured the late 70’s / early 80’s perfectly.
