Safe Lists
The following lists are Automatic Safe lists. They are not definitive and there might be exceptions therein, especially concerning Distributors. Generally, the presence of those on the lists in an actual creative capacity (that is, more than just a cameo or bit part. For instance, Bruce Campbell appearing in Spider-Man does not make Spider-Man safe) is enough to make a film safe. Got more? Post them and I'll update the list. Obviously, films not including these participants are safe, too. Update: I added several new names to the actors list. Some of these actors appeared in actual big budget Hollywood fare, but most of their career was in B-Movies, then obviously discard the Big Hollywood movies and just watch the B's (For example, William Shatner. Ignore Star Trek movies but anything else is fair game. Or Patrick Swazye. Ghost is probably not right, but most of his other films were B-Movies).

Re: 13th Annual Drive-in/Exploitation/B-Movie Challenge April 1-30, 2022
Knocked off two more from my objectives list:
Games Girls Play
I only know about this one because it turned up on the list of movies that played in Louisville the day I was born. It was the first in a triple feature at two drive-ins. The others were Jokes My Folks Never Told Me and The Groove Tube. It's a comedy whose plot revolves around a 17 year old American girl recruiting her three finishing school roommates for a scheme to seduce high ranking diplomats. The age of consent seems to be 16 in the U.K., where that part of the story takes place, so it would have been legal. The liaisons at the beginning take place on American soil--with Army officers of ascending ranks, no less--so those certainly weren't. In any case, all the seduction attempts fail comically for various reasons. I actually liked it overall. The quartet of students have nice camaraderie chemistry that's enjoyable to watch. The comedic rhythm is consistently good enough to get several snorts or chuckles out of me. There are also two delightful scenes involving the girls' seduction attempts not going anywhere. One ends up doing a Russian dance in a hotel room with the Russian ambassador while a cellist and accordionist play blindfold and his interpreter sits in a recliner with his back to everyone. The other plays ping-pong with the star of the Chinese ping-pong team, who is entirely oblivious to what she's trying to do.
Killer Nun
This was much more a straight drama than the trashy fun I expected. In an early scene, Sister Gertrude snaps at dinner. She seizes an elderly patient's dentures and stomps them to pieces. The whole time, the elderly woman watches helplessly and just sobs. It's devastatingly visceral, and possibly the most heartbreaking scene I've seen in anything so far in 2022. Most of the the bits that on paper probably are trashy fun ended up not feeling that way at all. The sex scenes were sad to watch rather than titillating. I was genuinely invested in Sisters Gertrude and Mathieu. The latter appears fully nude in their dorm room a few times. The first time, I thought, "Here we go with the trashy fun!" But as the movie progressed, Mathieu's unrequited devotion to Gertrude became so desperate and pathetic that it kind of retroactively blunted that earlier reaction. On the Blue Underground Blu-ray, the director shares that they filmed in an actual convent. They got permission based on an entirely fake script, and maintained the deception by stopping whatever they were filming and put on a charade of setting up until whoever came around left. Part of me found that amusing and admires the craftiness, but mostly I feel like that was too far over the line.

Happy 420. Today would normally had been a day I watched Grandma's Boy. But I'm not sure if I still have it.

I thought that this was an appropriate story to post here. The Transit Drive In in Buffalo, which has been family owned for almost 50 years has been sold to Dipson Theaters. I hate to imagine what will happen to it now.

Thanks for running the challenge Caligula. I finished with Petey Wheatstraw, a movie I thought I hadn't seen until I started watching it. I did not enjoy it as much as Ruby Ray Moore's other 70s movies, but it's still an off-kilter blast. I'm watching international films for the MYO challenge so I'll continue watching some spaghetti westerns.

As usual, I basically had/made little time for viewing this month. Was hoping to dig out at least one exploitation boxset, but only managed to barely complete my monthly checklist, most of it sort of fitting the Challenge criteria. One of these years I’ll have a better April….

Thanks for keeping this alive, Caligula. It was a blast. I managed to partially work my way through 10 box sets (8 unopened) starting with some Shaw brothers and finishing off with a Bruno Mattei nunsploitation flick. As usual, I'll spend the proceeding month attempting to get through some of the remaining supplemental material.

Many thanks to Caligula for hosting this challenge - always one of my favorites. Despite a slow start I managed to hit 85, 65 of which were FTVs. I got through most of the Andy Milligan box set. I skipped a couple movies that were just variations of ones I watched (one was the version without additional footage and the other was a TV version) and a few that appeared as extra features like Toga Party. I may try to fit those into next year's challenge. I also had a big jump in streaming movies due to my by now well used but still fairly new Roku. As always, looking forward to next year.

Let me add my thanks to Caligula for organizing this challenge. I didn't complete my objectives in part because of baseball but I largely enjoyed what I did get to. It was certainly more consistently enjoyable than the Reds.

I didn’t count it, but it felt appropriate to watch an exploitation/illegal/creepy marathon of the movie and TV versions of A Teacher, plus the Netflix series Devotion, which also involved a student-teacher relationship.
