The Manitou -- sounds like a keeper!

I happened to come across a movie in Netflix from 1978 called The Manitou and I thought the description was pretty funny. This just doesn't sound like a good movie...

When Karen (Susan Strasberg) tries to have a tumor removed, she discovers it's actually the deformed fetus of an ancient Native American shaman ready to be reincarnated. Soon, the evil spirit bursts forth, and Karen turns to a sham psychic (Tony Curtis) and a contemporary medicine man (Michael Ansara) for a showdown with the murderous creature. Stella Stevens, Burgess Meredith and Jon Cedar co-star in this campy chiller.

Sounds like a southpark episode. You must be really going mad without autocross if you've taken to renting obscure 70's B movies to pass the time.

I didn't rent it. It was on some list of movies they thought I might like. Not sure why they thought I would like it. I am now re-evaluating my taste in movies. ;)

With Burgess Meredith in it, how could you NOT like it? ::GottaRun

I hope Brokeback Mountain wasn't on the list

"Buttcrack Mounting"

Man, you should TOTALLY rent that! High comedy!

I saw the title and thought it was the name of a new GM product.

If you could find a copy of R.O.T.O.R., you should snap it up... it's possibly the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's so bad it's hilarious. My roommate and I were more entertained watching that than any of our favorites :D

We watched Gone Baby Gone last night. Hard to watch, but harder to look away. We were hooked after just 5 minutes.

That title made me think of a Jim Gaffigan routine....
