Drive-In Cult Classics - 8 Movie Set


Drive-In Cult Classics - 8 Movie Set
Pick-Up:
An off-beat story about two young women whose lives are forever changed when they hitchhike a ride in a mobile home.

The Sister-In-Law:
A punchy story about the sexual entanglements of four people and how their moral conflicts lead to heartache and destruction.

The Stepmother:
A high-living architect who - as a result of his violent temper - finds himself enmeshed in two accidental deaths. When he discovers his 2nd wife having an affair with his teenage son...there's almost a third murder!

The Teacher:
She corrupted the youthful morality of an entire school!
An explosively tense story about a beautiful, provocative 28-year-old high school teacher whose seduction of one particular student proves fatal.

Trip with the Teacher:
A chilling experience in terror as a group of female students and their pretty teacher are ambushed, while on a field trip, by two sadistic bikers, forcing the women to learn a lesson in survival.

Best Friends:
Two young couples taste the free and easy life on a cross country motor-home tour until love backfires and tragedy follows.

Cindy and Donna:
Two sisters, growing up in a middle-class home with parents too preoccupied with booze and sex, find that being grown up doesn't mean acting like their folks, as experiments with drugs and sex teach them.

Malibu High:
High school senior Kim is having her share of problems. Her grades are poor, her boyfriend dumped her for a rich girl and her financial situation is disastrous. So she makes an after hours deal with one of her teachers to improve her grade point average. Soon, she is working her way through the faculty room and taking on paying customers.
Customer Review: classics? i don't think so.
I was seriously disappointed in this package. 8 movies for $10 list price is a bargain, but who wants to spend 12 hours watching this garbage? In all honesty, some of these films were so bad that I watched mostly in fast forward mode (particularly the Pick Up, which seemed to require the use of some mind-altering substance to understand). I suffered through the entirety of half of them, though, and none of those were particularly interesting in either a good or bad way. There is some bad dialog and acting that's laugh inducing here and there (particularly in Cindy & Donna and Malibu High), but for the most part these movies seem to exist for only one purpose: to provide soft-core fodder for men. Thus you get to see topless young women (most of whom aren't pariticularly attractive) in every film and lots of rolling-around kissing scenes. If that sort of thing is your bag, then you might like these movies. I just found them tedious.
Customer Review: good value for money
* films, most of these are eminently watchable, but not great films. Good B films that I missed while bringing up my children in the 70's. An excellent value for the money.
