THE ASPHYX
Horror • science fiction • 1970s
This title went out of print in 2003 and remains our most-asked-about item. I don't want to tease you if you haven't seen it, but this is one hell of a movie.

THE 1000 EYES OF DR. MABUSE
Thriller • espionage • classics • German • pulp
Fritz Lang's final motion picture is part James Bond, part comic book, part paranoid conspiracy thriller. Decades after the death of the legendary master criminal, Interpol suspects his methods have been revived. If you can guess who are the good guys and who are the bad guys on the first viewing, you're a better person than me. |

THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE
Thriller • espionage • classics • German • pulp
At once a sequel to Fritz Lang's 1960 film and a remake of his 1933 one--this movie is practically a Mobius strip of self-reflexivity. Unfairly forgotten in the shadows of Lang's versions, this is a gripping and goofy thriller full of imagination and style. |

|
CHRIST IN THE CONCRETE
Drama • film noir • classics • Blacklist • indie
Edward Dmytryk's long-suppressed adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Pietro di Donato, an urban analog to The Grapes of Wrath in which an immigrant bricklayer lives the American Dream, and dies horribly for it. |

VINCENT PRICE: THE SINISTER IMAGE
Horror • documentary • compilation
David Del Valle hosted a pilot installment of a proposed series that was to have been like INSIDE THE ACTOR'S STUDIO for Gothic horror icons. His guest on Day One was Vincent Price, happily looking back on a full career. |

GUNMAN IN THE STREETS
Thriller • film noir • French
The makers of THIS GUN FOR HIRE went to France to make this forgotten gem of noir, a taut man-on-the-run thriller starring Simone Signoret. It was never properly released in the United States until our DVD in 2001. |

CUBAN STORY
Documentary • American indie
Words do not do justice to this oddity--a pro-Castro documentary about the Cuban Revolution packed with equal parts unique footage and psychotronic nonsense with host Errol Flynn. |
