THE AMERICAN DREAMER (1971), fascinating look at Dennis Hopper and his stoned philosophies, as he edits THE LAST MOVIE at his Taos ranch; full of sex, drugs, and campfire folk; a turning point for Hopper, as he was persona non grata in Hollywood for over a decade after this; with trailers, vintage commercials, and fun clips.

THE HELLSTROM CHRONICLE (1971), I loved this '70s-dripping scare film co-directed by Walon Green (writer of THE WILD BUNCH and SORCERER), with Lawrence Pressman (SHAFT, AMERICAN PIE) as the admittedly phony scientist (he's not one, but he plays one on TV) Dr. Hellstrom, who warns that man's time on Earth is limited, and insects will take over; full of some amazing time-lapse and micro-photography; great to scare your bug-a-phobic wife or girlfriend with; includes tons of vintage commercials, trailers, and clips.
