Quentin Tarantino is curating a two month retrospective of grindhouse movies at the New Beverly Cinema in Hollywood. He’s using his personal collection of 35mm prints to program a 52-film homage to drive-in cinema and downtown exploitation films. Of interest to Brew readers is the Friday-Saturday March 23rd-24th triple bill. That day he’ll be unspooling Ralph Bakshi’s original Coonskin (1975) along with the X-rated animated Tarzan spoof, Shame Of The Jungle (1975) and the live action comedy anthology Tunnel Vision (1976, which has a short animated segment). This festival is tied into Tarantion’s latest feature Grindhouse. The complete schedule of films is posted on the New Beverly’s website.

I’d love to be able to go see those flicks, if only for the wow factor. They’re all from way before my time, but I still find them very interesting to watch.

When I was alot younger I remember having seen a Coonskin VHS at my local Blockbuster Video store.
God only knows what happened to it.

Oh, man. I usually don’t worry about not being able to attend these events due to living in the middle of nowhere, but I’d really like to go to this. Curses.

Maybe you like Tarantino’s flicks, maybe you don’t, but you’ve gotta give the fella his due — he revives interest in B,C,D-Movies with the same love and zeal that Scorsese devotes to the studio classics.

Too bad the grindhouse genre has been all but killed by the home video revolution. As for the screenings, I’d kill me a truckload of puppies to see Coonskin in 35mm. Damn.
