- DirectorJ. Michael MuroStarsMike LackeyBill ChepilVic NotoA liquor store owner sells alcoholic beverages to homeless people, unaware of what the bottles actually contain: toxic brew.The world's first melt movie! Love this film. Came out around the same time as Bad Taste but has far more scenes of bad taste than Peter Jackson's alien gore fest.
- DirectorLarry CohenStarsMichael MoriartyAndrea MarcovicciGarrett MorrisA delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance at any cost begin infesting the world.Man-eating yoghurt - what's not to like?

Apparently it's really big in Australia but almost unheard of elsewhere. A few of the actors went on to star in Mad Max.
- DirectorStephen WeeksStarsMurray HeadCiaran MaddenNigel GreenThe medieval legend of a supernatural knight who challenges the king's men to kill him.I seem to remember watching this at the cinema with 2001 when it released in 1980. It's got knights in it and 12 year-olds love knights.
