Through the decades of my storied life in and around show business I have always had an esoteric
taste for film. I enjoyed many of the popular movies that have made industry history and I don't
disparage any movie based on its lack of depth or artistry. It just so happens that some of my
favorite films are abstruse works produced and performed by people that never made the mainstream
league. Here are a few more of my favorites.

Paint Your Crime Lightly (1976)
|
  |
Stiles Manifold made this stunning tale of a young man whose love for finger-painting gets him in a
load of trouble with a local crime boss who is forging famous painters' works and selling them.
Manifold filmed the move with every other scene sideways, giving the audience the illusion that
they were watching it from a laying down position.

At Home At Last (1984)
|
  |
A two-timing husband is a complex character in Fluffy Malone's dark story of a cheating husband who
brings women to his home and puts them into his bed with his wife, who for some reason never knows
they are there. The star, Derrick Woo, made only one movie, this one, because, he said, "I could
never play another character like that guy, so why try?"
