A Complete List Of Movies Ever Shown In THRILLVILLE!

Here is a (hopefully) complete list of all the movies I've shown so far as part of Thrillville, going all the way back to its first incarnation in April 1997, when it was known as "The Midnight Lounge," whether at The Parkway, the Cerrito or for a "road show." I also included films I featured in the Parkway's Annual Film Noir Festivals, which I booked and often hosted, as well as Soul Nite and Audience Appreciation Nights. You will notice some odd, more recent cult film choices among the mostly retro titles, but this will only show how the show has evolved over the years as I tinkered with it, and grew into my own smoking jacket. This was on-the-job training, folks. The vast majority were screened in 35mm prints (only a few were in 16mm and extremely few on video or DVD, when there was no choice). Sadly, many have since vanished, either due to the distributor going out of business (Kit Parker), the private collector selling them off (Uncle Bill!), or some asshole claiming rights and pulling it out of circulation, letting it rot somewhere rather than reach a new audience. Anyway, for the record and the benefit of your curiosity, here they all are, from blaxploitation to spaghetti westerns, from mobsters to monsters, from the classic to the crass. If I showed a movie more than once I included a number beside it. I'm also offering this list to people who wonder whether I've ever shown a particular personal favorite. If there's anything missing from your want-to-see list, shoot me an email and I'll give you a status report (if I plan to show it, why I haven't, why I can't, etc.) Also, let me know if I forgot any - I'm not too ashamed to publicly admit anything. Whew, did I really find, book and host each and every one of these flicks?! You bet your fez. Dig it:
