I love when films look like crap! Fading, scratches, burns, graininess, and so forth are all good things in my eyes. 
I know its weird but I love films shot on 8MM and 16MM to add to the graininess. 
Big Trouble in Little China rules! But I'm kind of biased seeing as how Jon Carpenter is one of my favorite directors.

It's absolutely horrible, twisted, and in complete bad taste. In other words I love it to death. It's one of the greatest B-movies ever. The movie is exploitation at its purest form. Sardu and Ralphus are one of the most warped and twisted duos ever to grace film. Any film that has Luis De Jesus in it is golden. It's one of those really bad films you need to have in your collection like Blood Freak, Snuff, I Drink Your Blood, or almost anything by Herschell Gordon Lewis.

I can put up with crappy looking/sounding stuff too. I have all my life. These days I'm more interested in seeing how the other half lives!
I mean I collect Sherlock Holmes silent films from the teens and twenties. They all look real bad, but they are what they are.Never mind the thousands of radio shows I've collected since the early '70's. I have a preference for the Witches Cauldron and I love A Mystery ( with Tony Randal as Reggie! )
I also get into Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Olsen & Johnson, the Bowery Boys ( Think where Rick Neilson got his look ), And Laural & Hardy. Oh, and of course the trinity, Larry, Moe and Curly!

Herschel Gordon Lewis is a god. The godfather of gore. 
His films might now be Oscar winners but he laid a bloody path for others to follow. I can't watch his films (Especially Blood Feast 2) without imagining him off screen in his directors chair all excited with a huge grin screaming, “Blood! We need more blood!". 
Thank god Something Weird Video decided to acquire the rights to his movies and put them on DVD. I was having a discussion on a horror website with a bunch of younger horror fans about Last House on the Left. They seem to think it was the most gory, violent, and depraved film of its time and the most hardcore films out before it were Psycho and Night of the Living Dead so LHOTL must have shocked people like never before. 
Of course I had to mention all the films I love including the films of Mr. Lewis and the first film to ever get an X rating for violence alone I Drink Your Blood. I even linked them to trailers for the films to prove the point. I love Last House on the Left but it didn't break any boundaries. It was just one of the best made and most easily accessible exploitation films. I told them for really depraved from the same year check out the 1972 version of Forced Entry. That film makes you need a shower after you watch it because you feel so dirty!

So did mine at one point. 
DVD wise at least. I've been collecting tapes forever. At first I tried to buy mostly new movies and what few classics I could find. It seemed like back in the day Anchor Bay was the only company putting out good old stuff. My collection went slow. Finally I realized it was pointless and kind of gave up other that a few DVDs every now and again. Now DVDs are a big business and there are a bunch of companies putting out old films I love. Some companies are phenomenal like Grindhouse Releasing and Blue Underground while others might not be as high quality but have one hell of a catalog like Shriek Show or Something Weird Video. Something Weird is like a collectors paradise. From rare exploitation and oddities to rare porn they have it all.

I just got through watching Four of the Apocalypse. That is the best f'n western ever! If you dig westerns you need to see it! I haven't seen it in years so I forgot what a good film it is. Plus the Anchor Bay release has scenes that weren't in the American version I had previously seen. It wasn't so bad when it switched over to Italian during the cut scenes and the subtitles are huge.
