HA! Thanks, but I’m ashamed to admit that I have both Reefer Madness and C.H.U.D. and never watch them.

I don’t know if I still have Reefer Madness or if I gave it to a friend, but if I can find it, I’ll see about sending it to you if you’d like. (It’s on DVD)

You know, I searched for it on a whim and was surprised to find it in their offerings, so I had to include it. It’s mental. I have the movie on VHS, but VHS quality is usually so bad that I rarely bother watching it. And because DVD is now the standard, it’s an impossible movie to share.

Now if they only add Reefer Madness and C.H.U.D.

And let it be known that long comments are the best, not the worst.

Wow, of the movies that I’ve heard of and seen, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was a nice surprise to see in this list.

I became obsessed with that movie when I heard “Smoke Two Joints” by Sublime and was misinformed that the intro to the song was a sound clip from Reefer Madness. I went and bought Reefer Madness and suffered through that crazy movie and didn’t hear that line once.

I refined my google ninja skills and discovered that it was in fact from BVDs. The problem was that you could only get it on VHS and you were lucky to find it on eBay.

One day a few months ago it came on IFC and I recorded it. It was a pretty crazy film, but I’m glad I got to hear the intro to “Smoke Two Joints”

If I had a few bucks to spare a month, I’d sign up for Netflix, but as it is, I don’t have the time to benefit from it all that much.

Plus I’d be out of luck on the “Watch Now” thing since my computer has only got a 800mHz processor.

(Sometimes I feel like I’m writing a blog post when I post comments. That’s bad, right?)
