100 Eurotrash Films to See Before you Die!

Recently over at the Yahoo Group EuroTrash Palace the members took it upon themselves to compile a list of the '100 Eurotrash films to see before you die'. This was started as an exercise to create a quick listing of the movies beloved by fans of European Trash to hand to newbies that might point them toward the highs (and lows) that were possible. The first 50 or so were pretty easy but after that we had to dig. I have to admit its a pretty good listing and there are several that I still haven't tracked down.
KING OF KONG ISLAND is in my 'to watch' pile as are PATRICK STILL LIVES and DAY OF ANGER. I'll get to them soon enough. This list pushed me to finally see THE CORRUPTION OF CHRIS MILLER which turned out to be fantastic and it kind of reignited my enthusiasm to seek out more unseen trashy treasures. My trash loving brethren have rarely steered me wrong over at the ETP so I plan to tick more of these titles off as I move along through 2010. If I had to level a complaint against this 100 it would be that not enough Euro-Crime and Euro-Spy movies are represented. Indeed, the list is pretty top heavy with horror films. I think that just goes to show the general preference for that genre among the Group but it has to be said that Europeans were rarely better than when they cranked up the scares. And now that I think of it PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES should be on there somewhere. I'd replace MALABIMBI probably.
