Summary: classics? i don't think so.
Comment: I was seriously disappointed in this package. 8 movies for $10 list price is a bargain, but who wants to spend 12 hours watching this garbage? In all honesty, some of these films were so bad that I watched mostly in fast forward mode (particularly the Pick Up, which seemed to require the use of some mind-altering substance to understand). I suffered through the entirety of half of them, though, and none of those were particularly interesting in either a good or bad way. There is some bad dialog and acting that's laugh inducing here and there (particularly in Cindy & Donna and Malibu High), but for the most part these movies seem to exist for only one purpose: to provide soft-core fodder for men. Thus you get to see topless young women (most of whom aren't pariticularly attractive) in every film and lots of rolling-around kissing scenes. If that sort of thing is your bag, then you might like these movies. I just found them tedious.

Summary: good value for money
Comment: * films, most of these are eminently watchable, but not great films. Good B films that I missed while bringing up my children in the 70's. An excellent value for the money.

Summary: The top 10 things about the 70s I learned from Drive-In Cult Classics #1
Comment: The Top 10 things about the 70s I learned from Drive-In Cult Classics #1
10. Getting lost in an RV was popular.
9. Most young girls ran around nekkid.
8. All relationships ended in tragic violence.
7. Being chased on foot for a long time was common.
6. Hitmen were everywhere and would kill you for very little money.
5. Being chased in a vehicle for a long time was common.
4. Only bad guys had tattoos and usually they had just one.
3. Female teachers dated their male students as much as they do today.
2. If a dude was riding a motorcycle that dude was trouble.
1. Folks got stabbed and shot a lot.
MY SUPER SHORT REVIEW OF EACH OF THE 8-MOVIES:
Pick Up - Maybe they made this one for just for pot smokers. I don't know.
The Sister In Law - Very good movie. Great storyline and acting.
The Stepmother - The least of the 8-films by a landslide. Larry Linville is M.A.S.H. to me and nothing else.
The Teacher - Even though this is a common true life story that seems to make headlines at least twice a year it's a great one to watch.
Trip With The Teacher - Watch this one first. It's excellent.
Best Friends - This is like a book you can't put down and Richard Hatch never did anything near this good on Battlestar Galactica.
Cindy & Donna - This one is rated "Not Rated". Watch this movie with your entire family and have them all vote on what they would rate it. You should have all votes in very early in the movie and they will all be the same vote. If your name is Cindy, you will love the Cindy song that plays in the background several times. Well, maybe Cindy won't like it but if you know someone named Cindy it's funny.
Malibu High - Either watch this one first or second. It has SCTV's going to break sound effect in it several times. This is one crazy movie. Malibu High probably was in danger of losing its accreditation after all that went on there.
EXTRA BONUS REVIEW:
All 8-movies contain very pretty girls of the 70s. The DVD is titled "Drive-In Cult Classics" but when you put the DVD and click on a movie the doors of a walk in and sit down theater swing open. This is a great movie collection for the money. All of the movies are very watchable and very entertaining if you lived during the 70s and experienced drive-in movies. Remember, this is a collection of "cult" movies. That means they are not for everyone. Horror fans would love this collection.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great collection!
Comment: These movies are camp, sleaze, sexploitation, low bidget, and great! My favourite being "Cindy and Donna" though "The Step-Daughter" is quite good too.
What makes these movies appealing could depends on the person. I'm sure that some people have memories of these films, or films like these... or at least could hear these films in the background while they were attending to alternative drive-in entertainments. But these films have a wider appeal than just that. There's also the tanilizing eroticism of some films. All the films were made between 1970 and the early 1980's (I think 1983 is the year that the most recent film was made) and younger audiences be interested in seeing film from that period (and the clothes, furniture, automobiles, etc.)
These movies are not for children. And they should not be taken too seriously either. Be warned; if you're looking for some "amazing" movie, then you're looking at the wrong collection.
Customer Rating:
Summary: So bad It's Good
Comment: These shlock movies are so bad that they are fun to watch. The acting is bad and the production values are awful. However, they are good for a few laughs. I am not sorry I bought them.

Pick-Up:
An off-beat story about two young women whose lives are forever changed when they hitchhike a ride in a mobile home.
The Sister-In-Law:
A punchy story about the sexual entanglements of four people and how their moral conflicts lead to heartache and destruction.
The Stepmother:
A high-living architect who - as a result of his violent temper - finds himself enmeshed in two accidental deaths. When he discovers his 2nd wife having an affair with his teenage son...there's almost a third murder!
The Teacher:
She corrupted the youthful morality of an entire school!
An explosively tense story about a beautiful, provocative 28-year-old high school teacher whose seduction of one particular student proves fatal.
Trip with the Teacher:
A chilling experience in terror as a group of female students and their pretty teacher are ambushed, while on a field trip, by two sadistic bikers, forcing the women to learn a lesson in survival.
Best Friends:
Two young couples taste the free and easy life on a cross country motor-home tour until love backfires and tragedy follows.
Cindy and Donna:
Two sisters, growing up in a middle-class home with parents too preoccupied with booze and sex, find that being grown up doesn't mean acting like their folks, as experiments with drugs and sex teach them.
Malibu High:
High school senior Kim is having her share of problems. Her grades are poor, her boyfriend dumped her for a rich girl and her financial situation is disastrous. So she makes an after hours deal with one of her teachers to improve her grade point average. Soon, she is working her way through the faculty room and taking on paying customers.
