I love the theme from MC as well as "Everybody's Talkin" to death, but I don't know that I would classify either as catchy or groovy. I think they are both rather sad pieces of music, especially the John Barry theme, which is perhaps the nadir (or zenith, I never know which) of melancholy expression.

Not exactly fast-paced, but once this John Barry tune gets into my head, it does not leave for quite a while.

The College Girl Murders - a lurid, campy suspense-thriller out of Germany that I just happened to catch one night when I was about nine years old. It's far from a good film, but there's still something appealing about it. I like the color.

I love this theme. Also, my vote for most beautiful color film ever.

Wonderfully creepy and memorable theme to one of my favorite films from my favorite director.

I love this theme. Also, my vote for most beautiful color film ever. I really need to see Blood and Black Lace. You have often commented on it and I watched the trailer for the first time yesterday.
What is it you love about the film Mr. Dirty? It looks quite daring and sensational for its time.
It comes down mostly to the luxurious and decadent beauty of the film. It's just sumptuous and luscious, I know that sounds really gay. It is somewhat suspenseful and has even been called the first slasher. There are either six or seven murders. Even Bava's black and white movies were lush. There is something about his color films, though, that makes me want to get lost inside them. "Black Sabbath" and "Five Dolls for The August Moon" also being exceptionally lush and ripe. "Twitch of the Death Nerve", which came a little later in 1971, might even be a better example of a prototype slasher, right down to the shish kabob style killing ala "Friday the 13th, Part 2". The German "krimi" style thrillers from the 1960s were also gorgeous, but I know less about them. Somehow, those movies slipped under the radar.

There is nothing gay about using those adjectives Mr. Dirty. I don't even know why you feel the need to make that comment. I'm sure boring straight dudes see certain things a sumptuous and luscious, like a big pair of female breasts that they are jealous of because they don't own and want to be women themselves, so no bias of expression there.
I have seen Twitch Of The Death Nerve. It was ok, but due to your endorsement of Blood And Black Lace, I am really intrigued now. Ahhh.... you're right, Toasted Cheese. Maybe it's more due to the fact that I love the color so much. I dunno. I just got done watching The Carol Burnett Show, the skit "As the Stomach Turns", with Harvey Korman in drag. Huge breasts! There is something there.
