Elephant Parts
This little-known gem from ex-Monkee Michael Nesmith is always a fun watch.
Music videos interspersed with funny and some corny comedy skits still holds up pretty well after it's 1981 release. You get to learn the pirate alphabet, watch the vegetarian hunter, go to the Rock n' Roll Hospital and try to "Name That Drug." See spoof ads for bad horror movies, the military, car companies, typing services, "Elvis Drugs," fake TV shows, art dealers, and even "Neighborhood Nuclear Superiority." The music videos range from mellow to catchy pop rock tunes, including the winner of the very first "Video of the Year" Grammy- "Rio."
The dvd has some great extras not included in the vhs and laserdisc versions- extra skits and an awesome commentary track by Michael Nesmith. We get to hear how the video was made on a shoestring budget, funny anecdotes, and how he came up with the concept that would later become MTV.
A must see for fans of Nesmith and good cheesy early 80s comedies! It goes smashingly well with "Marnagritas" :D

Private Lessons 1980,  R)
Private Lessons
15-year-old rich kid Philly Fillmore(Eric Brown) has quite an adventurous summer, especially while his dad was away on a business trip. He gets seduced by the sexy new housekeeper Miss Mallow(Sylvia Kristel of Emmanuelle fame) who gives great 'private lessons'. Little does he know that she is only a pawn in the family chauffeur's scheme to blackmail him. Howard Hesseman is great as the snide chauffeur, Lester. Ed Begley Jr. is good as a tennis instructor posing as a detective. One of a long line of male coming-of-age/ fantasy fulfillment stories, with plenty of boobs and cheesiness. I'm sure Eric Brown had fun making this movie, this one seemed a little more explicit than most of the time period. Maybe it was the age difference. Decent 70s soundtrack sets the mood with three Rod Stewart songs along with tunes by Eric Clapton, John Cougar(Mellencamp), Earth Wind & Fire, Randy Vanwarmer and Air Supply!

Student Bodies
One of the first horror movie spoofs out there. Suddenly, all of the students at the high school who are having sex are killed off with inane objects and/or smothered with garbage bags. The pure girl tries to stop her friends from getting killed and to figure out who the killer is- is it the freak janitor? The crazy shop teacher with the horsehead bookends? The principal? Her boyfriend? Or is it her, which everyone suspects since she keeps getting found with the bodies! Cheesy B-movie horror spoof goodness! stupid, but can be fun.-- "Did you hang up? No, I just said click."
