And actually there are some real nuggets available to watch now. Everything from new-ish horror flicks to Grindhouse (and it's sub-genres of exploitation loveliness) and early 90's 'hood films.
I'm a fan of 1970's cinema myself, amongst others, and have found some stuff that I've only previously read about so this is a bonus for me.
I've compiled a brief list of what's out there to watch but be warned that you never know if any one of these will be around for long so if you see something, go and grab it while you can.
No doubt I'll put up another list in the near future. However if you see something you want to shout about let us know as I'm always interested to see vintage films in their un-PC, sample-worthy goodness.
