"Marathon Man" (1976)
Marathon Man (1976) is a slick thriller adapted for the screen by William Goldman from his novel of the same name, and directed by John Schlesinger. The film stars Dustin Hoffman as a graduate student whose brother gets him involved with international intrigue concerning a Nazi war criminal. The
criminal is played to perfection by Sir Laurence Olivier, who was in very poor health, and hadn't been working. As a matter of fact, they had a great deal of trouble getting him insured. He, of course, fooled everyone and lived several more years. Marthe Keller plays Ho0ffman's love interest, and shows her breasts in a fairly lengthy post-coital scene. Hoffman comments in a new retrospective made for the DVD that the two of them really got along well, and that if he hadn't been married at the time, they would have become a lot closer.
The most famous scene in the film is when Olivier, who is supposedly an ex dentist, tortures Hoffman by drilling into a nerve in his front tooth. IMDB readers say 7.3/10, Maltin was turned off by the amount of violence and only gave 2 1/2 stars, while praising performances by Hoffman and Olivier.
In fact, given the anti-violence mood in 1976, one fighting scene ws completely cut, and some audiences would go into the lobby to avoid the dental scene. The film has lots of plot twists, and great pace, and keeps the suspense going beginning to end. B-.

"First Power" (1990)
Maltin, in awarding 1 1/2 stars, put it better than I ever could. "Cat-and-mouse battle between an L. A. cop and the spirit of an executed Devil's disciple who has the ability to pop in and out of other people's bodies. Very weak supernatural horror that fails to frighten, or offer anything fresh." The exposure comes from Sue Giosa who plays a cop used as a decoy. We see her breasts as a corpse with a pentagram carved on her stomach.
This film is so bad I couldn't stay awake. IMDB readers say 4.7/10. The only thing preventing me from awarding an F is some nice visuals. D-. Somehow, the film grossed $22,424,195 domestically.

Wicked is sort of a variation on Poison Ivy, except that the daughter wants to get mommy out of the way so she can take over her life. But who wants the daughter out of the way? The au pair? The dad? The perverted neighbor? The little sister? The cop? Somebody else? Or nobody at all?
Not a great movie, but worth watching for the brilliant performance of 16 year old Julia Stiles as the psychotic child-woman, in which she is chillingly adult in some scenes.
The Unborn (1991) is yet another Corman Classic. I think my review is one of my funnier plot summaries.
Viva las Nowhere (2000) is a crazy black comedy starring Daniel Stern and Jimmy Caan. Ol' Sonny Corleone sings! You never heard of it except in Tuna's review (under its other name, Dead Simple), but it has a great visual style, and is funny.
Cecil B Demented is the all-too-tame John Waters film about a group of indy film terrorists who kidnap a Hollywood star and force her to act in their film. These terrorists are about as radical as the fucking Von Trapp family. Basically just a whiny rant, the cinematic equivalent of Blackwell's bitchy worst-dressed
lists. (I nominate Jason Lee to play Blackwell in the biopic)

If hot babes fully nekkid in 70's-Euro erotica/horror movies are your thing, then BFD has some great stuff for you today! From "Nuda per Satana" aka "Nude for Satan" (1974).
I think the user comments in the IMDb sum it up best...."12 breasts, 1 beast, 1 tablespoon blood".
As for the nudity...all three B's and lot's of 'em.
For those interested...Realist also wrote a thorough review and put together about 25 'caps back in the June 12 edition of the Fun House.
