Cold wars. Hot babes. Cool spies. Warm flesh. Good vibes. Resist authority. Remain nonchalant. "VideoHound’s Groovy Movies" is an enlightening, entertaining, eye-opening excursion to more than 200 of the most intriguing and extreme works in cinematic history—films so weird, so wacky, so cool, they’re guaranteed to make jaws drop even today. More than very complicated espionage with arresting cleavage was in the air. Much more. It was a renaissance era for art in general, and these celluloid time capsules from the Age of Aquarius are mind-blowing in their diversity. To this labor of love, Irv Slifkin brings his years of movie reviewing expertise as co-editor of the massive "Movies Unlimited Video Catalog." With 125 extremely cool photos, "Groovy Movies" is organized in 20 arresting chapters, from Criminal Elements to England Swings to Don’t Bogart That Trip to Bond and Beyond. Oh ya, and Do They Make You Horny, Baby? Foreword contributor Roger Corman surveys his classic films from the era, including his first-hand research for "The Trip."

Summary: Videohounds Groovy Movies is RANDY
Comment: This is a great reference movie/DVD book for all those far out films of the Psychedelic Era. From GET SMART to AUSTIN POWERS. A little flare for the 50's and 60's, CASINO ROYALE, Peter Sellers, VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and BEYOND...If you collect films from the likes of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S or IN LIKE FLINT, you'll need this reference book to see what you're missing.

Summary: This groovy book is Far-Out
Comment: This book is so Groovy! If you lived through the Psychedelic era or would have loved to, this is THE GUIDE to those movies that were the center of it all. From Bond to Shaft to 2001, from Fearless Vamipre Killers to Top Secret it has it all. This book not only has those movies from the 60's and 70's but those that spoofed that Far-out time. 5 Stars

Summary: Great summer read!
Comment: I was attracted to this book after recognizing the author from his movie reviews on the radio. It is the perfect beach companion. I was amazed at the movies Mr. Slifkin included, many obvious selections with new insight. Others were obsure titles that I had all but forgotten seeing. Perhaps best are the movies that I have never seen, but feel compelled to do so after reading this book. Any fan of this era will love this book. In addition it introduces the unique charm of these groovy pics to a whole new audience who weren't even around the first time they hit the screen.
