I know Sam was begging everyone to see “Children of Men”, but I propose another movie that should be viewed at equal haste: “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls”. It was released in 1970, with a screenplay by a young Roger Ebert, and was rated X when it hit the theaters. While the film was written as a comedy, what makes it better in a joke-within-a-joke kind of way, is that, the director pretended he thought it was serious, forcing his actors to play the roles straight, even though they could sense that something was off.
When all is said and done, by watching this movie you will be rewarded with some of the best 70’s tits-and-ass you’ve ever seen, painfully lame dialogue, transvestites, decapitations, orgies, role-playing, girl bands, and much, much more. Also, the fact that it was written by the fat-half of Ebert and Roeper (R.I.P. Gene Siskel) might give you some insight into what kind of films this leviathan of movie reviews really gives his thumbs up to.
