As the summer winds to a close, a fun way to ride out the last of the hot-temperature doldrums is to catch up on some cult movie viewing via home video.  With that in mind, here's a batch of twelve film picks that offer an eclectic way to fill out your home theater viewing schedule.  This buffet of choices includes the strangest spaghetti western ever made, a truly hilarious black comedy about suicide starring and directed by Burt Reynolds(!) and a grim gangster classic from Robert Aldrich.  The list also includes a Hong Kong rip-off the 1976 King Kong remake that outdoes its model for wacked-out thrills and one of the most controversial sci-fi films of the 1970's.  What are you waiting for?  Dive into this pool of cinematic wildness and shake off the end-of-summer blues...BLACK GUNN: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/black-gunn-v85199/reviewBLOB, THE (1988 version): http://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-blob-v6069/reviewDEVIL'S NIGHTMARE, THE: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-devils-nightmare-v13538/reviewDJANGO, KILL!
