Summer is upon us now. The best way to avoid the swelteringtemperatures and surprise rainshowers it brings is to stay at home, close toyour well-stocked home video library.
Here's a dozen titles to consider for viewers interestedin the lesser-known or forgotten corners of commercial cinema. Highlights include a campus unrest drama witha musical score by Meat Loaf songwriter Jim Steinman, a chilly bio-engineeringthriller/thoughtpiece from the pen of Michael Crichton and a film with RichardBurton playing a closeted gangster. You also get two early directorial vehiclesfrom future Cannon Films honcho Menahem Golan, one of them a Jewish gangsterbiopic with Tony Curtis and Milton Berle!
