Dennis Hopper: The Decisive Moments(2004)
The inevitable fat cigar between his fingers, the American actor, director and fine artist Dennis Hopper (1936) self-mockingly looks back on his chequered life and career, at the request of Dutch director, photographer and fine artist Thom Hoffman. The latter sifted through the turbulent life story of Hopper, who is primarily known from the cult film Easy Rider (1969). Hopper went through as many high as low points. In conveniently arranged chapters, Hoffman shows the decisive moments in Hopper's life and asks colleagues like Wim Wenders, David Lynch, Sean Penn and Julian Schnabel to comment on them. The documentary is richly illustrated with film excerpts, photos, newspaper articles and anecdotes. The main reason for this film was the retrospective of Dennis Hopper's art work in the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum in 2001.

Forbidden Cinema: Volume 9 - Ultra Rare Blue(en)
In the 1950s and early 1960s, pornography was kept behind closed doors. Men who belonged to civic or veterans' clubs gathered together late at night while a roadshow operator would bring several hours worth of films and a 16mm projector. For a price, the audience would be treated to short films of gorgeous, naked women. These events were called 'stag parties.' This collection features a selection of what was shown at those parties, including entries from the popular series Hollywood Cuties and Key-Hole Peex. Some of them star pin-up girls Peggy Winters and Thelma Montgomery, who both appeared in the notorious exploitation feature Girl Gang (1954). All of them showcase the types of luscious ladies who made the average working man a little happier to go home to their wife that night!
