It Came from Kuchar (2009)

Summary: IT CAME FROM KUCHAR is the definitive, feature documentary about the legendary, underground filmmaking twins, the Kuchar brothers. George and Mike Kuchar have inspired two generations of filmmakers, actors, musicians, and artists with their zany, "no budget" films and with their uniquely enchanting spirits. (imdb)

Sparkle's Tavern (1985)

Summary: A lusty, bizarre, sexually-dripping marvel of the emotional dangers in a dysfunctional family crippled with secrets and lost passions. Marion Eaton as Mrs. Blake is the marvelously pinched backbone of this body of decadence and Dionysian mania. After the `enlightenment,' Buster is stunned that his kooky, closed mother comes to his tavern. She brings a mysterious guest, Mr. Pupik who sings revealing jingles and eats things like Christmas candy wrapped in slices of olive loaf. (imdb)

Wild Night in El Reno (1977)

Summary: While the 1977 film Wild Night in El Reno is not the first of Kuchar’s films to have been shot in Oklahoma, it is the earliest in which weather is the principal character. The only human beings seen in the six-minute piece are a woman briefly shown trying to use a payphone during a downpour, and the filmmaker himself, posed enigmatically beside graffiti proclaiming that “Jimmy Rush is a Pussy”.

Eclipse of the Sun Virgin (1967)

Summary: Bridging that weird void between pornography and a poignant search for one's self, this bit of cinematic splendor slips us into a dimly lit greasy place that cannot be shared with others. (imdb)

The Craven Sluck (1967)

Summary: As with much of his other work -- and 1960s New York underground film in general -- Mike Kuchar's The Craven Sluck relies on the juxtaposition of disparate pop-cultural modes to question convention, provoke laughs and restore personal vision to the filmmaking process. Part kitchen-sink melodrama, part sci-fi farce and completely tongue-in-cheek, the film packs a lot of ideas and images into 20 minutes. (Surreal Moviez)

Hold Me While I'm Naked (1966)

The Secret of Wendel Samson (1966)

Summary: A forlorn New Yorker seeks to extricate himself from his girlfriend and find fulfillment with another man in this impressionistic underground film from director Mike Kuchar. The eponymous Wendel (multimedia artist Red Grooms) can't seem to articulate it, but he's completely uninterested in paramour Margaret (Mimi Gross). Although he dutifully spends time with her in a dingy apartment, he's much happier wandering the city streets and checking out the beauty of the male form. (Surreal Moviez)

Ascension of the Demonoids (1985)

Summary: A big, colorful tapestry about rumors that are in all of the previous UFO movies. A loose story line that weaves in and out of the UFO phenomenon.

Forever and Always (1978)

Summary: A marriage on the rocks that hurts the heart almost as much as the colors hurt the eye. “… a full color portrait of a break-up that comes closer than any other to being an operetta.”

Pagan Rhapsody (1970)

Summary: Again, this is one of the short films made by George Kuchar, but where his other movies are about (hidden) homosexuality and the way the world deals with this, 'Pagan Rhapsody' is more about the loss of identification in these times (even though the short film was made almost 40 years ago, the message stays alive).
