The Rites of Frankenstein
Made during director Jess Franco's amazing early 70's period, post Harry Alan Towers and pre-porno, The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein is a surrealist masterpiece, poetic, perverse, comic, and mesmerizing. Shot for next to nothing on location in Portugal, the film is full of evocative, wide-angle, hand held imagery that must have appeared jaw-droppingly innovative at the time, and still astounds today.

Jungfrauen-Report
This is one of Franco's strangest films in that he seems to be combining various genres, each of which he had previously only dabbled in.

Das Frauenhaus
This film seems very much like a largely improvised affair to get from one soft-core nudity scene to the next.

Convoi de filles
This "A.M. Frank" movie about a Nazi soldier who has lost contact with his Jewish fiancée and meets her by chance in a war whorehouse and is a real waste of time.
