Unearthly terror stalks the creatures of The Dark Planet.

Mostly wordless sci-fi anthology directed by fantasy and comic book artist Richard Corben (Heavy Metal).
Crumb director Terry Zwigoff’s first film is a true treat: a documentary about the obscure country-blues musician and idiosyncratic visual artist Howard “Louie Bluie” Armstrong, member of the last known black string band in America. As beguiling a raconteur as he is a performer, Louie makes for a wildly entertaining movie subject, and Zwigoff honors him with an unsentimental but endlessly affectionate tribute. Full of infectious music and comedy, Louie Bluie is a humane evocation of the kind of pop-cultural marginalia that Zwigoff would continue to excavate in the coming years.
Various kinds of tops are shown spinning.

Em 1957, Jodorowsky fez suas primeiras experiências no mundo das imagens em movimento, filmando em Paris uma versão muda de um conto de Thomas Mann, sobre uma garota que vende cabeças. O filme, considerado perdido, foi encontrado na Alemanha. "Não tinha experiência nenhuma quando filmei A Gravata," disse Jodorowsky, "... mas, nele se pode apreciar que eu já era diretor. Um artista precisa ser como Jean Cocteau... esquizofrênico. Necessita ser muitas pessoas ao mesmo tempo, não apenas uma."

Uma sátira da animação Fantasia (1940). Bruno Bozzetto utiliza os mesmos recursos de Disney, animando peças musicais clássicas e ainda acrescentando uma mordaz crítica social em cada quadro. O filme é uma paródia de Fantasia da Disney, embora possivelmente seja mais um desafio para Fantasia do que o status de paródia implicaria. No contexto deste filme, "Allegro non Troppo" significa Not So Fast! ou Não tão rápido!, Uma interjeição que significa "desacelerar" ou "pense antes de agir" e refere-se à visão pessimista do filme sobre o progresso ocidental (em oposição ao otimismo original da Disney).
