    The American Astronaut (Cory McAbee, 2001)

    Im suprised that this film from 2001 hasnt been mentioned much on the forum.Its directed by Cory McAbee who also wrote and stars in it. I consider it a Sci-Fi western with hints of David Lynch, Guy Maddin, Ed Wood, Flash Gordon and the Forbidden Zone. Fairly low budget but is very quirky and has a cracking soundtrack - check this clip out:

    I saw this in London at a private screening a few years ago - I really enjoyed it. Sadly the American DVD is out of print.

    One of my American friends is a huge fan of Cory McAbee so basically forced me to order the DVD from McAbee's own website (where it seems to be still for sale). I'm glad he did, as it's become one of our most-discussed, endlessly quoted movies.

    Follow the adventures of Samuel Curtis (writer/director Cory McAbee) as he travels through the solar system on a quest to recover the body of Johnny R. It's just another sci-fi musical comedy western shot in gorgeous black and white with a soundtrack by The Billy Nayer Show.

    Co-hosting this week are Josh Johnson of Rewind This! and Skizz Cyzyk of Freaks in Love.
