While I count myself among his fans, there's still many of his films I haven't seen. But I have seen Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and it's one of my all-time faves (as are the other ones Roger Ebert co-wrote: Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens and Up! ) Faster PussyCat Kill! Kill! is also brilliant.

I was fortunate enough to catch two Meyers films about a month ago on Bravo! TV. They were playing Supervixens (which I only caught the last act of) and Mudhoney. I was very happy to stumble across these.

Russ Meyers ain't for everyone, but his style sure is unique (and I'm not even refering to his utilization of full frontal nudity) and you gotta love his enthusiasm!
