Topic: SKIDOO (1968) coming to DVD

SKIDOO (1968) is coming to DVD on July 19.

Not sure if that's good or bad. One of the worst films made... unless you're under your influence of choice. Groucho Marx's cinematic farewell.

Worth purchasing just for the sight of Groucho smoking an "herbal jazz cigarette"  at the end of the movie!

YES!  Supposedly Groucho took LSD under Timothy Leary's guidance at this time (1968).

I have never seen this film, and I think I have to see it just to know how bad it is!

I never thought I'd see the day that film was released on DVD. How'd they do it, didn't otto premeiger's estate prevent them from releasing that film.

This is a film that I have to see.

I got a bootleg DVD of it years ago, and not only do I love it, but every time I've watched it over the years and other people came into the room, they were always completely transfixed and absolutely loved it, even if they weren't the sort of person you'd think would be into that sort of thing at all. Weird...

I forgot to update my prior post.  I was able to view it a few days later and it is a hilarious catastrophe of a movie. Skidoo has quickly become one of my favorite bad movies of all time and anyone who's like me and enjoys watching movies "so bad they are good" owes it to themselves to give this one a view.

The end with Carol Channing running around the ship with the hippies singing the title song cracks me up without fail.
