Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD EAN: 0695026701729 Format: Black & White, Color, DVD-Video, NTSC Label: Fantoma Languages: Manufacturer: Fantoma MPN: 7017 Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Fantoma Release Date: November 18, 2003 Running Time: 120 minutes Studio: Fantoma Theatrical Release Date: 2001 Editorial Review: Description: Generations of American children sat in dark classrooms and absorbed wisdom in the form of 16mm educational and social guidance films. Through the flicker of dim projector bulbs and the warble of optical soundtracks a blueprint for better living in the Atomic Age was spelled out in no uncertain terms. Now just as you remember them, Fantoma presents these collections of sex education & drug prevention films. Learn all about the dangers of marijuana, the perils of heavy petting, the difference between boys and girls and the joys of menstruation. Films include: LSD: Insight or Insanity, It's Wonderful Being a Girl, Narcotics: Pit of Despair, The ABC's of Sex Ed. for Trainables, & Marijuana (with Sonny Bono). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - HilariousThis film is meant to be humorous, as are the others in this series. 'Educational' customers who have a gripe because it's not 'useful' ought to read the description before purchasing. You have to watch this, unless you are totally lacking a sense of humor about drug and sex propaganda (and appallingly, those people STILL exist). Rating: - The Big Kick In The HeadWhat makes these films so enjoyable for me is that when they were made,they were intended as dead serious educational material.HA!Maybe that's why they're so facinating now or,at the very worst,surreal fodder.Some films are hilerious and laughable,such as a case study on LSD in which a girl trips that a hot dog turns into a troll.Others are just bizzare-such as Sonny Bono trying to make clear the good and bad about marijuana even while he behaves as if he himself is stoned.A couple of the films ...

Some people actually doubt the validity of these archival 16mm prints due to their outlandish and ridiculously amusing nature. Even if you don't like drugs, you can not help from laughing at these amazing filmstrips. My personal faves are the Lockhead-Martin produced educational shorts (containing cool oil lamp visuals, beatnik-speak, and groovy music) espousing the ...

My Mom remembers the it's wonderful being a girl segemant, and we both giggled and laughed at the early attempts at explaing "womanhood" I started laughing about halfway through the LSD one and stopped when it ended. I know full well it was supposed to be educational ... Read More Rating: - Woo-Hoo ...!I worked in Antarctica for seven months, and for some reason we had this dvd in our library at the station. We watched it about once a week. It's a riot. "Trainables" is one of the oddest pieces of "film" I have ever seen. Why have the huge close-ups of the presenter when he's got a horribly pock-marked face? It's a fun ride. Good to see some early Kevin Teague before Emergency and Road House. |
