I am a huge fan of filmmaker Randal Kleiser.
Perhaps best known for his brilliant direction of Grease, his (loose) trilogy of perversion and erotic splendor that followed is an under appreciated in the study of cinema. Where is Cashiers du Cinema when you need them?
I present for evidence:
The Blue Lagoon
Summer Lovers
Grandview USA
No one matched sexy and stupid better.
Since, Kleiser has focused more on kiddie fare, but his use of widescreen and color is still top quality. In 1996, he made his first "out" film as a gayer, the underrated It's My Party, which subtly referenced all three of these classics.
Go to your video store and have a festival this weekend.
