Should have also focused on exploitation movies.

I would've found that interesting, too. I think the biggest problem with the documentary (aside from the plentiful spoilers that are mentioned in another thread [ see "Great film, one bad part" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1337117/board/nest/168965566 ] - anyone who isn't already well-versed in horror films will see WAY too much of a LOT of great movies and it might ruin the experience for them!) is that it was too short. They had enough material to do a series, even just an additional disc's worth of interviews etc., which would have allowed them to get into the less mainstream stuff that you mentioned. I thought they did a good job with what they used, but yeah, there was definitely more that could've been covered for those of us who like the off-the-beaten-path films. A bit of history behind what Tarantino and Rodriguez were trying to recreate with "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof" - that whole grindhouse subculture - would have been fascinating.


P.S. For anyone heading to that other thread, just FYI, I spoiler-tagged everything I posted there, so you won't be in danger of seeing anything you don't want to see from me, at least!
