I�m looking for help for the last chapter of FWFR:The Book and I�d love to get everyone�s input.
Chapter 10 is called Great Reviews of Films you Have Never Heard of a Will Probably Never See and it highlights B-movies and very obscure, short films.
Benj and I are trying to make the chapter interactive by reviewing movies that are also available on Youtube. If I reader is interested in seeing the movie, they simple type the title and the film and watch it on YouTube. I�m amazed by the number of films that are available.
Here are some examples:
THE BOXING CATS (PROF. WELTON�S) (1894)
CATTLE DRIVEN TO SLAUGHTER (1897)
1894 COCK FIGHT (1894)
THE DANCING SKELETON � LUMIERE
EDISON � BARBERSHOP
ELECTROCUTING AN ELEPHANT (1903)
THE EXECUTION OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS (1895)
FUN IN A BAKERY SHOP (1903)
KILLER LASAGNA!
MIME MASSACRE (2006)
THE MAN WITH THE SMALLEST PENIS IN EXISTENCE AND THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE TECHNICIAN WHO LOVED HIM (2003)
Bambi vs. Godzilla
Here�s the criteria � the film has to be on YouTube and has to have at least four good reviews to go with it. (Each film in the book will have four reviews).
And it has to be YouTube. It would be too confusing to send readers to dozens of different sites. (Although Benj and I are toying with the idead of setting up a webpage with links to different websites. But I think it would be easier for readers to say �Go to Youtube and type in the film title to see this movie. The easier the better.)
So, any suggestions? I remember a sad, short film about a flightless bird was mentioned recently.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Surely the best thing would be to provide links such as fwfr.com/kiwi and have each redirect wherever. |

Gayniggers From Outer Space (1992)
This is part 2 of 3 on youtube, but the whole film is available elsewhere. The title alone made it worth the effort to find it. |

How about Panic Attack? It is available on Youtube and right here on FWFR.
Issues: It may actually arise out of obscurity pretty fast. It has only one two reviews (Thanks MERPs, that was lightning quick!) right now.
Three, actually! 
Quick's been redefined

Thanks for your help folks -- keep'em coming.
You may want to add Kiwi! as well as it is a huge Youtube phenomenon and now has a fourth review.  |

... not that there's anything wrong with it.  |

It's a shame fwfr doesn't have a database entry for movie length, that would make finding more of these a lot easier. There've been plenty added to fwfr over the years, many are in Toilet Graffiti, although I'm assuming most are unsuitable for publication?
Other accolades that may contain suitable movies:-
Really Ooooooold Movies
Unnecessarily Long Titles Award
It's a shame that the book is going to be 'family friendly' (I'm assuming it will be?), or Chapter 11 could be entitled "Smut in Four Words" and make extensive use of movies in Toilet Graffiti. And even better would be the addition of Chapter 12: Normal Movies Where Filthy-Minded FWFRers Have Seen Completely Unjustified Potential For Sexual Innuendo. The addition of those chapters could conceivably make me one of the most utilised fwfrers in the book.

That said, FWFR does have an edge to it so we're still running some reviews that contain swearing and talk about sex.

Boundin' - A Pixar short
This is another one that's probably not obscure enough since it was released on DVD as part of the Pixar Shorts collection not long ago. Great film though!

In this, u talk of 9 chapters. However, this topic suggests that there are 10 chapters. Which is the addition?
We added an animation chapter. |

About The Great Train Robbery, I was kind of thinking about it in terms of the average moviegoer nowadays who doesn't have a particularly good knowledge of films! But yeah, I agree actually it shouldn't be in there as it's not nearly obscure enough.
Glad The Killer Toilet was helpful though!

Here are a few that I found on Youtube, in full:
Foreskin Gump
Powers of ten - the full movie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm0bIuAVmOA
Boundin' - A Pixar short
Der Fuehrer's Face - A Disney film
Submission: Part I - only 1 review; Theo Van Gogh was murdered for making this film
Fish Fry (animated) - only 1 review
Panorama of Eiffel Tower (?)
Not sure if these made sense  |

Pretty much going with Se�n on this one. I had heard of Bambi Meets Godzilla before ever landing here. But lengthy titles having to do with conveyers, riveting underhulls, Admiral Dewey or threshing machines, only on FWFR (for me). The original great train robbery is a landmark film.
Are boxers beheaded on YouTube?
