Stone
Australia's outlaw-biker scripture. Mad Max drank from this tank.
The only film Sandy Harbutt ever made, and Australia's foundational outlaw-biker picture. After a club member witnesses a political assassination, someone starts picking the riders off, so a cop goes undercover in the Gravediggers to find out who. Harbutt cast and consulted real bikies, and it shows in the funeral run, a highway procession of hundreds of bikes that no budget could have bought. It became a cult object at home, screened and re-screened for decades while its maker never directed again. The leather, the chrome and the sunbaked-road fatalism fed straight into Mad Max a few years later. Rough around every edge and held together by pure mood.

Filed alongside
She-Devils on Wheels
H.G. Lewis hands the gore to a real biker gang. The acting is a crime; the piano wire is the point.
Werewolves on Wheels
Exactly what it says, at half the pace you want.
Stunt Rock
No plot. A stuntman and a prog band. Exists purely so Grant Page can work.
Alvin Purple
The sex comedy that funded the entire boom. Historically important, hard going.
Next of Kin
A slow-burn gothic in a nursing home. Much better than its obscurity suggests.
Satan's Sadists
Al Adamson's grimiest, shot partly where the Manson family was living.
