i like Arabian Adventure. I have it on a UK dvd which sadly doesn't have any extra's, but does contain an excellent transfer.
Director Kevin Connor made several fantasy / adventure flicks in the mid-/late seventies (The Land That Time Forgot, The People That Time Forgot, At The Earth's Core and Warlords of Atlantis).
Warlords is the only one i haven't seen, but the others are all fun and highly entertaining movies.

I just watched The Devil's Nightmare - A group of tourists each representing the seven deadly sins have to stay overnight in a castle with a succubus. Insane and ridiculous. I loved it!

This was a cool blaxploitation flick with a twist directed by Arthur Marks. Starring Fred Williamson, Pam Grier, Thalmus Rasulala, Tony King, Bernie Hamilton, Art Lund and Carl Weathers in his first feature film.
Williamson is great and Grier hot as always. I also liked the funky score composed by Johnny Pate.

Those Kevin Connor Amicus/AIP lost continent things are fairly juvenile, but they are a lot of fun. I remember seeing The Land that Time Forgot at the drive-in. I can't remember what the co-feature was. I think that it was a Godzilla film or something.
The Devil's Nightmare! I haven't seen that in years, Helen. It's pretty good as I recall, starring Sara Bay, a/k/a Rosalba Neri, the hot-to-trot star of many a Euro-trash film.
Bucktown! I really like director Arthur Marks, aTomiK. Detroit 9000 is a classic, even referenced by Quentin Tarantino in Jackie Brown.
And to give my response some class here, I saw The Bicycle Thief in a college film course, LwC. It's a classic.

it wasn't Rosalba Neri who starred in The Devil's Nightmare, but Erika Blanc.
Neri starred in the similarly titled The Devil's Wedding Night. Posts: 2176 | From: The Netherlands | Registered: Jun 2011 | Site Updates: 0

Excellent cop drama, starring Michael Moriarty, Yaphet Kotto, Tony King, Susan Blakely, William Devane and Richard Gere in his feature debut (as Billy the pimp, in case you see this and don't recognize him).
Stand-out performances from Kotto and King !
Tense, exciting.. and very good !
