As a huge fan of both Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando, I’m well aware that their bodies of work encompass everything from classics to camp to awful. There are two movies in their cannons of work that are truly bizarre and (I think) highly enjoyable. 

“Reflections in a Golden Eye” has Elizabeth whipping Marlon across the face with a riding crop, a homo repressed Brando obsessed with Robert Forster.  And Forster likes to frolic nude on a horse, watch Elizabeth while she sleeps and fondle her clothes.  Meanwhile an always-fraught Julie Harris takes to her bed, is tended to by an extremely effete loyal servant while her put-upon husband (Brian Keith) wanders through the film in dismay at the surrounding events.  It’s a lot. 

“Boom!” is even MORE over-the top.  Just watch the trailer 

And yes, that's a picture of the "Boom!" VHS - I can't find it on DVD.

Here’s a great scene with demanding Liz, berated Shimkus and arrival of burton 

A stunningly bizarre movie – all 3 big stars constantly drunk (so they say) – poor Joanna Shimkus.

Noel Coward makes his entrace in a boat. Shouldn't we all?

The perfect storm of camp, drunkenness, color and unbelievable line readings. YOU MUST WATCH!.

The John Huston autograph is a really bad photo, on a stamped Mexican print, and he's looking worse for wear in “Myra Breckinridge” – did he need the money at the time or was it a favor to Me or ...???
