Barbarella (1968)***
WAY more entertaining than it has a right to be. Jane Fonda looks great and the seemingly dated sets (wall to wall to ceiling shag carpeting!) actually work pretty well in the context of the story, such as it is. A comic book flick that doesn't take itself too seriously.

    Remember the last line Buck? : )
    I will be your electric Barbarella...chrome, latex, and steel : )

    I knew when I first saw you on the showroom floor
    You were made for me
    I took you home and dressed you up in polyester
    Princess of my dreams
    Emotionless and cold as ice
    All of the things I like
    The way you look
    The way you move
    The sound you're makin'
    In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

    I plug you in
    Dim the lights
    Electric Barbarella
    Your perfect skin
    Plastic kiss
    Electric Barbarella
    Try to resist
    Then we touch
    Hallucinate and tranquilize

    (she's so fine)
    (she's all mine)
    Our private life is subject to investigation
    No time to waste
    People say they heard about our deviation
    But you never looked so good
    Wear the fake fur and fake pearls for me
    And put on your mystery
    The way I feel you know
    I'll never keep you waiting
    In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

    I plug you in
    Dim the lights
    Electric Barbarella
    Your perfect skin
    Plastic kiss
    Electric Barbarella
    Try to resist
    Then we touch
    Hallucinate and tranquilize

    Princess of my dreams
    Princess of my dreams
    Major domo plasticomo Barbarella
    (She's so fine)
    Pro-genetic you Electric Barbarella
    (She's all mine)
    My pretty pretty pretty pretty Barbarella
