Classic Movies

Mechanized Death    (1961):  28 minutes of carnage and gore. Despite the endless graphic footage of blood drenched faces lifelessly wedged through spidered windshields, the narrator's overly dire voice added a comical element, creating the expectation that at any moment he was also going to begin lecturing on the dangers of VD, marijuana and Russia's impending Communist invasion.   -- extracted from dmv.org

Wheels of Tragedy   (1963):  In one reenacted scene, a cocksure driver named Frank ignores the desperate pleas of his girlfriend to slow down with the assurance, "Everybody goes over the speed limit sometimes."

Reefer Madness   (1936):  Reefer Madness (aka Tell Your Children) is a 1936 exploitation film financed by a church group, revolving around the tragic events that ensue when high school students are lured by pushers to try "marihuana": resulting in a hit and run accident, manslaughter, suicide, rape, and descent into madness.. 

Intended to be a morality tale about the dangers of cannabis, soon after the film was shot, it was purchased and re-cut for distribution on the exploitation film circuit. The film never gained an audience but was rediscovered in the 1970s as a piece of unintentional comedy among cannabis smokers. Today, it is in the public domain in the United States and is considered a cult film. It inspired a musical satire, which premiered off-Broadway in 2001, and as a Showtime film, 'Reefer Madness', based on the musical --
