The first time I watched The Lair of the White Worm, it was with a friend in college who was a huge cult movie fan.

She insisted that the best way to watch it was to keep a running tally of all the phallic symbols in the movie -- and she was absolutely right.

If you haven't seen it before, it's a great film to watch with friends, and it includes impossibly young Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi, plus Amanda Donohoe at her campy-sexy best. In the US it's available to stream for free in several places at the moment. (In other regions your luck may vary.)
