The Tin Drum
Rhodes’ other documentaries focus on the subject of film history, such as "Lugosi: Hollywood's Dracula" (1999), a finalist at the Hollywood Film Festival in the year 2000. "SF Weekly" called it “sublime.” Then, his film "Banned in Oklahoma" (2005) chronicled an unfolding, five-year legal battle over the banning of Volker Schlöndorff’s "The Tin Drum" in Oklahoma. In 2005, the Criterion Collection released "Banned in Oklahoma" on DVD with "The Tin Drum" (1979). The documentary – which the "Dallas Morning News" called a “worthy mate” to the German masterpiece – also shared the award for best film at the 2004 Deadcenter Film Festival in Oklahoma.
