Mountaintop Motel Massacre
Mountaintop Motel Massacre( originally released under the titles Mountaintop Motel and Horrors at Mountaintop Motel) is a 1983 American independent slasher film written and directed by Jim McCullough Sr. and starring Anna Chappell, Bill Thurman, and Amy Hill.
The plot concerns a psychotic elderly woman who, after being freed from incarceration, returns to the motel she ran and begins murdering the guests.

Two Solitudes (film)
Two Solitudes is a Canadian drama film, written and directed by Lionel Chetwynd and released in 1978.
An adaptation of the 1945 novel by Hugh MacLennan, the film depicts French- English relations in Quebec during the 1920s and 1930s through the story of Jean- Claude Tallard( Jean- Pierre Aumont), a Member of Parliament who is trying to pursue economic development opportunities for his impoverished rural riding in conjunction with wealthy Montreal industrialist Huntley McQueen( Stacy Keach), against the backdrop of the deep lingering mistrust between English Canadians and French Canadians in the aftermath of the Conscription Crisis of 1917.
The film was marketed around the theme that it would provide Canadians with insight into the victory of the Parti Québécois in the 1976 Quebec general election, and thus preserve national unity in the forthcoming 1980 Quebec referendum.
However, the film was criticized for casting French and American, rather than Canadian, actors in its two lead roles; Aumont, in particular, was criticized for not even attempting a Québécois accent, and thus sounding out of place in the film.
Music for the film was composed by Maurice Jarre, his first and only work for a Canadian film.
