Barbarella ★★½ Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy 1968 (PG)

Based on the popular French scifi comic strip drawn by JeanClaude Forest, this cult classic details the bizarre adventures of a space nymphette (Fonda) encountering fantastic creatures and super beings. You'll see sides of Fonda you never saw before (not even in the workout videos). Notorious in its day; rather silly, dated camp now. Don't miss the elbowsex scene. Terry Southern contributed to the script. 98m/C VHS, DVD .
