BABO 73 (Robert Downey Sr., 1964)
Robert Downey Sr.’s first feature is a rollicking, slapstick, ultra-low-budget 16 mm comedy experiment that introduced a twisted new voice to the New York underground.

CHAFED ELBOWS (Robert Downey Sr., 1966)
This riot of bad taste was a breakthrough for Downey, thanks to rave notices. Visualized largely in still 35 mm photographs, it follows a shiftless downtown Manhattanite having his “annual November breakdown.”

NO MORE EXCUSES (Robert Downey Sr., 1968)
Downey takes his camera and microphone onto the streets (and into some bedrooms) for a look at Manhattan’s singles scene of the late sixties.

PUTNEY SWOPE (Robert Downey Sr., 1969)
Dark satire in which the token black man on the executive board of an advertising firm is accidentally put in charge. Renaming the business "Truth and Soul, Inc.", he replaces the tight regime of monied white ad men with his militant brothers. Soon afterwards, however, the power that comes with its position takes its toll on Putney...

TWO TONS OF TURQUOISE TO TAOS TONIGHT (Robert Downey Sr., 1975)
"Moment To Moment" (also known as "Two Tons of Turquoise to Taos Tonight") is an experimental, ludicrous, plotless, absurd, surreal comedy. Impossible to understand, which is seemingly intentional. It leaps from scene to scene, world to world, with reecuring names and actors being the only things that hold it together. Very much like sketch comedy, except without much of a point. The movie literally goes from "Moment To Moment", with no actual narrative in mind rather than to just film a bunch of miscellaneous scenes and ideas and cut them together. Make of it what you will.
