I’m starting up thinking about the next book in the Tom Vargas series, now that I’ve written myself out of the corner that was keeping me from making it a series. I need recommendations for 1950s black and white drag racing / street racing flicks. You know, the ones involving surly teens and stuff. I also need advice on what kinds of 1960s beach movies I should be watching besides BEACH BLANKET BINGO.
Yes, these seem a bit contradictory. There may be two novels involved. We’ll see.

Well, there is always Top Secret. Skeet Surfing was quite influential.
Gidget is a seminal work – both literary and cinematic. If you get around to it I have…thoughts…because the backstory and context is bonkers.
Also, try this list – several of the lower entries have a horror-element, at least titularly, that might well inform your research.
