My favorite "buried treasure" is a film I saw at Film Society once called
"Savages."  It was made in the early 70's but I don't know by whom, and
starred nobody you have ever heard of.  The plot concerned a tribe of savages
(i.e. aborigines) coming across a deserted mansion and moving in, and in the
course of 24 hours becoming civilized, holding a dinner party, and eventually
falling back into savagery and returning to the woods.  There was a lot of
parody of other films in it, including some wonderful take-offs on "Smiles on
a Summer Night" by Bergman.  Has anyone else ever seen this?
