Sixth St.) is “The Guy From Harlem,” a 1977 grade-C flick about a tough private investigator who is hired to protect a visiting African princess. Numerous reviewers call it “the worst movie ever,” and according to the Alamo description, “trying to follow the plot of this movie is like trying to ride a drunken llama to Cuba.” Tickets are $3, and the show starts at 10:30 p.m. (And we highly recommend ordering a pitcher of... something.)
