Brian DePalma's groundbreaking 1968 counterculture film, GREETINGS!, was the very first film to receive an X rating from the newly created MPAA. This is the 2nd of 3 compilation clips that show why the film is classic, though they dont include any of the extensive nudity that was the reason for the film's adult classification. DePalma created a sequel in 1970 called "Hi Mom!", which had its own bouts of censorship difficulties with the MPAA, before it was finally granted an R after a few minor cuts.

In this second segment, Lloyd (Gerrit Graham) obsesses on the JFK assassination to a pathological extent, including in one sequence where he uses a girl's nude sleeping body to demonstrate the fallacy of the "single bullet theory" (and because of YouTube's strict no-nudity policy, that segment isnt included here). While working at the bookstore, as Jon (Robert DeNiro) watches from above, Lloyd meets up with a manic individual who claims to be the nephew of Earlene Roberts ("my aunt Lene!").
