I once look at (the beginning of) a movie in color IR.  It was in the seventies,
and I believe the movie calls "narcissus pink".  It was done with 16mm color
IR film, and the part I see was badly overexposed... I only see the first ten
minutes : it appeared to be a (_very_) bad kind of underground X movie...  so
I was out to see something of better quality :-)
